You are not in Sydney
The guide speaks when the GPS brings you to a place, so here it would stay silent. Let it drive the route for you instead: in a minute you will hear how it tells you which way to look.

Start the tour first, then pick a route. The guide needs a moment to work out which way you are heading — the status line at the top shows it. Three ways to go:
1. On this page, no app
Pick a route and it is drawn on this map. Keep the page open, follow the dotted line on foot or by car, and the guide tells the story of every place you reach. The port route is a short walk from the cruise terminal through The Rocks.
2. In the app, your own way
Install the app, put the phone in your pocket and go wherever you like, on foot or by car. The guide speaks about every place you reach, and between places the podcast plays. No route needed.
Bought a guide already? Copy the access link from our email, open the app, tap the box on its first screen — the link drops in by itself if it is on the clipboard — and press LINK IT. The key stays with the app after that.
Install the app, then tap one of the prepared routes below: it opens in Google Maps. Follow Google’s turn-by-turn directions on foot or by car while the guide keeps talking about the places along the way and the podcast fills the gaps between them. Mute Google’s voice when it starts. No other audio guide can do this: Google’s navigation is far better than anything built into a tour app.
✅ Before you start
Allow GPS access in your browser. When you press Start Audio Tour, the browser will ask for location permission — tap Allow. Without GPS the tour cannot trigger commentary as you move.
Set your screen to never sleep.iPhone: Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock → Never. Android: Settings → Display → Screen timeout → longest option. Not needed in the app.
Plug into a car charger — GPS and audio drain battery fast.
Connect to car Bluetooth or AUX so all passengers hear the commentary.
📍 During the tour
Press Start Audio Tour — the interest categories menu opens.
Tick the categories you want (Historical, Nature, Shopping, Wildlife, Photo) and press Done.
Pick a route: DOWNLOAD ROUTE under the map opens the routes (described above). Follow the dotted line, or go your own way: the guide tells the story of every place you reach.
GUIDE and PODCAST are on by default (lit). PODCAST off — only the stories of the places play. GUIDE off — nothing plays by itself: tap ▶ Listen on a card. Podcast only, with the phone locked: start the tour and turn GUIDE off — the podcast plays on and does not break off when the screen goes dark; SEL. PODCAST picks the topic.
SORT BY DISTANCE / SORT BY NUMBER (under the map) is the order of the list of places: the nearest first, re-sorted as you move, or the order of the tour. Tap to switch.
⚪ Grey places on the map you have already heard, even yesterday or in another language, and the guide does not repeat them. The red R (top left, next to ☽) starts again: every place once more, in every language on this phone, and the route leaves the map.
🗺️ Map: the compass switches North up / Heading up; two fingers rotate, tilt and zoom; on a computer hold Ctrl and drag, zoom with + / −. A pin or a card brings that place up; ☽ is day / night.
By hand: tap a pin, or ▶ Listen on a card.
Other guides nearby: the label in the bottom left corner of the map (“Also here — the guide…”, “Continues in the guide…”) takes you to the neighbouring guide. If you drag the map far, where this guide does not work, there is no map there: zoom out and pick the guide in that direction, or choose one from All guides.
🎧 Player buttons

Previous place. A story that was cut goes on from where it stopped; one heard to the end starts again from the beginning. The story that was playing waits and goes on afterwards. Each further tap goes one more place back.
Paragraph back / forward: hear the last paragraph again or skip this one. In the podcast they move between parts the same way.
Play / pause.
Lock. Open — as usual, a new place can cut in. Tap it — the lock closes and lights up: the story plays to its end and new places wait. With the next story it opens again.
🔊Volume.
✕Close the story: the place will not start by itself again, only with ▶ Listen on its card — from where you closed it. On the podcast, ✕ switches the podcast off.
ℹ️ Good to know
📶 Mobile data is required: without a connection the guide does not work.
📱 With the screen off, in your pocket, the guide works only in the app. In the browser, keep the page open.
🔑 Your link works on one device at a time: open it on another phone and the guide moves there.
🚘 Over Bluetooth the steering-wheel button pauses the guide and starts it again. With Android Auto on a cable, pause in the player on the car’s screen.
🎧 SEL. PODCAST opens the contents of the podcast: tap a topic and the podcast starts there. Between places the podcast plays by itself; the story of a place always interrupts it.
