Experience the city through a Self Guided Tour

A self guided tour offers a flexible way to explore a city independently. Instead of joining a guided group or following a strict schedule, you discover the destination at your own pace while walking through streets, squares and historic locations. Along the route you receive clues, tasks and directions that encourage you to observe your surroundings and uncover details that many visitors might overlook.

Our self guided tours are designed to be simple to start and easy to follow. Using only a smartphone and an internet connection, players receive instructions that guide them through the city while they explore landmarks, hidden streets and interesting locations. Because the experience is fully self guided, you decide when to start and how quickly you move through the route. This creates a relaxed and engaging way to explore the city while enjoying an interactive walking experience.

            A self guided tour turns a simple city walk into a more engaging experience.

These elements encourage curiosity and make the exploration more playful and memorable.

            Self guided tours are also ideal for travellers who prefer flexibility. Whether you are visiting a new destination, exploring with friends or spending time with family, you can discover the city without being tied to a group or a fixed schedule. The activity allows you to move freely through the city while still following a structured route that leads you to interesting locations and highlights along the way.
