Self-guided Chamonix from Geneva with optional Aiguille du Midi or Mer de Glace, plus free time to shop and sightsee.

Self-guided Chamonix day trip from Geneva with Aiguille du Midi and Mer de Glace options, big Alpine views, and flexible free time in town.
“A beautiful place to visit summer or winter. We did self-guided which was completely fine as the town was easy to navigate. A bit chaotic getting back on the return bus at the bus station as all buses show up at the same time for the full day tours.”
Follow a self-guided Basel audio walk with offline maps, smart GPS directions, and stops at the Town Hall, Rhine bridges, and Basel Minster.
“It took me a bit to figure out how to navigate the app, but once I mastered that, it was great. Well paced, informative and interesting, it gave me a great feeling for Basel and its history. For the price, you can’t beat it. I would suggest listening to at least the first part to…”

A self-guided Lucerne audio walk with a pro narrator, fresco-house stories, and free sights, ending at the Dying Lion Monument.

Walk Bern’s Old Town with a self-guided English audio route hitting clocks, fountains, churches, the BearPark, and Swiss Parliament for $13.29.
“What a fantastic and very informative tour. Ok, so you have to do a lot of walking but you always stop off for a coffee when you need to, as I did. This doesn’t cover a big area and you’ll find yourself revisiting places but from a different angle but it’s a great introduction into…”
Geneva’s zombie-themed self-guided puzzle walk with 12 stops, free-entry sights, and offline play options for about 1 hour 20 minutes.
“Didn’t have internet (Switzerland) at the starting point. Downloaded the other app and unlocked the game. It was supposed to work offline. I couldn’t use it offline, cause it needs internet to begin with at the starting point. I couldn’t play. It’s also a problem if Switzerland and my mobile data, so not only from…”
