Tour Like a Local.

For the Visitor

WLKTours® turns every visit into a journey through history — a custom-curated, self-guided experience through historic landmarks, hidden stories, and the people and events that shaped your destination, guided by professional audio and video performers. Tours are developed hand-in-hand with your team — the true experts on the stories only your organization can tell.

For the Historic Site or Museum

Whether you're a historic site or a museum, WLKTours® becomes a member benefit you can point to directly — a curated guide to the landmarks, exhibits, and heritage that define your community. Every tour brings your history to life for visitors, turning foot traffic into real, measurable support for your preservation mission.

16+Years Experience

More than a touring app — a local insider in their pocket.

WLKTours® powered by SmartGuide® is a full-featured, self-guided walking tour app, built by a team of professional tour guides with over 16 years of experience delivering walking tour experiences worldwide.

We build every tour by working directly with your organization — incorporating your member sites, historic landmarks, and the stories that define your community into routes brought to life with audio and video storytelling. Visitors get a dedicated Site Directory, downloaded in seconds from the Apple® and Google® app stores. And we don't disappear after launch: real-time analytics and reporting, on-the-ground marketing support, and live tech support are part of an ongoing relationship, not a one-time handoff. We do the heavy lifting — from the first route to years down the road.

Custom-Curated Tours

Historic walks, brew pub crawls, architecture routes, and more — visitors choose what fits their trip.

Site Directory

A dedicated in-app directory to your member sites — museums, landmarks, historic homes, and anything else you want visitors to discover, always one tap away.

Audio & Video Storytelling

Narrated stories paired with short video presentations bring each stop to life — more than a voice reading facts.

Point of Interest Mapping

Every point of interest is plotted on the map — including landmarks, member sites, local food & beverage, and theatre, sports, and entertainment.

Apple® & Google® Stores

Simple to load native apps available on the Apple® App Store and Google® Play Store.

Tech Support

Our team is available by text, phone, and email — ready to help visitors and staff whenever it's needed.

Marketing Support

Supportive marketing materials to promote the program throughout your district — posters, QR code displays, and multimedia promotional content.

Analytics & Reporting

See which stops visitors actually visit and how long they stay — data your team can use to demonstrate real engagement to members and stakeholders.

Join the Future of Touring.

We build the tours, brand the experience, and provide simple app store downloads — then hand your team a reporting dashboard for clear, quantifiable results. Priced to fit inside your organization's marketing or member-services budget — a one-time setup fee covers route development and branding, followed by a modest annual license fee.
