What a ROODS audio tour is

An audioguide that isn't stuck inside a museum — narrated like a friend who happens to know everything about the street you are standing on.

No app, no rental desk

Open the tour in your browser and press play. There is nothing to download and no handset to queue for, pay a deposit on, or hand back before closing time. Your phone is the audioguide.

It follows you, not a script

Stories start when you reach the place they are about. You are not pausing, fast-forwarding, or hunting for stop number fourteen — you walk, and the city talks.

Written with people who know the place

Every route is built with local historians, creators and cultural partners, then checked before it goes out. The sources are published alongside the story.

Start walking

Every route is free. Pick one and go — or read the stories behind the streets first.
