Same city, different pace: no group, no obligatory tip — just a guide in your pocket.

Citypik

An alternative to free tours

Free tours are great for a first contact with a city. But if you prefer to go at your own pace — stop when you want, skip what you already know, or explore off the usual circuit — there is another way to discover the place.

What free tours give (and limit)

There is usually a guide, a fixed route and a group. It is social and practical… and it also means schedules, someone else’s pace and, in practice, a tip at the end. That is not “bad” — it just does not always match how you like to travel.

A free tour gathers people, sets the pace and shares one route.

Explore without a fixed group

With Citypik you choose the façade. Point the camera, identify the building and play a short audio about its story. No meeting point, no closed list of stops, no waiting for the group.

Truly free in daily use

Citypik includes free scans every day. Use it alongside a free tour to complement the guide… or solo when you prefer quiet, a partner, or a spontaneous plan.

It does not replace a great human guide in every case: it is a flexible alternative when you want architectural context on the spot, wherever you are.
