Create self-guided audio tours visitors can start from a QR code at your site — or discover in the USTourGuide app while exploring your community.
Professional audio tours without commissioning a custom app.
Build from your phone walking the site, or from a web portal.
Reach visitors on-site and travelers browsing your area.
Every tour's QR code is generated automatically when you publish — ready to print on a sign, a plaque, or a brochure. Visitors scan it and land on your tour page, which directs them to get the free USTourGuide app — the tour plays in the app.
Request a listing for your published tour. Approved tours appear in the app's tour directory and on the map, where travelers browsing your area find them while exploring.
Four steps from an idea to a tour visitors can take today.
Walk or drive the route and place each stop where the story happened.
Write from your computer or dictate from your phone. Volunteers need no technical expertise.
Hear the narration, then adjust stops, photos, and order until it's right.
Publish your tour and get a linke and QR code to share with guest — and, if you like, request a national listing in the USTourGuide app.
Tell the story of the people who lived there and how life has changed.
Share the history of your town, one block at a time.
Honor lives and preserve stories for future generations.
Welcome visitors in your own words — narration starts as they arrive and keeps playing inside.
Guide visitors through the events that shaped the ground they're standing on.
Connect your county's historic sites into one driving tour.
IMPORTANT: Tour stops are triggered by GPS location: a stop begins playing as visitors approach and continues indoors, but new stops don't trigger inside a building — plan indoor spaces as a single stop at the entrance.
One shared free app for every tour — visitors install USTourGuide once, not a custom app per site.
Your organization controls its content. Update your tours as research advances, exhibits change, and interpretations evolve — corrections and new findings reach visitors the moment you publish them.
Your organization retains ownership of its research, photographs, and written materials.
Public listing is free for early adopters; listings are reviewed before they go live and approval isn't guaranteed.

Get credit for your expertise, and send travelers to your website.
Know your county's history, its ghost stories and UFO sightings, its film locations, or any of dozens of other subjects better than anyone? Help us tell it. The stories USTourGuide plays as travelers pass a landmark, a marker or a strange sighting come from public records, and public records have gaps. Stewardship gives local historical societies, county organizations and specialist groups editing responsibility for the records in their territory or their subject: correct a date, add a photo, retell a story the way it should be told, publish a place we missed. Every record you care for can carry a "Learn more" link to your own website, so the travelers you inform become the visitors and members you're looking for. Stewards work in the same portal our publishers use, with a map of every record in their care, and every change goes live right away. Stewardship is free, and steward organizations also receive at least fifteen custom tours of their own to design, publicize and list publicly at no charge.
