Your audio guide to any landmark. Listen and explore any place in-depth with stories, secrets, history, art, and fun facts, in short, snackable audio nuggets.
Most audio guides are limited to only a few areas. Instant Guide is worldwide with over 11,000 landmarks with audio tours, each hand-curated so only the most interesting and historically rich places appear. Content is organized into categories: Stories, Secrets & Surprises, History, Art & Design, and Fun Facts, with unlockable hidden nuggets in each category so you discover what guidebooks never tell you. Full tours run up to one hour of rich context per place. Tap a landmark on the map or search by city or place, and get a tour that goes far beyond the usual surface-level summary.
HOW IT WORKS
• Explore — See nearby landmarks on the map or in a list. Search by city or place name anywhere in the world.
• Preview free — Tap a place and start the tour. The introduction audio is always free so you can try the depth and style before unlocking.
• Unlock with credits — Use credits to unlock the full tour (all categories).
• Read along — Follow the tour text on screen as you listen, or enjoy audio-only.
• Listen anywhere — Download for offline use. Play in the background or start and stop from your phone's lock screen. Ideal for travel, museums, and walking.
• Your language — Choose from English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Hindi, or Arabic. Full audio tours are in the language you select.
