Uncover the charm of St Albans with GuideZap! Just 20 minutes from London, explore the Abbey Cathedral, Roman heritage, medieval alleys, and lively markets.
This app offers an insightful travel experience, allowing you to explore familiar destinations at your own pace and with complete flexibility. You won’t be tied to a crowded tour group or strict schedules. Instead, our user-friendly self-guided audio app acts as your personal tour guide, delivering high-quality information about various locations right in the palm of your hand.
Our GPS-guided tours and trails provide in-depth insights into the history, architecture, culture, languages, local cuisine, and more. You'll also discover the best markets, museums, restaurants, cafes bars and pubs, entertainment and nightlife options, and iconic landmarks! The tours automatically guide you using GPS technology, and once downloaded, they function offline—no more worrying about data roaming fees.
Tailored for various modes of transport, many tours are designed for walking, offering a culturally rich experience. Enjoy fantastic value and savings with our informative self-guided audio walking tours in St. Albans, just 20 minutes from London. With over 40 years of destination research and guiding experience, we intimately know the areas we cover—no AI involved. We are also expanding our offerings regionally and internationally.
Each tour features multiple waypoints (or 'Zaps'). As you approach each point of interest, audio commentary plays automatically, although you can opt to read the transcript and follow the tour manually if you prefer. Some tours are best followed in a specific order, while others allow you to start at any waypoint.
The audio and written commentary is rich in educational content, easy to understand, and always provides clear directions for navigating from one point of interest to the next. Storytelling is enhanced with sound effects and music to make your experience more engaging.
Most tours are designed for outdoor exploration on foot, but some include highlights of indoor attractions, such as cathedrals, castles, or museums, either as standalone experiences or integrated within outdoor itineraries. Each tour summary includes important information about wheelchair accessibility, length, difficulty, and estimated completion time.
Users enjoy the flexibility to go at their own pace, stopping for meals or shopping as desired, and can easily resume their tour later. With the option to pause and restart whenever you like, our app is available 24/7 year-round.
Once you download a tour, it works offline, and you can revisit it anytime on the device where it was downloaded—no additional costs involved. User-friendly features allow you to use your device as usual. You can switch between map views, share your location, and see your position represented by a blue dot that moves with you. If you stray off course, the app will alert you. Tours are conveniently stored in your built-in library, enabling you to use them repeatedly and become an expert guide over time.
Everyone benefits from our in-app bundle packages, offering added value through special deals with our partners. Enjoy a single tour purchase for the whole family!
