Explore Freely

Free Self-Guided Tours

Discover the best places to visit at your own pace. Walking tours, hidden gems, and cultural sites – all with GPS-verified digital souvenirs you collect along the way.

How Self-Guided Tours Work

Three simple steps to start exploring

1

Choose a tour or explore freely

Browse curated "Passports" (themed tour collections) or simply open the map to see all available emblems near you. Each passport groups related locations into a cohesive experience.

2

Visit locations and collect emblems

Navigate to each point of interest using the in-app map. When you arrive, your GPS confirms you're there and you can collect the emblem – a unique digital artwork tied to that location.

3

Learn, share, and keep exploring

Each emblem includes cultural and historical context about the location. Share your collection with friends, compare progress, and discover new places to visit.
