Use your smartphone and headphones to follow an English GPS audio tour from El Adivinador through Alicante’s promenade, old town, market, museums, and historic squares. Pause for coffee, replay details, and explore at your own pace. Museum entry is not included.
“I booked this after being let down by a couple of guided tours that I’d booked through Viator being cancelled at the last minute. I didn’t have high expectations, as it was only a few euros, but it was exceptionally good. The directions were really accurate and easy to follow, the narrator obviously knew and loved Alicante and communicated his enthusiasm, and the pace of the walk really suited me. I have restricted walking ability, but there were frequent pauses for explanation of what I was looking at, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.”

“Great self walking tour! We learned so much! Definitely worth the price and experience. You get to walk through the most of the city and learn a lot on the way. Just fyi, it doesn’t end where you start.”
Follow John’s clear English narration through Sitges, from Pic Nic beach bar and the Bacardi Monument to St Bartholomew Church, Palau de Maricel, and Cap de la Vila. The 45-minute route works offline, lets you pause at museums, and includes a few hills.

“I completed this self-guided walking tour while on a weekend trip to Cadiz. It succeeded in getting me out and about while waiting to check-in, but I’m pretty sure it’s narrated by AI. This was fine, but I would’ve preferred a real human and more in-depth descriptions”
