🗣 Ivano-Frankivsk: the guide here isn't just for listening — you can ask it things

Looking at “Townhall (Ratusa)” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.

Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.

🎧 One tour — in everyone's own earphones

Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.

Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.

🗺 What’s nearby — on the map

Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.

Ivano-Frankivsk, a vibrant city in East Galicia, was built in the mid-17th century as a fortress by the Potocki family. With a rich history shaped by various cultures, it offers a unique blend of Polish, Austrian, and Soviet influences that can be seen in its architecture and urban landscape.

Ivano-Frankivsk in English: a tour in your language

The guide talks about Ivano-Frankivsk in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.

If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
