Fieldnote: Audio Walking Tours

Walk the thread of the stories under your feet.

Fieldnote is a voice-led audio guide for self-guided walking tours. Open the app anywhere — a back street near home, an airport layover, a city you've never read about — and a walking tour starts telling itself. Narrated by Iris, who's curious and specific: she'll point at a windowsill rather than reciting a date, and knows when to talk and when to let the street do the talking.

3000+ walking tours. 700+ destinations. 140+ countries. Growing every week.

HOW IT WORKS

• Tap a destination near you, or further afield.
• Iris reads the ground and shapes a tour for where you're standing.
• Walk. Listen. GPS keeps the audio in step with your feet — no map-reading, no fiddly route to follow.
• Finish, and a stamp lands in your passport.

Tours stream as you walk and keep playing offline if your signal drops mid-walk. Headphones recommended; not required.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Self-guided audio tours across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
• City walks, neighbourhood deep-dives, themed routes — architecture, history, food, literature, gardens, ghosts.
• Three free walking tours every month, for everyone.
• A passport that collects a stamp for every walk you finish.
• Tours in 30, 60, and 90-minute formats — fit a walk to your morning, your lunch break, or your afternoon.

ABOUT IRIS

Iris is Fieldnote's original AI narrator. She's curious, specific, warm — and never lectures. Every tour is researched from public sources (Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, local archives), shaped by Iris's editorial voice, and reviewed before it ships.

GOOD TO KNOW

Fieldnote uses your location to surface tours near you and keep audio in step with your feet. Audio plays in the background and works with headphones, AirPods, car speakers, or your phone speaker. Fieldnote+ tours can be downloaded for airplane mode or off-grid travel.

Walk somewhere. A tour will tell itself.

SOME PURCHASES REQUIRED

Fieldnote is free to start with 3 standard tours per month and ads. Fieldnote+ is an optional in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited standard tours, Fieldnote Passages, offline downloads, longer walks, and ad-free listening. Bespoke tour tickets and Trip Passes are separate in-app purchases.
