A guide who knows the city, in your pocket.

Walking tours narrated by Cicerone. He speaks when you reach somewhere worth stopping, and stays quiet the rest of the time.

Free walks in Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento, in English and Spanish. iPhone now; Android later.

“What you're standing over is a monument to a national hero, built by a regime that actively suppressed the democratic ideals he fought for.”

Cicerone · Mausoleo de Artigas, Montevideo

How a walk goes

Pick a walk, or build your own

Choose one of the walks already written. Or frame a part of town on the map, pick the places you want to walk past, and Andanza plans the walk from them.
Press start

Cicerone opens the walk and hands over. Put the phone away: nothing on the screen needs you, and it keeps working with the phone locked.
He speaks when you arrive

Reach a stop and the narration starts on its own. A minute or so, then quiet again until the next one.

The route is drawn on the map and that's all. Finding your way through a city is part of walking through it.

There are no pictures of the buildings in the app. The building is in front of you.

No soundtrack, no effects. One voice, and whatever the street is doing.

Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo Casi nada sigue en lo suyo 8 stops · 1.6 km · about 80 min
Cordón, Montevideo Sobre la misma loma 8 stops · about 2 h 15 min
Rambla de Montevideo Todo mira al río 7 stops · 9 km · about 3 h · in two parts
Colonia del Sacramento El barrio que volvió 7 stops · about 45 min

Every walk is narrated in English and Spanish, written natively in each rather than translated. More walks appear in the app as they are written.

“Take your time; I'll speak up when there's something worth a look.”
