Hello, Product Hunt community! 👋 I am excited to introduce Narrated Tours to you all today. Narrated Tours is born out of a personal need and a clear gap in the market. As a frequent city explorer, I often struggled with expensive guided tours, poorly structured self-guided tours, or plain old guidebooks. I wanted something flexible, affordable, and personal - so I decided to create it myself! With Narrated Tours, we leverage AI to deliver a unique travel experience. ✨Completely bespoke routes - You decide exactly where you want to start your tour (from your AirBnb or even from home? Not problem) ✨Self-paced - No more waiting around for your tour guide to start ✨Affordable - A typical group tour can cost anywhere from $20-$99. Ours is a fraction of the cost. 🟣 HOW IT WORKS 1️⃣ Enter your travel destination 2️⃣ Make customizations (optional) 3️⃣ Review and choose a recommended tour 4️⃣ Purchase and download the guides. 🟣 FOUNDER'S WORDS By offering self-paced, personalized, and downloadable audio walking tours, we aim to make travel experiences more engaging and accessible for everyone. I am also excited about the B2B opportunities this tool presents, with the potential for collaborations with city marketers, museums and tour guides to create unique experiences for their guests. I truly believe in the immense potential of AI technology to enhance our lives, and I am super excited to be applying it in such a fun context. I would absolutely love your feedback, so do try it out and let me know what you think. 🟣 LAUNCH OFFER - $1 tours! In celebration of our beta launch, I would like to offer your first tour for $1 with the code DOLLARTOUR (This is 80% off our usual price of $4.99, exclusive to the Product Hunt community this month, as a thank you for being part of our beta community) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, questions, and suggestions! Thanks, Hazel

Awesome to see Narrated tours on products hunt! Used narrated tours this week for an upcoming trip. Really like how east it is to use. Future feature request recommend things to see based on saved preferences. For example park up spots for my camper!

@leelaunches This is a great idea, thank you! Using it for RV adventures has been mentioned a few times.

@ameersameerkhan Thank you Ameer, this is a Twitter build in public project and it's been a rollercoaster ride!

I love this application of AI - big fan of how it can aid and enhance the travel experience. Great work Hazel!

@tsmith92 You know what, I am incredibly surprised at the responses I've received from traditional tour operators and tour guides. Most are very excited about how AI can transform their industry.
Hello_Joy
✨👍Congrats! I'm excited about its potential to enhance travel experiences!! Love this feature: Just enter your destination, and the tool creates a personalized walking route with downloadable audio guides!! Looking forward to trying it out and discovering new places!😆

@joy_eom Thanks Joy! Yes, I am always on the hunt for tour guides that fits my schedule and don't cost a bomb. With the new GPT API, I thought, maybe I could build an AI alternative. Here we are!
sushil
This is cool. Love the thought process and the way you used Nocode tools in this app is awesome. Congrats on the launch Hazel 🙌
Hazel Lim
Maker
@sushil_kumar_ Thank you. Yes, as a non-tech founder, I had to great creative with how I use no-code in this project. ChatGPT helped a lot too
Kavita
A brilliant way to enhance your travel experience, and encourage people to get outside and walking. I need to test it out when I go to Lisbon next month.
Hazel Lim

@kkavita Oh wow, definitely! Let me know if you need any help or get stuck

I liked the idea. Congrats on the launch! I'll surely check it out.

@dipika_gohil Thank you. Appreciate any feedback or comment you have
Glenn McWhinney
This is really clever and I'm sure enjoyable too, Hazel - congrats on your launch today 👏 We've seen so many B2B apps powered by AI that it's almost become dull! So seeing AI applied to a proper B2C app here should be inspiring for a lot of us making NoCode solutions. I can't wait to try Narrated Tours soon 📣
Hazel Lim
Maker
@theflowagency Thanks Glenn, yes, this is a fun one to build, and something I love using myself. Love bringing a bit of quirky joy to the community here.
Nuno Reis
This looks amazing? Does it support several languages? Because one of the main difficulties I see people having is when their english isn't very good and only english tours are available. Congrats on the launch! 😃
Hazel Lim
Maker
@nuno_ms_reis Not yet, but this should be doable in v2. I've tested ChatGPT in Mandarin and it works rather well, and this tool is built with GPT
Nuno Reis
@byhazellim Thats sounds great! Keep up the amazing work :)
S
Also also! I wonder if you can coordinate it with GPS? Like, if I'm at a super famous London cafe as I'm walking, it tells me about its history right as I'm walking towards it?
Hazel Lim
Maker
@simran_handa So this is another popular feature request. For now, the GPS function isn't fantastic. It sometimes thinks you're somewhere miles away! But with proper integration with Google Maps this could in theory work.
Shamil Kuramshin
Very interesting idea, just one question: what is the difference from other mobile guides for me, as a user?
Hazel Lim
Maker
@shamil_kuramshin As a user you currently have to go on marketplaces to find a mobile guide, fitting your travel schedule and route to what's available. This app aims to flip it around, you tell it where you are and it can create bespoke guides for you. Hope that is helpful.
Anna Svirshchevskaya
Hazel, congratulations on the launch! 🎊 A great product for each traveler, waiting for the moment to test it on practice! And especially I enjoyed your website so much! Some questions - are your tours available at any locations of the world or some limitations can take place? What's the average duration of 1 tour? And should a user buy tour by tour or you have bundles like buying 3 tours as a set?
Hazel Lim
Maker
@anna_sv Thank you for taking the time to review the site! 1) The app is powered by AI, and can work for any location in the world. I've tried giving it obscure locations and it still worked for me! 2) I'd recommend trying a 30-minute one. The narration output is usually 10 minutes long, with walks in between. 3) It is currently priced tour by tour. Would love to create bundles in the future as I appreciate most people would have multiple days of touring to do in 1 trip.
Anna Svirshchevskaya
@byhazellim Hazel, thank you for a quick answer! Bundles would be really helpful feature for the majority of travelers, cause many of them experience multiple day tours or active programs during one day from early morning till late night, so they have a chance to listen many of your tours! Studied your site for the second time and observed that your solution is made on Glide - I know what's it and how it works, so great that you use such instruments! 🤗
Dan Mindru
this is an awesome idea! A great way to explore new places but also your own city. Nice work Hazel! 🙌

Maker
@dan_mindru It's super interesting that most people's first try with this tool is with their own city. I may have to think about how to incorporate this into the next version. Thank you Dan!
Arvindh Sundar
I wish I had this when I was travelling through Oslo, Norway. This would have made the experience of a stranger in a strange land a lot more fun. Another thing (a sneaky thing) that I can't wait to do is to listen to this with my daughter while we snoop around in Google street view :) Way to go Hazel! Good luck :)
Hazel Lim

@arvindh_sundar This is a great idea! I've got a few requests about using this on your own home turf (instead of when travelling), adding this to the product development roadmap
