Where it comes from
Born on a motorbike, between Switzerland and Bangkok
In 2024, two of us and our dog Guinness, riding in a sidecar, set off from Lausanne for Bangkok overland. Every day brought new questions. Who lived in that ruined fortress? What was the story of the caravanserai we'd slept next to? What had we just ordered from a menu we couldn't read? And what was that giant gecko on the wall?
The answers were out there somewhere: buried in a Wikipedia article that wouldn't load on one bar of signal, tucked in a guidebook at the bottom of a bag, or written on a sign in a language we couldn't read. Usually we shrugged and rode on, never knowing what we'd missed.
Audioguide Everything is the companion we wanted on that road: ask, and get the story right away.
An honest comparison
It doesn't replace a human guide
A good guide has stories no app can tell, and the tourist office knows the best routes: use them when you can. Audioguide Everything is for all the other moments.
Local experts
- Stories, anecdotes and favourite corners from people who live there
- Local knowledge you can't find online
- Routes and maps from the tourist office to plan your visit
- At opening hours or booked ahead, mostly for the famous sites
Audioguide Everything
- Always available, at 7am or at midnight
- For everything along the way, and what the route leaves out
- Written for where you stand, away from the guidebook crowds: a roadside stall, a village square
- For anything you can point a camera at
- Around home too: your neighbourhood, the street you walk every day

Real sources, written by AI
Built on open data
Each guide starts from what OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia say about the place: what's around you, its history, the area. Not from the AI's memory alone.
Written by AI
An AI model turns those facts into a guide you can read or listen to. It's usually right and sometimes wrong: think of it as a curious companion, not a reference book.
Your next question is just around the corner.
