Walkfo: Audio Travel Guide App app for iPhone and iPad

Walkfo is the ultimate travel guide that works like a museum or art gallery audio guide / tour guide - but without the limits of the building ... you walk wherever YOU want and our AI tour guide is your companion.

Go walking, running, cycling or even driving with Walkfo anywhere on any holiday, staycation or travels to hear hidden history & facts about everything you pass (and things further away, if you wish) with millions of audio facts covering the whole of the UK & now USA.

Walkfo uses GPS to map your walk & generate an interactive audio experience in realtime with millions of UK English heritage, history & cultural audio facts. The Your Progress section tracks the distance youve walked, steps youve taken and length of walk to help record progress in health & fitness programs, whether in local lockdown, UK holiday, travel staycation or day-trip visit to London.

The latest addition, Public Walks, allows tourist destinations & attractions to create themed walks with unique information that might not be available anywhere online or in books. These walks are free to explore - allowing you to find nature trails, history walks, garden guides, city tours & more. Go on a ‘walk near me’ anywhere in the UK & Walkfo does the rest, creating an audio tour to enjoy a walk safely & in the moment, engaged with the hidden world of history, culture & local places of interest - and if you bump into a themed walk, Walkfo will let you know and allow you to join that walk.

TYPE OF INFORMATION:

history & key events
buildings & architecture
famous & influential people
geology & science
cultural moments
literary & movie features

Our AI smart guide will learn about what the information you love, to focus on the facts that interest you as you walk around listening on AirPods, earphones or speakers. And you can help shape the future by liking and disliking facts to help Walkfo know even better what kind of facts people want to hear.

So leave your tour guide behind, throw away your travel book and stop watching your phone when you are at an exciting destination because Walkfo will create a unique audio ‘walkcast’ dynamically, so you can be in the moment as you explore and hear all about the world around you … without looking at your screen and missing a thing.

Perfect for international tourists visiting London who want to just walk around to learn about the places they pass, for staycation holiday makers visiting places like Bath city for a short break or ramblers on walking day trips at England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales monuments or historic sites.
