About WalkSmart

Users can input their starting point and preferences—such as interests in architecture, churches, viewpoints, or other activities—and the system creates a personalized route with audio narration. The tours are designed to be flexible, allowing users to explore at their own pace, make spontaneous stops, and adjust plans without being tied to fixed schedules. Tours are viewable in Google Maps for visual navigation. The platform currently lists dozens of cities including Reykjavik, Tokyo, Barcelona, New York, and many more, with new tours being generated regularly.
