Audio walks for Australia's historic towns

Historical Walking Tour Apps for Australia

Skip the fixed tour time and the tour guide’s umbrella. A self-guided historical walking tour app lets you explore a town’s history at your own pace: start when you like, pause for a coffee, and listen to the stories behind the streets as you walk.

How a walking tour app works

Stories play as you arrive
Each stop’s story starts when you reach it, with directions to the next.

Save walks offline
Save a walk’s audio to your phone before you go and listen where the signal drops.

Sourced, not made up
Every stop comes from a heritage register or another public source, linked on the page.

What makes a good one

The best historical walking tour apps share a few things: genuine offline mode so you’re not stranded without signal, clear audio you can follow while walking, sensibly-lengthed routes, and accessibility info so you know the terrain before you start.
