ELUMA turns your camera into a guide to the world's heritage. Point it at a landmark, a monument, a museum, or a weathered old façade — ELUMA recognizes the place and hands you its story: who built it, when, why it matters, and the details most people walk past without noticing. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Recognize a place instantly by pointing your camera at it • Read a cultural and historical story written for that exact landmark • Listen to a narrated guide where available • Explore nearby heritage on a dark, elegant map • Save the places you discover and return to them anytime • Keep a personal journal of everywhere you've been BUILT FOR TRAVELERS AND THE CURIOUS ELUMA works across six languages — English, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese — and adapts each story to the language you read in. PRIVACY, BY DESIGN Your camera and location power the core experience and nothing more. Location is used only while you're using the app, to sharpen recognition and surface what's nearby. Recognition images are processed to identify the landmark and are not kept on our servers. No advertising. No cross-app tracking. ELUMA is a brand of Oney World.

Every place has a story. trippinguide tells it. Standing in front of a cathedral, a monument, or a plaque you can't read, wondering what you're actually looking at? Tap it. In about ten seconds you'll have a guide written and narrated just for that spot — listen while you walk, or read at your own pace. WHAT YOU GET - Guides for over a million places — museums, landmarks, historic sites, and the ones no guidebook lists - Audio guides narrated on demand, so your eyes stay on the building instead of your phone - Full article versions for when you'd rather read - A live map of everything worth seeing around you, sorted by category and distance - Worldwide search for planning a trip before you go - A saved list you build as you browse, synced when you sign in - Contribute your own photos of the places you visit HOW IT WORKS Open the map. Every landmark within walking distance shows up as a pin, with a summary, a category, and how far away it is. Tap one, then choose Read or Listen. No signup, no kiosk, no rental headset, no group of thirty people shuffling behind an umbrella. WHO IT'S FOR City breaks, where you want the highlights without booking a tour. Road trips, where the guide plays while you drive. Your own neighborhood, where you finally find out what that building was. FREE TO START One free guide every day, no account required. When you want more, a Day Pass gets you 10 guides, a Week Pass gets you 100, and the Yearly Pass makes them unlimited. Guides are generated from public sources and curated travel data. They're written to be accurate and genuinely interesting — but for anything that matters, like opening hours or ticket prices, check with the site directly. No tour groups. No fixed schedules. No guidebook in your bag. Just you, and the story of wherever you're standing.
