Usage Tips:
For the best experience, we recommend using the GuideMate app directly and downloading the tour within it. This ensures you won’t incur any unnecessary data charges for streaming images, text, and audio.
You can choose which stop you want to visit next; there is no fixed sequence.
However, we have arranged the stops—particularly within specific neighborhoods (Kieze)—so that the next stop is never far away.
This also ensures that when using the apps’ automatic playback feature, the stops will play in a logical, convenient order.
