Narrated walking tours

Every street has a story. Press play.

Trove turns the street you're standing on into a guided walk — expert narration, a map that shows you on the route, and the stories the guidebooks skip.

Narration on

How it works

A guide in your ear, the moment you arrive.

No itinerary to plan, no headset to return. Three taps from the street to the story.

Step 01

Arrive

In one of Trove's cities, open it where you're standing. It knows where you are and the sites a short walk away.

Step 02

Press play

Choose a walk and start. The narration begins the moment you do — no reading, just listening.

Step 03

Walk & discover

Follow the route stop to stop, and step inside the places you love for a deeper tour.

Hear it for yourself

Don't take our word for it. Take Trove's.

About half a minute, in the real Trove voice — on the one subject it happens to know best.

A word from Trove

In the real Trove voice · ~0:31

Think of the last time you stood in front of something old and beautiful — a cathedral, a ruin, a quiet little square — and felt there was a story you were missing. Trove is the voice that fills that silence. Open it where you're standing, and the city starts talking: the argument that built this church, the scandal behind that fountain, the small detail you'd have walked straight past. No tour group, no schedule, nothing to return when you're done, just you and the street and a story that unfolds as you walk. This is the part of the trip you'll actually remember. So press play — and let the city tell you the rest.

Inside the app

Everything a great guide does — at your pace.

The experience

Narration timed to where you stand.

Tap into each stop and the narration begins — the history, the detail to look for, the story the plaque leaves out. Written in a warm, expert voice and read clearly in your ear.

A story at every stop, not a list of dates
What to look for — before you look
Tap “go deeper” to step inside the sites you love

The route

The whole walk on one map.

See every stop and the path between them before you set off — then just follow the gold line from one story to the next, at whatever pace suits you.

The walking route drawn between every stop
Save a walk before you head out
Pause, wander, pick up where you left off

The keepsake

Collect the city as you walk it.

Every site you visit is sketched into a collection that's yours to keep — the stops on the walk, and the free interiors along it that you step inside on the way.

A hand-drawn sketch for each place you reach
A growing record of where you've been
Nothing to unlock — the walk and its interiors are free

Where you can walk

Five cities, walked and written by hand.

Rome, Florence, Venice, Prague and Paris are hand-crafted end to end, and Florence has the first museum tour, the Uffizi.

What culture usually costs

Less than the museum's audio guide. Free, in fact.

A great human guide is a joy — and a hundred times the price. Here's how a day of stories really adds up.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do I need to be in the city to use Trove?

Trove is built for walking a city in person — it follows your location from stop to stop. Download a walk before you go and it plays offline as you walk, and you can preview the whole route from home.

Do I need to install an app?

No — Trove runs right in your browser, so there's nothing to download. Open it, save a walk before you head out, and it keeps playing as you move from stop to stop.

What language are the tours in?

English today, with more languages coming.

Which cities are available?

Rome, Florence, Venice, Prague and Paris, each with hand-made walks and tours inside its great sites; Florence also has the first museum tour, the Uffizi. More cities are on the way.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Every walk and every tour is free — no unlock, no trial, no subscription: the walks, the great sites you step inside on the way, and the museum tours, starting with the Uffizi.

Is a real person guiding me?

The narration is crafted in an expert, story-first voice and read clearly in your ear. Behind the scenes it's tailored to exactly where you're standing — quietly, so it never feels like a robot reading facts.

Can I go at my own pace?

Completely. Pause to linger, double back, or break for lunch — the walk waits for you, and remembers where you stopped.
