How it works
Point to your material. We draft the guide. Visitors walk it.
You already have the walking-tour script, the plaques, the history PDF, the brochure copy. Upload it and the Studio drafts a complete tour — stops, narration, and answers — that you edit and publish the same day.
1
Upload what you already have
Drop in your tour script, historic-district notes, a brochure, even a website link. The Studio reads it and proposes the stops.
2
Pin each stop on the map
Place stops by address or by walking the route with your phone. Set how visitors arrive: GPS, a tap, a QR code, or an NFC plaque.
3
Review the narration and answers
Each stop gets a short spoken narration and can answer questions — strictly from your own material, so nothing is invented.
4
Publish with one link or QR
Print it on a sign, a rack card, a lamppost sticker, or your tourism site. Visitors open it and start walking. Update anytime.

5 min
Collect all five stamps to finish the walk
On the walk
It narrates as they arrive — and they collect a stamp at every stop.
The moment a visitor reaches a stop, their phone knows. The story plays, the questions get answered, and a stamp lands in their passport. That last part is what keeps people walking to the end.
Arrives on its own
GPS senses the visitor is there and starts the stop — or they tap a sign, scan a QR, or touch an NFC plaque. No fumbling for the right screen.
Answers from your own material
“When was this built? Is it open? Where’s the next stop?” Answers come straight from what you uploaded — never made up.
Hands out a collectible stamp
Every stop earns a stamp in a digital passport. The half-finished sheet is a nudge to see the whole downtown, not just the first block.

Story loop
A few walks you could publish this week.
Every kind of place has a route in it. Here are three drawn straight from a small city’s own material.
Downtown
TrailRiverfront Brewery Trail
A self-paced crawl of the taprooms along the water — each stop tells its story, lists what’s pouring, and stamps the passport.
Story loopOld Town Story Loop
A shorter neighborhood loop for families — landmarks, a legend or two, and a scavenger-hunt of stamps to collect along the way.
Where it fits
Built for the people who run a place worth walking.
01
Downtown associations
Turn your main street into a self-guided walk that runs every day of the year — no docent, no scheduled tour, no printing.
02
Tourism boards & CVBs
Give visitors a polished walking guide the moment they arrive, in their own language, from the QR on your rack card.
03
Historic districts
Put the plaque story on the plaque — and let visitors ask follow-up questions your printed sign never could.
04
Brewery, winery & food trails
String your stops into a passport crawl. The stamp sheet is the reason people finish the whole trail, not just one taproom.
05
Visitor centers
Hand out one link instead of a wall of brochures. Track which stops and walks visitors actually use.
06
Festivals & districts
Spin up a temporary map for an art walk, a market, or an open-studios weekend — live for the weekend, archived after.

FAQ
Questions from the front desk.
01Do visitors have to download an app?
No. A tour opens in any phone browser from a link, QR code, or NFC tap. There is nothing to install and nothing for you to maintain in an app store.
02How does a stop know a visitor has arrived?
You choose per stop. GPS can trigger it automatically as they get close, or a visitor can tap a sign, scan a printed QR code, or touch an NFC plaque. Many cities mix all four along one route.
03Where do the narration and answers come from?
From the material you upload — your tour script, historic notes, brochures, or a website link. The Studio drafts narration and answers questions using only that content, so nothing is invented. You review and edit everything before it goes live.
04What are the collectible stamps for?
Each stop drops a stamp into a digital passport. A half-full sheet is a gentle push to keep walking — visitors see the whole downtown or finish the whole trail instead of stopping at the first block. You can tie a reward to a completed passport.
05How long does it take to build a tour?
Most teams go from existing material to a published walk in an afternoon. The draft is done in minutes; the time you spend is placing stops on the map and polishing the words.
06Can visitors take the tour in other languages?
Yes. A visitor picks their language with one tap and the whole walk — narration and answers — follows in 40+ languages. You build it once.
