Audio travel guide for the places you visit

Mappu audio guides tell you about a place in a few minutes, while you stand in front of it. Open the guide for the Pantheon, the Sagrada Família or the Tower of London and press play, in your browser or in the app. When the place is on your Mappu itinerary, its guide sits on that day.

How does a Mappu audio guide work?

Quick answer. Open the guide for the place you are visiting, such as the Pantheon, Pompeii, the Tower of London or the Sagrada Família, and press play. It narrates a short, structured story of the place while you look around, and you can read along. The 400+ public guides are free on the web, and almost any other place on the Mappu map has one. They do not replace the venue's own rules or a licensed human guide.

How does Mappu build a flexible multi-day itinerary?

Mappu is a Fenutech product: an AI trip planner that turns your destination, dates, pace and interests into an editable day-by-day itinerary, with every stop on a map. It plans in eight languages, including Japanese and Traditional Chinese. Almost any place on the map can play an audio guide, 953 public guides are free on the web, and while you walk, Mappu can tell you about the places around you.

How planning with Mappu works

1Describe the tripDestination, dates or number of days, who is travelling, pace, interests, must-sees and anything to avoid. Fill in the planner or talk it through in the chat.
2Get a day-by-day planIn the chat, Mappu sketches your days on a map for free, no account needed. The full itinerary adds places to eat and notes on transport, budget and packing; it is built in your Mappu account, and you see what it includes before you confirm.
3Make it yoursMove, swap, add or delete stops and days. The rest of the plan stays as it was, and the map shows the new order straight away.
4Use it on the tripOpen the same trip on your phone. At almost any stop, a Mappu audio guide tells you the story of the place. Mappu does not book anything or show live timetables.

How do I listen on site?

Short chapters work well when you are reading a façade or crossing a square. Pause whenever the place needs your attention, then pick up where you left off.

How do the guides connect to my trip plan?

On your phone, a stop in your Mappu itinerary can open its audio guide right from that day, and almost any other place is a tap away on the map. No hunting for a recording at the entrance and no second app to keep in sync.

What do the guides not cover?

They are a compact introduction, not a museum catalogue. Mappu can tell the story of almost any place, not literally every one, and a few minutes cannot cover a whole collection. For tickets, access rules and safety, the venue's official information always comes first.

Common questions

Can I try a guide before planning a trip?

Yes. Open any public guide, like the Pantheon or the Sagrada Família, and listen straight away.

Is there audio for every place?

Almost. The 400+ public guides are free on the web. For almost any other place, tap it on the Mappu map to get a standard guide, which uses 2 credits.

Does the audio guide replace venue rules or navigation?

No. Follow the venue's instructions and local safety signs, and use a navigation app for turn-by-turn directions.

Where are you going next?

Tell Mappu where and for how long. The planner opens with your trip started, ready for your pace, interests and must-sees.
