Design your perfect day out with MyGuideGuru. Learn how to create your own tour using this smart custom tour app and explore any city on your terms.
We’ve all experienced it! Group tours that move too fast, a tour guide that has better things to do (including nursing a hangover), turning up to the wrong meeting point or at the wrong time, or itineraries that are just boring. That’s why, in our experience, the best travel days often come when you’re in charge. With MyGuideGuru, you can now create your own tour and explore cities on your terms. This blog will walk you through how to use our custom tour app to design a personalised adventure and how to make every moment yours.
To get started, download the MyGuideGuru app from the App Store or Google Play. Once you're in, choose any city you’d like to explore across Europe, Australia, and beyond. It’s as easy as that. Using the power of AI, we can curate a walking tour specifically designed for you. That is within reason of course, there will need to be some history and stories to share in the destination you choose.
Every traveller is different. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, a family on the go, or someone who loves a bit of drama, MyGuideGuru offers four unique tour types to match your interests:
We are expanding! Soon we hope to allow you to choose your exact interests – we’d love to hear from you if this would add to your travel experience. But for now, go ahead and choose the tour type that aligns with your travel vibe.
While everyone has a pair of legs, a bike might allow you to travel a bit further afield and see more attractions. Choose between walking and a bike to get a tour that will cover an appropriate distance for your mode of transport and give directions to match. While technically not feasible right now, we hope to add wheelchair and pram soon!
With just those three inputs, a tour will be created especially for you with the selected preferences in mind. You can view the proposed itinerary for free! If you love it, purchase and download the tour ahead of time so that you have access the tour so next time you travel. Better still, sign up to a subscription to get access to unlimited tours and our “Ask Guru”.
It’s time to hit the streets your way. With GPS-enabled directions and immersive audio narration, MyGuideGuru guides you from one location to the next without needing to follow a group or stick to a fixed time slot.
One of the best features of MyGuideGuru is flexibility. Pause to snap a photo, stop for coffee, or skip a stop... it's entirely up to you! The app is built to let you explore at your own pace, whether it’s fast-paced sightseeing or a lazy afternoon wander. If you get sidetracked (we all do), the tour is saved in your account and can be resumed at any point.

Using MyGuideGuru means you’re never locked into someone else’s version of a “perfect day out.” You can start your tour in the morning, take a break for lunch, and pick it up again in the afternoon. Or you might just decide to do it all in reverse.
This is the true advantage of using a custom tour app: it allows you to follow a thoughtfully curated route while still shaping the experience around what you want. Every step feels natural, not rushed.
Ready to turn your city daydream into a flexible, fun reality? With MyGuideGuru, you're always in control. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with the family, you can create your own tour experience that matches your style, pace, and interests.
