Our app provides insider tips that you won’t find in guidebooks. We teach you about a place’s culture, and ensure you uncover all of a city’s hidden gems – from a grandma running a restaurant out of her house, to a hidden speakeasy bar, to street art that helped inspire a revolution.
Experience where chefs eat, where bartenders drink, and where baristas meet for coffee. Learn about a city’s iconic sites, wander around the coolest neighborhoods, and find vantage points only photographers know about.
Our app works completely offline and has engaging podcast-style audio guides from locals in many of our cities.
There are fascinating stories all around us. We just have to know where to look.

Highly Recommended!!
Joe’s Dilemma
I was in Oslo by myself for one whole week and this app was EVERYTHING to me! Get this app if you love traveling and ABSOLUTELY get this app if you’re a solo traveler ?
Do not upgrade you loose connection to the app

I upgraded and it does not recognize my phone. I was asked to purchase the app again. Beware!
Not working

I used Loungebuddy to download a free map and when I signed up later the map was gone and they wanted 4.99 to get it again. Not user friendly.
Nothing unique !

Very disappointed to pay for this app and find absolutely nothing that isn’t available for free in all the tourist info for New Orleans.
A Must Have!

TripScout is the perfect app for a vacation OR a quick weekend getaway. Even a business trip that you can sneak a few hours in to explore! Their map is amazing and gives you an instant sense of your surroundings. I love knowing if there are any nearby places to see or eat too! I can’t believe I ever traveled without it!
Total scam and trash. Waste of your time

It looks like it’s a free app, but once installed you can’t see anything until you pay $9.99 and you can’t see what you are actually buying. I’m uninstalling this useless app. So disappointing.
Bait and switch audio tour

UPDATE Jun 14th: Thank you to Tripscout for your response. I appreciate hearing you are working on making it easier to communicate. For point #1: I wish I could upload screenshots to show that even today I still see listed at your web page for the Krakow tour that an audio tour is a benefit so I am keeping my rating the same. For point #2: it is great to be reminded that my credit card is safe. ORIGINAL REVIEW I am looking for an audio tour of Krakow and found TripScout lists one at their website in their web page for Krakow. I was directed to download the app, and was excited see positive reviews. But after downloading the app, then paying for the Krakow tour, the app says there is no audio guide for Krakow. There is no contact info anywhere to directly reach TripScout, so I am left to ask here: why do you list an audio guide, take my money, then tell me there is no such guide? It now worry that I have been scammed and will have to monitor my credit card transactions. I did not want to write this, but I see no other way to 1) try and reach TripScout; and 2) warn others. I will update my review if I hear back from them. In the meantime I am out $$, and still in need of an audio guide.
Started great but glitches and won’t download audio

The app started out great but after purchasing the London package, I found that the map view (supposedly available to view without cell data) flickered in and out when trying to view individual sites. Then I found that the audio guides to each site stopped working. I could listen again to descriptions I’d already listened to. But no new ones could be listened to. Even when I returned to WiFi these remained unavailable. I’d seriously consider holding off until these glitches are corrected.
Disappointing

I loved the idea of this app!! Purchased the Washington DC City info. Not sure if it was just the area we were in but we did not find it useful at all. We ended up using google and yelp to find the things we needed! It was definitely not worth the price for the city info. Maybe after more people add to the content but just not helpful right now!
Best tool for traveling

This app is incredibly useful when planning a trip and even more useful when traveling. Recently used it on a trip to Japan and loved it! We discovered so many cool things while using TripScout in Kyoto and Tokyo.
