Your travel time is important, make the most of it.

Experience the magic of GPS audio walks. For your ease and entertainment and education I have built what I think are three essential self guided tours in Portugal, Faro, Lagos and Tomar.  When you join a walking tour, you normally join a group. That group assembles at specific times, sometimes only once or twice a month. It moves slowly too, because everybody has to gather up around a guide when she has something to say. If you stop — to take a photo, buy a bottle of water, or tie your shoelaces — you fall behind. If somebody else stops, you have to wait.

What you need is freedom. You can start our walks at any time and stop whenever and wherever you like, for as long as you like. You don’t even need to hit pause. The app uses your location to play audio automatically, at exactly the right time and place, and when you start moving again, playback will too. It also gives you directions, making it much easier to put your phone away and immerse yourself in your surroundings, not the screen.
