I tried out the New York City Guide and I found it to be an awesome and informative app.
To give you an idea what you will receive, here are a few screen shots for my NYC guide:
Santa Fe, NM
I choose Venice! Venice is a maze of canals and ancient sites to explore by foot and boat. Most say that you “must get lost in Venice” to know her best. Probably very true, but, it would also be good to have walking tours of all the different amazing neighborhoods to explore too. My partner and I have been blessed to spend a brief cruise stop in Venice. We fell in love. And, we’re actually thinking of planning a trip just to Venice for an extended stay to get to know her better. A program like the GPSMY City App would be a terrific asset for a visit to Venice or any other city too!
I chose Barcelona! Can’t wait to be there with my daughter in August! I have never been so have been trying to plan what will be the best way to se everything within a few days! App looks easy to use and a great idea!
LOVE Barcelona! I think these walking tours will be great for your visit there. Thanks for inspiring us!
Dublin is my choice! I would love to check out my ancestral home. Thank you for sharing this cool app! Can’t wait to use it for my current home city to discover hidden treasures in Seattle, and for the cities on my list to visit.
What a great choice Donna! The Seattle walks are really great as well.
I will choose London. We are planning to go in the Spring. It will be Dave’s first trip to Europe! What a great app!
I am excited for you Kiva! London (as well as Europe are amazing!)
My sister and I are taking our mom to NYC in December. It’s been a few years since I was in NYC and being Christmas time this App would be great for us. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Leisa – I know this app works great in NYC, there are many walks to choose from!
I would choose Washington DC. I’m going there later this summer and again in the fall. While we go to there to visit family I always like to steal time away to see something there, and a walking tour of different parts of the city would be perfect!

Can the information be assessed if wifi is turned off?
DC sounds like a great place to visit. I have not been in years.
Sounds like such a fun way to explore a new city! I would choose our next destination, Porto, Portugal!
Irene: Portugal is on my short list! It sounds amazing.
We will be in San Jose del Cabo in October! Hope to get a free app and test it!
I hope you win too Carol!
The walking tours of Boston offer a great selection, and would be a fun way to have a little weekend staycation in my home town. Hope I get selected!
Sounds like a great plan Alison! I hope you get chosen too!
I choose Girona, Spain, because I’ll be there this summer and know next to nothing about it!
Thanks Rachel – I hope that is one of the cities they offer!
This is completely AWESOME! Thanks!
