Why travelers like it
- Made for the trip they're planning
Going to Boston, Savannah, New Orleans or Key West? Give that city. Not sure? The Stories Pass covers them all.
- Their own pace
No tour group, no start time. They walk when they want, stop for coffee and pick up where they left off.
- Light as it gets
It weighs nothing and works offline in the app, so it goes in the carry-on with room to spare.
Questions about giving a tour
What is a good gift for someone who loves to travel?
An experience at their next stop. A self-guided audio tour of the city they're visiting gives them a local's stories without booking a group tour, and the Stories Pass covers every city we have for a year.
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.
