This app is the future. Quality is as good as a This American Life episode, except that, you know, youre actually wandering through places. Detour makes you visits parts of the cities you never went to. The bests Ive done are "Hassidic Williamsburg" (NYC) and the "Illegal Paris" (Paris).

Best app on my phone
Wandering around Austin
The narrator was awesome! However...Was enjoying the stench of the river and ancient death, And all things are going well until I got to the part about Saint Davids Church, and the whole thing went silent on me. I cant find anymore after that! Does it need help? Do I need help? Its silent.
So much fun!!
This app is great. I had a blast going on the Austin, Tx Detour. I strongly recommend it. Ive lived in Austin for 5 years and I did not know this story. Great for a date, go when there is light out for safety
Best Travel Guide Ever!!!
Did Cool Grey City in San Francisco. Loved it, cant wait to do the rest of that bundle. Great Value.
Cultural Rich and Stunning
If you love podcast, exploring new cities with headphones with your favorite tunes playing, and want to see things the majority of locals dont know than you will absolutely love Detour! In SF, I was taken to hide rooftops, secret bank vaults, history museums, and treated to the most amazing views and bites to eat. That is simplifying it to the extreme. The recent improvements have made it even better. I would rate this 9.5/10 if I could! I find myself planning trips to the new, expanded cities just to experience these geoguided tours.
A phenomenal way to explore a city!
I cannot say enough good things about this app. My husband and I were visiting San Francisco and one of our tour guides told us about Detour. We immediately downloaded it and began with the Haight-Ashbury tour. The tours give you information that you wouldnt hear on other tours. The narration is spectacular. Combine that with the music and you feel like Detour has taken you back in time to show you what places really were like. I love how they advise you to get a drink in a bar or ask for a book in a bookshop. These tours feel like little adventures. I will recommend this app to anyone I know coming to SF. I really hope Detour continues to add tours for other cities. I would even love to do it in my own city! I will be looking for them everywhere we go!
Muy Bueno
I ran out of superlatives to heap upon this app so I had to start again in Spanish.
