Questions about giving a tour
What is a good last-minute gift?
Something that arrives instantly and still feels personal: an experience they can do on a day that suits them. A self-guided audio walk is emailed in minutes, carries your note, and plays in any phone browser.
How fast does it arrive?
Within a few minutes of paying. Or pick a date and it comes that morning at 8 a.m. your time.
How does a Stories gift arrive?
By email. Pick a tour (or the Stories Pass), type their email, add a note if you like and choose the day. We send them a gift email with an Open your gift button and a code; you get the receipt and the same code, in case you would rather hand it over yourself.
Can I schedule it for a certain day?
Yes. Choose "On a date" and it arrives that morning at 8 a.m. your time, birthdays and Christmas morning included. Choose "Now" and it lands in their inbox within a few minutes.
Do they need an app?
No. Every tour plays in the phone's browser: open the gift and tap play at the first stop. The free Stories app adds GPS auto-play, so each story starts by itself when they arrive, and it works offline. They sign in with the email the gift went to and it's already in their library.
Can they bring friends?
Yes. One walk covers a group on up to 4 phones, and a drive covers the whole car.
What if they live nowhere near these cities?
Give the Stories Pass: every tour, everywhere, for 12 months from the day it arrives, including the new ones we add. A tour is also a good way to plan a trip: the first stop of every tour is free to try at home.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If it doesn't work out, email support@getstories.app within 7 days and we'll refund you.
