CITIES TALKING is a new way to discover your
favourite cities … for less. Showcasing the best of Europe’s city culture,
Cities Talking – which has been dubbed the “anti-tour guide” – has been
designed to offer a solution to expensive, uninformative city tours, with the
help of some famous voices.
Free to download, the app allows you to explore
cities on your own schedule. Instead of regurgitating the same mundane facts on
which many tour guides rely, the app uses an interactive GPS which targets your
location and provides compelling facts designed to inspire, educate, amuse and
entertain – whether it’s Christopher Biggins guiding you around the streets of
London or comedian Gordon Kelly taking you on a tour of medieval Edinburgh.
Says Julie-Anne Uggla, founder of Cities Talking: ‘In
Venice, we paid a premium for an excruciating tour of the city – it was so busy
we couldn’t hear the tour guide speak, what we did hear was completely
uninspiring and we couldn’t even stop for a water break in the baking heat. At
that point, I thought surely there’s a cheaper, more exciting way to explore a
city than this, which is when Cities
Talking was born!”.
