Move beyond the generic 'top 10' lists. Here, we share the scandalous secrets, practical hacks, and self guided audio tour insights you need to reclaim your curiosity and explore the world on your own terms.
Stop being a tourist and start being a storyteller. Our Exploration Guides are designed to help you see the world through a local lens, merging practical navigation with the history that actually matters. We bypass the generic "top 10" lists to bring you the scandalous secrets, architectural quirks, and legends that give a place its soul. Every guide includes a "Guru Secret"… a quirky or bizarre fact that traditional tours usually whisper about or skip entirely. Discover the human side of history with the boring bits removed, all while moving at your own pace
There is a distinct difference between visiting a city and truly experiencing it. This is your toolkit for better travel, tackling the "decision moments" that define a trip. From planning a spontaneous afternoon in a city you’ve never visited to finding the best photography spots without the crowds, we share the practical hacks that elevate your journey. These insights are about building the confidence to wander off the main drag, balance your digital tools with authentic exploration, and ensure that every moment on the ground is as meaningful as possible.
Your phone is the most powerful travel companion you own, and we’re here to show you how to unlock its magic. In this section, we demystify the tech driving MyGuideGuru. From how our AI crafts radically personalised tours to step-by-step masterclasses on our favourite features. Learn how to set up a "KidQuest" to keep the family engaged, download offline maps to avoid roaming charges, or invite a friend to join your tour for free. We show you how to keep the technology in the background so the stories stay front and centre.
MyGuideGuru didn’t start in a boardroom; it started with our 8 month old sleeping through our planned tour of San Sebastian and reinforced by the lack of tours in off-the-beaten-path towns we were visiting in southern Italy. We believe everyone deserves a world-class guide, which is why we’re transparent about our journey. From the "baby in a backpack" origins to the vision driving our global community. Here, we share stories from our founders and blueprints from the travellers who use our app to bend destinations to their will. This is the human side of the Guru, where tech meets the real-world passion for discovery.
