To use the tours:
You're visiting a new vacation spot or just some personal time on a working trip. Download an offline walking tour and follow along a guided tour on your phone.
Locals and experts have 'recorded' their own walk, made notes, attached photos and uploaded it just for you.
Since they recorded their own trip, the tour includes real timing, distances, and paths that actually exist. Google may have great maps, but it doesn't know everything when it comes to walking and seeing the sights.
Log in now and search for the perfect tour. When you're ready to leave, download the entire tour for use offline -- even if your tour takes you to somewhere so exotic there is no wireless to be found, you'll still find your way.
