Most travel audio guides speak English. If English is not your first language, you spend the whole walk translating in your head instead of looking up at the thing in front of you. A tour should not feel like homework.
Why language matters on a walk
On a walking tour you are doing several things at once. Moving, looking, listening, finding the next turn. A story in your own language slips in while you keep looking around. A story you have to translate pulls your attention away from the place and onto the words. The difference is the difference between remembering a city and remembering an app.
Thirteen languages
TourTour narrates every stop in your language. English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Arabic, with more on the way. It is not a machine reading a menu. It is the story of the place, written to be heard while you stand in front of it.
The whole app, not just the words
Language is not only the narration. The menus, the routes, and the descriptions all switch together with one tap, so the app meets you where you are from start to finish. Arabic even reads right to left the way it should.
Good for mixed groups too
Traveling with people who speak different languages? Each person can set their own and hear the same walk their own way. Nobody gets left out of the story. If you are weighing your options, here is our honest comparison of self guided tour apps.
