About Pocket Tour Guide

Pocket Tour Guide creates personalized walking routes for travelers by asking for the city, available time, preferences, and accessibility needs. It plans a day from verified real places in a walkable order, placing meal stops appropriately and checking opening hours. At each stop, an AI guide with a distinct personality narrates the story aloud in a chosen voice. Users can ask follow-up questions about sights, and the app answers in character. Routes can be saved for offline use, including narration, photos, and maps, with only new questions requiring a connection. The app also adjusts routes based on hourly weather forecasts to avoid rain. It supports 33 languages for narration and chat, and offers ten different guide personalities to choose from. The tool is designed for travelers who want curated, flexible, and interactive exploration beyond static audio tours.
