How it works on foot
- 1
Open the app and start walking
The map shows the landmarks around you. Switch on GPS auto mode and put the phone in your pocket.
- 2
Listen as you go
As you approach a landmark, a 2–3 minute story starts automatically. Stop, look around or keep walking — it's your tour.
- 3
Go wherever you like
Turn down any street that looks interesting. There's no route to follow, so there's no way to get off it.
Made for exploring on foot
Your pace
No group to keep up with and no guide to wait for. Stop for as long as you like.
Hands-free
GPS auto mode starts stories as you approach landmarks, and they keep playing with the screen off.
Stories that fit a walk
Most stories are 2–3 minutes — enough to learn the essentials before the next corner.
Tour Planning if you want it
Prefer a plan? Tour Planning suggests routes connecting several landmarks, even outside your immediate area.
Breaks included
The restaurant and café finder helps you find a stop along the way.
Pay per story
A private guide typically costs €30–100 an hour. Here you pay per story with credits that never expire — and the first one is free.
A guided tour without the group
A walking tour with a guide means a fixed route, a fixed time and a group. AI TourMate gives you the stories without any of that: explore a new city on your own schedule and hear about whatever you come across — the famous sights and the side streets alike.
Walking tour questions
Is there an app that tells me about the buildings and places I pass while walking?
Yes. AI TourMate is a GPS-based AI audio tour guide for iOS and Android. As you walk, it detects the landmarks around you and — with GPS auto mode on — tells you their stories automatically, in 14 languages.
How can I explore a city at my own pace without joining a group tour?
A self-guided audio guide lets you set both the pace and the route. With AI TourMate there isn't even a tour to pick: you walk wherever you like, and it narrates the landmarks you pass.
Can I use it for a city break, for example in Budapest or Rome?
Yes. It works in any city with OpenStreetMap data — big capitals and small towns alike — so it's a good fit for a weekend or a two-day trip when you don't want to book a guide.
Do I have to follow a route?
No. The app tells you about whatever is around you. If you'd like a plan, the Tour Planning feature suggests routes connecting several landmarks — but it's optional.
How long are the stories?
Most are 2–3 minutes long. The exact length adjusts to the significance of the place and to your chosen age profile.
Is it cheaper than a private tour guide?
A private guide typically costs €30–100 per hour. With AI TourMate you only pay for the stories you listen to: the app is free to download, comes with 1 free credit, and after that you buy credit packs — no subscription, and credits never expire. Current prices are shown in the app.
Do I need mobile data?
You need a connection to generate a new story, but stories you've already generated can be played offline. If the signal is weak where you're going, generate them on Wi-Fi beforehand.
Walk out the door. The tour starts there.
