What is a Touring App?
Are you planning a trip and looking for an easy, fun and convenient way to explore the best that a city has to offer in history, sights, and landmarks? Look no further than a touring app! It offers you a “tour guide in your pocket” as it turns your phone into a personal guide! As we continue to add tours to our App centered on Alaska (MyAlaskaGuide App), we now make a point of using other tour Apps whenever we travel! Overall, it has been an awesome experience.
Touring apps provide users with a way to use their smart phone to enjoy an immersive experience while they navigate a new city following GPS cues. Many of them have a variety of features to make your trip more enjoyable, such as detailed maps, tours curated by experienced guides, and audio narration with photos.
When you use a touring app, it saves you time and easily fits into your other planned activities as the timing of your tour is completely up to you. The app provides you with a pre-designed tour that highlights the best and most popular attractions in the area you are visiting. Since the audio is often GPS triggered, you can follow the suggested route, or wander on your own and have narration pop up when you cross over into an area of interest. This means you can make the most of your time and see all the top sights without missing anything important. With an audio guide, you won't have to worry about trying to read a brochure or a guidebook while also trying to navigate your way through the city.
Touring apps also often include interactive maps that allow you to easily navigate through the city. These maps will provide you with turn-by-turn directions to each attraction, making it easy to find your way around without getting lost. Additionally, many touring apps will allow you to save your progress and pick up where you left off, so you can take a break and come back to your tour later.
Lastly, touring apps are a great way to save money. They are generally a lot less expensive than taking a tour with a live guide. And once you buy the tour, you have it on your phone forever, so you can revisit it once you get back home to recall specific facts, or reuse it when you return!
In summary, if you're planning a trip to a new city and want to make the most of your time, a touring app is a must-have. With its curated tours, audio guides, and interactive maps, it will make your trip more enjoyable and stress-free. So, don't hesitate. Next time you are someplace new, try out a local touring app and tell us what you think!
