About EarGuide
EarGuide is a tourist audio guide app designed for those who prefer to explore cities at their own pace, without relying on group schedules or in-person guides. Every tour features professional narration recorded by historians and local experts who know every corner of the city, from the major landmarks to the details most visitors miss.

Geolocation triggers the narration automatically when you reach each point of interest, so all you need to do is walk and listen. Available in Spanish and English for iOS and Android.
We currently offer audio tours in cities across Europe and Asia, covering over 140 narrated points of interest. New cities are coming soon. If you're looking for an alternative to traditional guided tours — more flexible, more personal and always available — EarGuide is your pocket travel guide.
