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 route that knows where you are, and the stories the guidebooks skip.
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.
Arrive
Open Trove where you're standing. It knows the city you're in and the sites a short walk away.
Press play
Choose a walk and start. The narration begins the moment you do — no reading, just listening.
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.
Forty seconds, in the real Trove voice — on the one subject it happens to know best.
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 hand back — just you, the street, and a story timed to your steps. 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.
Narration timed to where you stand.

Made for you
Tell it what you love. It builds the walk.
Every Trove route is shaped around the things you actually came to see — quietly, behind the scenes. Choose what moves you and watch the walk change.

What culture usually costs
Less than the museum's audio guide. Yours to keep.
A great human guide is a joy — and a hundred times the price. Here's how a day of stories really adds up.
Individual museums and sites are €2.99 each (quick sites €0.99) — for less than a museum charges for its audio handset.
