Gesso: Audio Tours

Simple but well made app. I appreciated how it synchronizes the content to your location. The NYC SoHo tour was excellent, easy to follow, interesting, and informative.

Helps know about the environment around

If you don’t want to join a traditional walking tour but still learn more about the place you’re visiting, this app is perfect for you. The walks are easy to follow and very detailed.. super interesting and informative. Fantastic!

Ive lived in NYC 22 years and have never enjoyed a walk in prospect park like I did today. Great sound design, and historical facts. Looking forward to my next walk!

The app succeeds doing the 2 things it needs to do - First, it easily and correctly guides you, while providing clear walking instructions and seamless auto play. The app “gets out of the way” and allows you to simply follow the route and listen to the tour. Second, the tours themselves are great. I’ve done a couple around the New York area and they have a great balance of theme, random tidbits, landmarks, etc and are super fun. Can’t wait for more of these high quality tours to drop!

I’ve taken two NYC tours — Soho and the East Village — and they were wondrous and riveting. This is an exciting new way to take an audio tour.

Really enjoyed taking some of these tours which provide meditative and creative content for curious minds.

I am a New Yorker for 7 years.

I was looking for a geo-tagged guided audio tour of Brooklyn and was thrilled to find this app. Walking directions were clear and the tour seamlessly synced to my location, so that if I wanted to linger in certain areas it would automatically wait for me to catch up before continuing. Tour itself was compelling and made me want to continue exploring! Excited to see more.

Love to do the audio tours with Gesso. Just finished the Williamsburg walk and learned a lot about the area.
