As a smart city walk tour app, Popup Guides runs quietly in the background and notifies you the moment you’re near something worth knowing about. No routes. No planning. Just walk.
How our city walk tour app works
Three steps.
Then just walk.
Unlike other apps, we don’t ask for your attention. We only speak up when you’re actually nearby something interesting.
01
Download & open
Install the app, choose your city, and start the guide. No account, no setup, no tour to follow. That’s it.
02
Put your phone away
Popup Guides runs quietly in the background while you explore freely. Walk wherever curiosity takes you.
03
Get notified when it matters
Within 400 meters of a hidden gem or historic site, you get a notification with instant info and navigation. No searching required.
Why Popup Guides?
Different by design.
No fixed routes
Other apps put you on a leash. We let you wander. The city adapts to you, not the other way around.
Background mode
Runs quietly without draining your battery or demanding your screen. Enjoy the city, not the app.
Wikipedia-powered info
Instant, reliable context about every landmark — right when you need it, delivered in seconds.
