Whale turns any walk into a guided tour, built around you. Tell it what you're into and how you want to hear it, then start walking. Six vibes to choose from: Top Hits, Historical, Arts & Culture, Nature, Hidden Gems, and Photo Spots. Four tones, from punchy to analytical, measured to unfiltered, so it sounds like a knowledgeable friend instead of a museum placard. Walk with your friends, even when they're not there. Whale has a social layer that turns every walk into something you can share. See the routes your friends have wandered, the places they stopped at, and the stories they unlocked along the way. It's part travel guide, part group chat for the city around you. However you want to use it: • New in town? Let Whale narrate your first walk through a neighborhood. • Showing someone around? Send them your route so they can retrace your favorite afternoon. • Just killing time before dinner? Hit play and let the next twenty minutes become a tour. • Traveling solo? You're never really walking alone. No scripts, no scheduled meeting points, no set times. Just press play and start wandering.
