Walk, and each place tells you its story.
A free GPS audio walking tour: when you reach each place, its story plays by itself. Walk the ready-made route as it is, or adjust the time and places when you need to. No app, no sign-up. 149 curated routes in 81 cities across 36 countries.
A ready-made route, fitted to your day
Look over a ready-made walking route and explore it with each place's story. Start with the base route as it is, or change it to fit your time.
Check the route. See the places, their order and the estimated time — walking and narration included.
Use it as it is, or change a little. Start with the base route, or drop places and change the order to fit your time.
Listen to each place's story as you go. Allow location and each story plays when you arrive. Without location, pick a place and listen. Usually one to three minutes per stop, hands-free.
No sign-up — open it in your phone's browser while you're already out.
A good route is still not your trip
The route has nine places and two of them you have already seen — but you would rather not plan the day from scratch. Start from the base route and drop the places you don't need. Time and distance update on the spot, and on site you walk that route as it is. An example — Rome: Colosseum & Forum is 9 places, about 75 minutes; drop the two you've seen and the route recalculates right there.
You don't have to plan it from scratch, or follow a fixed route as it is
Map apps are strong at finding your way, and audio tours give you a well-made route with narration. Heritage Walking takes a good base route as the starting point, adjusts only the parts that don't fit your day, and uses the result on site as it is.
What this is, in plain terms
Every route is a self-guided walking tour with location-based audio: a walking map of the stops, a walking route to follow, and narration that starts automatically when you reach each stop. About half of the walks take under an hour, and every route is designed to finish within two hours. Unlike a group tour you set the pace and pick the stops; unlike going it alone, the route and the stories are already there.
Narration languages: English, Korean and Japanese. Where a language is not available for a route yet, it plays in English and says so on screen.
