Love free walking tours but not the tip pressure, fixed schedules, and group dynamics? Zigway gives you self-guided tours that start when you want, wherever you are.
GuruWalk connects you with local guides for tip-based group walking tours, while Zigway is a self-guided app with AI-powered narration. With GuruWalk, you meet a group at a set time and place and follow the guide's route. With Zigway, you start whenever you want, from wherever you are, and the AI delivers personalised stories about everything around you — giving you the same depth of storytelling with complete freedom to explore the city at your own rhythm.
GuruWalk is a platform connecting travelers with local guides who lead free (tip-based) walking tours. You book a time slot, meet at a designated point, walk with a group, and tip the guide at the end based on your experience.
