Turn Curiosity into Discovery

Exploring a new city is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between guidebooks, blogs and endless online lists, it is easy to miss what truly makes a place special. That is where MyGuideGuru steps in. The app turns your curiosity into discovery, helping you uncover stories, sights and surprises that bring each destination to life.

Search Anywhere, Explore Everywhere

Once you have downloaded MyGuideGuru, the world is yours to explore. Search for entire cities, small towns or even neighbourhoods within a city. It is perfect if you want to focus on a particular pocket of culture, like taking a Scandalous tour in Montmartre, home of the Moulin Rouge, or a Culinary tour in Trastevere, Rome, where locals gather for long, laughter-filled meals.

If you are after something spontaneous, simply tap ‘Near Me’ for a tour right on your doorstep. You might be surprised by what history hides around the corner.

We always encourage users to explore smaller towns and cities too. It is a wonderful way to support local communities while getting off the beaten path and avoiding the crowds. Older, more populated areas tend to have richer stories, but even the smallest destinations have tales worth hearing.

Select a Theme That Speaks to You

MyGuideGuru currently offers four tour themes, each designed for a different kind of traveller. Classic dives into the history that shaped the city. Scandalous uncovers the juicy, darker stories often left out of guidebooks. Culinary lets you taste your way through the best local food while discovering the history behind it. KidQuest brings history to life for families and curious young explorers.

Each tour weaves a narrative around the events and people that defined the area, helping you connect the dots and remember what makes each stop meaningful.

Choose Your Perfect Pace

Whether you prefer a gentle stroll or a breezy cycle, MyGuideGuru adjusts to how you like to travel. Most walking tours are under four kilometres, ideal for taking in every detail without rushing. Bike tours stretch a little further, up to eight kilometres, giving you more ground to cover while keeping things fun and manageable.

If you are in a major city, try exploring it through multiple themed tours. You will see different sides of the same place and discover how each neighbourhood tells its own story.

Leave the Planning to Us

We do the legwork so you can enjoy the adventure. Every tour includes at least five curated stops, carefully ordered to make the most sense geographically and thematically. If landmarks are too far apart or a city is not particularly suited to cycling, the app may not return a tour option. If that happens, we would love to hear from you, your feedback helps us keep improving and expanding our coverage.

Share Your Journey

We are just getting started, and there is plenty more to come. From greater personalisation to new transport modes, we are constantly evolving. Your feedback helps us make MyGuideGuru even better for travellers like you who want more than just a map, but a meaningful way to explore.

Discover Your World, Your Way

Whether you are exploring your own backyard or wandering far from home, MyGuideGuru helps you uncover the stories, history and culture that make every place unique. Download the app today on the App Store and Google Play and start your next self-guided adventure, one story at a time.
