What is Mira Tours?
Mira Tours is an AI audio guide for people exploring cities on foot, whether they are planning a route or setting out without one. It researches and writes tour stories for the places a walker visits, and can also guide someone through a city in a browser-based street view experience. Walkers can create a tour with Mira, follow one shared by someone else, or ask questions as they go.
Mira Tours Features:
Chat-Based Tours: Describe what you are interested in, then add, remove, and reorder the real places Mira suggests into a walking route.
Spontaneous Wandering: Start walking without choosing a route, and Mira finds nearby points of interest and continues suggesting stops as you go.
Arrival Routing: Set a destination and arrival time, and Mira routes you there while pacing the walk to meet your timing.
Researched Narration: Hear stories researched and written for your tour as you arrive at each stop, with the option to ask questions about what you heard or passed.
Shared Live Tours: Share a link so other people can follow the same stops live as you walk, without using their own listening minutes.
Multilingual Audio: Choose narration in any of 23 supported languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi.
Browser Street View: Explore a real street in a browser while Mira narrates what you see, without installing the app.
Mira Tours Benefits:
Less Planning: Walkers can spend less time researching routes and choosing stops, since Mira can shape an itinerary or find places on the fly.
More Relevant Stories: Tours can follow personal interests, helping people focus on the kinds of history, places, or stories they want to hear.
Hands-Free Listening: Stories arriving at each stop make it easier to keep a phone in a pocket and stay focused on the walk.
Easier Group Walking: A shared tour keeps a group together on the same route and lets participants follow along without spending their own minutes.
Try Before Exploring: The browser street view lets people get a feel for a tour from home before deciding to explore on foot.
Use Cases:
Interest-Led City Walk: Build a route around a theme such as hidden history, film locations, or activities children might enjoy.
Unplanned Local Walk: Start walking in a city without a prepared itinerary and let Mira suggest nearby places to visit along the way.
Walk to a Destination: Get an audio-guided route to a meeting place or other destination, with the walk paced around a desired arrival time.
Group City Tour: Share a live tour link with friends so they can follow the same stops while walking together.
Remote City Preview: Use street view at home to walk through an available city tour and hear about the places along its route.
