How to take a UCPlaces tour
Taking a UCPlaces tour is fun and easy.
Download the app (
Android or
iOS), purchase the tour (either here on the website, or from within the app).
That's it, you're ready to go!
When you want to start the tour, find the tour in the app (via a quick in-app search or by clicking the tour link received in your confirmation email) and click "Start Tour" (headphones recommended for best experience.)
* After purchasing a tour you will receive a purchase confirmation email including the tour link and instructions on how to take the tour, so you don't have to remember anything now.
How does the tour work?
UCPlaces acts as your personal tour guide, providing self-guided audio tours fully navigated within our app using GPS-based navigation. You won't need to switch between external navigation apps.
Whenever you approach a point of interest (POI) on the tour, our app will automatically play the relevant audio story at the right time and place.
If you start the tour before reaching the first POI, the app will navigate you to the starting point and then begin the tour.
How is this more convenient than a traditional tour?
UCPlaces offers an innovative and flexible way to explore exciting destinations on your terms.
Here are some key advantages over traditional tours:
- No need to commit upfront or purchase in advance; buy a tour only when you're ready to go.
- Walk at your own pace.
- No waiting for groups; go on your schedule.
- Take the tour in your preferred language.
- Start, stop and continue the tour whenever you want.
- Returning to the same destination? Take the tour again, and again, and again... And bring a friend!
- Enjoy preferred prices.
