GPS walking tours
At outdoor sites, the interactive map shows every stop and your position in real time. When you get close to a point of interest, your phone vibrates and Stanza shows you what is nearby, so you can look up from the screen and enjoy the walk while the audio plays.

Museum guide with artwork scanner
In supported museums, point your camera at an artwork to recognise it and hear its story.

Offline audio and maps
Download tours and maps before you travel and listen without Wi-Fi or mobile data – no roaming charges on sightseeing days.

Narrated in your language
Every tour is real audio, not just text on a screen. Choose the language you want to listen in.
