Quick answer
What does G20X cost? Every standard guide is free, in full, with no signup and no card — not a 60-second sample, the whole thing. What costs money is depth: a deep dive is $3.99, a multi-stop city walk $4.99, and a city pack $9.99. If you travel often, membership is $4.99, $9.99 or $19.99 a month (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and includes ad-free offline listening plus cashback on travel bookings.

eSIM bundle
Buy the data you were going to buy anyway through our partner and the three-guide starter pack for that city comes free.
Refer a friend
They get 5 XC on their first top-up, you get 2 XC plus 10% of what they load for a year. Both sides, every time.

Three promises we put in writing
Hear it before you pay
Every standard guide is free, in full, forever, with no signup and no card. You are judging the whole thing, not a teaser — which is the only fair way to judge writing.
Wrong fact, full refund
If a guide states something that is not true, or the audio is broken, we refund it and fix the script. The correction goes on the page with a note — we do not quietly rewrite history.
Nothing locks you in
Cancel membership any time and keep every guide you bought outright, downloadable. X-Credits never expire. No annual contract, no cancellation maze.
Get early access — and the launch price
We are opening paid guides, packs and membership to a first group of travellers. Leave an email and you get the launch price locked for twelve months, plus five free guides on the day we switch payments on. No spam, one email when it matters.
We store your email to notify you at launch and nothing else. Unsubscribe in one click.
Fair objections, answered
Buying from a company you have not heard of
No reviews yet, and we will not invent any. Judge us on what you can check:
Listen to a whole tour, free
Four complete San Francisco tours, start to finish, no account. If the writing is thin you will know in four minutes.
Play the Golden Gate tour →Check our sources
Every guide lists where its facts come from — official sites, park services, museum archives, public records. Follow them and see if we read them right.
See how a guide is made →Read the transcript first
Full text sits on every guide page. You can read the whole thing instead of listening on hearing it.
Open any destination →Pricing questions
Can I use G20X entirely for free?
Why is there a price at all if the narration is AI?
What happens to guides I bought if I cancel membership?
Do X-Credits expire?
Which currencies and payment methods?
Is there a refund policy?
Listening costs nothing
Every standard guide plays end to end. Judge the writing before you spend a dollar.
