CityCompanion is free (most of those apps charge per city). It's AI-personalised — routes adapt to your interests, pace, and the weather, rather than serving the same fixed playlist to every visitor. And it has the daily concierge briefing, which no other tour app offers.

Yes. Maps and saved tours are cached for offline use. Audio narrations can be downloaded ahead of time so you can walk without data.

If you opt in during onboarding (or in settings), CityCompanion generates a 1–5 minute personalised audio briefing each morning at the time you choose. It greets you by name, covers today's weather and a practical tip, mentions a local food signature, and previews your day.

The briefing still works — it'll greet you, cover your local weather, and (if you have an upcoming trip) mention what's ahead. The full curated tour experience is limited to the 9 supported cities.

Yes. Routes can be filtered for wheelchair-accessible, step-free, stroller-friendly, or reduced-mobility paths. POIs are tagged accordingly.

We use your interests and tour history to personalise your future tours. We don't sell or share your data. You can delete your account at any time.
