Audiowalks turns any place into a guided audio walking tour. Not just the famous cities, anywhere. Type a place, pick a length and the themes you care about, and in about a minute you have a real walking route, narrated stop by stop, that plays automatically as you arrive. Most audio-tour apps only cover the same thirty famous cities. Audiowalks writes a tour for wherever you point at: a coastal village, your own neighbourhood, the town you grew up in. If a place has streets and a story, it has a walk. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Anywhere on Earth. No need for someone to have recorded a tour first. We write it on demand. • It plays as you arrive. Pop in headphones and start walking. GPS begins each stop's narration the moment you reach it. No tapping, no fiddling. • Grounded in real sources. Every stop is written from public sources like Wikipedia, plotted on a walkable route, with image credits kept. • Your language. Choose the language for each tour. The script is written and voiced in the language you pick. • Make it yours. Set the length, pick themes like history, architecture, hidden gems or food, and add must-have stops you don't want to miss. • Save for offline. Download a walk and listen with no signal and no roaming. • Discover. Browse a world map of walks others have made, filter by country, city or theme. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type any place, choose a length and themes. 2. We read the maps, dig into the history, plot a real route and voice each stop. 3. Headphones in, start walking. The next stop begins as you get there. Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Hindi. Tours are generated automatically and may contain errors. Always pay attention to your surroundings and obey local traffic rules while walking.
