App Store Description

Enjoy tours from around the world for free with SF Tours! You’ll experience the sights, sounds, and stories from people who take you with them on the tours that interest you most. SF Tours is interactive, too. Use the GPS to follow the same route taken by your tour guides.


You’re on a weekend away and want to see a few sites but not the usual ones. Looking for some place different from the typical crowded locations, you open your SF Tours and find a few choice routes that are recommended by locals. A couple of them pique your interest. They have really good user ratings, so after checking out both tours, you decide to visit the two locations, taking the same route for each one as the tour creators.

Letting the app guide you, you walk, bike or drive the exact ground taken by your tour guide before you. When you reach an important point of interest, the app automatically starts an audio recording, regaling you with what’s most compelling about the site, along with any interesting stories known about it and an accompanying image.

The nice thing is, you can access your personal SF Tours guide anytime you want, 24 hours a day.

Whether you are a local or a tourist, this app has lots to offer you. You can view any of the great SF Tours, day or night. Once you’ve downloaded ones you’re interested in, they stay there on your iPhone or iPad, just waiting for you to watch or explore, even when you’re offline.

The tours won’t cost you a penny either, unless you decide that you want to donate to the person who provided you with a really excellent armchair excursion or personally guided tour that you actually take.

SF Tours is GPS based, so it makes the perfect travel companion. It knows your location and where the closest tours are.

All of the tours are interactive. Take the app with you and when you reach a point of interest, the audio will begin automatically, acting as your personal tour guide. Unlike a real person, this one is available to you 24/7 and offers you images to accompany the interesting stories.

This app has something for everyone, regardless of their tastes in locations or sightseeing. Use it to decide on a travel destination or to plan your next trip. As the program is still in its infancy, the majority of tours are in the U.S. but other countries, such as Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and Germany are already contributing.

There are both casual and pro versions of the app, so some of what you see will be created by locals looking to share their love of a location and some tours will be professional created by sightseeing companies, educational institutions and so on.
