New York Self-Guided Walking Tours with Audio, New York

Welcome to "The Big Apple" – one the best places to be if you're seeking out new experiences and cool things to do. If you are visiting for the first time, our Lower Manhattan, Midtown Manhattan, and Central Park walking tours will take you to the most essential sights. If you're looking for a classic New York feel, Greenwich Village is an ideal area to explore, with other interesting ethnic neighborhoods including Chinatown and Little Italy. A tour of Brooklyn, the most populous and dynamic borough, is also worth taking even if just once to say you've done it!

In all, we have prepared 14 self-guided walks for you to explore NYC, which cover a plethora of landmarks along with ample eating, shopping, and leisure opportunities. Not only that, but you can also create your own walk with the attractions that interest you most and even set your hotel as the walk's starting point!

How it works: Download the app "GPSmyCity: Walks in 1K+ Cities" from Apple App Store or Google Play Store to your mobile phone or tablet. Each walk comes with a detailed tour map as well as photos and background information for the featured attractions. The app's navigation functions guide you from one attraction to the next. The app works offline, so no data plan is needed when traveling abroad.
