A local voice in your ear, everywhere you walk
Press play at the gate and keep walking. Four to six minutes per place, written like a story and checked like a reference book — with a free preview on every single guide.
Quick answer
What is a G20X audio tour? A short narrated walk through one place. Each guide is split into 45–60 second chapters so you can look up between them, and each chapter ends with something to do where you are standing. Standard guides run 4–6 minutes and are free in full — not a sample, the whole guide.
Four formats, one catalog
Pick the depth that fits the day.
Transcript · always on the page
Every guide is written out in full, with its sources listed underneath. Read it instead of listening, or check what a claim rests on before you believe it.
Standard guide · free
Four to six minutes, three to six chapters. The history, the argument, the detail the plaque leaves out, and one thing to do before you move on.
Deep dive · $3.99
Ten to fifteen minutes for the places that deserve it: Alcatraz, the Golden Gate, a museum wing you could spend a morning in.
City walk · $4.99
Six to ten stops stitched into one route with walking directions between them. One press of play covers an afternoon.

How a guide gets made
We start from a place file — coordinates, official sources, and the angle that makes this place worth four minutes. A writer drafts, a fact gate flags every claim that has no citation, and a human reviewer signs it off before a single word is recorded.
The recording is then transcribed back and compared with the script. If the narration drifted, mispronounced a name or clipped an ending, the file is rejected and re-run automatically. It is a boring process, and that is the point.
Seven gates, every guide
- Collect: coordinates, official sources, story angle
- Draft: one surprising fact per chapter
- Fact gate: no citation, no claim
- Human review: sign-off before recording
- Record: house narrator, fixed pace
- Verify: transcribe back, compare word by word
- Publish: page, transcript, sources, sitemap

- You have two days in a city and no time to research
- You like knowing where a fact came from
Probably not for you if…
- You want a live human guide to ask questions to

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.
No reviews yet — here is the evidence instead
No reviews yet, and we will not invent any. Judge us on what you can check:
