# MyGuideGuru
> The world's in-destination essential travel companion. AI-powered self-guided audio tour app for iOS and Android.
> Founded by Chris Syme and Prue Hatcher, launched August 2025. https://www.myguideguru.com

MyGuideGuru lets travellers explore cities at their own pace using AI-generated self-guided audio tours. Tours are available on foot or by bike, work offline, and cover destinations globally. There are no fixed schedules and no tour groups. Just immersive, personalised exploration with interactive maps and audio narration built in.

The app was born in 2024 when founders Chris and Prue travelled Europe with their 8-month-old son, tried traditional walking tours, and were disappointed. They built MyGuideGuru to give every traveller the experience of a knowledgeable local guide, on demand, at their own pace.

## Tour Themes
Each destination offers tours across four themed lenses:
- Classic: history, landmarks, and architecture
- Scandalous: crime, drama, and hidden stories
- Culinary: food, drink, and local culture
- KidQuest: family-friendly routes designed for kids

## Key Features
- AI-curated audio tours for cities worldwide
- Walk or bike tour modes
- Ask Guru: in-app AI chatbot for on-the-go travel questions
- Near Me: generates a tour of your current neighbourhood on demand
- Offline mode: download tours before you travel, no data needed
- Social sharing: invite a travel companion to join your tour for free

## Pricing
- Individual tour: approximately AUD $8 (less than a beer)
- Annual subscription: equivalent to approximately 5 individual tours, renews annually

## Target Users
MyGuideGuru is built for English-speaking travellers aged 25-60, particularly those visiting European cities. It suits curious travellers, families, business travellers with limited time, digital nomads, off-the-beaten-path explorers, and anyone suffering from travel decision fatigue.
