Features & Capabilities

Gesso is a new way to explore cities with audio that plays based on your location. Here, you'll find audio experiences anywhere from an immersive moving play to countercultural audio tours that invite you to feel the pulse of the city. As a creator and publisher of site-specific audio content, we celebrate 'place' and the people who shaped it in New York, San Francisco, Florence, Venice, Rome and London.

Named after the primer layer artists apply to a canvas before they tell their stories, Gesso (sounds like: JEH-so) makes next-gen audio guides that go under the surface of a city and through the halls of the most forward-thinking museums.

User Reviews

Users love Gesso for GPS-synced, easy-to-follow guided walks across NYC, paired with immersive narration and historical tidbits. The app supports flexible pacing, letting you linger, pause, or resume without hassle, and its simple interface enhances exploration rather than distracts. The NYC tours are well-liked, with many wanting more content in other cities. Minor requests include clearer start-point directions and avoiding external map prompts.

I was looking for a last-minute guided walking tour in New York City today but couldn’t find one. I decided to search for an audio tour instead. I came across Gesso and did the Greenwich Village tour. It was fantastic! I will definitely use Gesso again.

Simple but well made app. I appreciated how it synchronizes the content to your location. The NYC SoHo tour was excellent, easy to follow, interesting, and informative.
