Untourist Untourist Audio walking tours NYC
Untourist lets you listen as you walk through New York City neighborhoods, with curated routes, offline-ready audio, and enough guidance to keep the experience calm and flexible.
Limited tours are available right now. This TestFlight is focused on in-field usability testing so we can make the on-the-ground walking experience as good as possible. NYC residents and visitors are the best fit while tours are limited to New York City.
Hear a sample
The first Untourist audio walk moves through Grand Army Plaza, Olmsted and Vaux's arches, Long Meadow, the Picnic House, and Prospect Park's pastoral calm.
Why audio
Hear context near the place it belongs, instead of reading a generic neighborhood guide ahead of time.
Untourist pairs narration with a walkable path, so you know where to go without joining a group tour.
You can stop for a view, a coffee, a bench, or a detour and continue when you are ready.
How it works
Untourist is designed for locals rediscovering New York and travelers who want local experiences without a rigid group tour.
Start with a neighborhood route built around local stories and a realistic walking time.
Prepare before you leave so the route can keep working when mobile signal is uneven.
Follow the map, hear the story, and move through the city at your own pace.
Field notes
These Prospect Park notes support the first live audio route without overextending into tours that are still in progress.
