Mira Tours

Mira Tours is an AI tour guide that turns a walk through any city into a narrated audio tour. Mira tells you the story of what is around you as you walk, and every tour is researched and written for you, wherever you happen to be. It offers walking audio tours anywhere in the world, with narration chosen per tour. The product is aimed at people who want to understand the place they are walking through, whether they are visiting a city for the first time, living somewhere they have never fully explored, or simply dreaming about a destination from home. Most walking tours require planning: choosing a route, finding a guide, joining a group and following a fixed schedule. Mira takes a different approach, built around four ways to start walking and a promise that you can plan it out or plan nothing at all. You can shape a route in conversation, start walking and let Mira find something interesting near you, head towards a destination you were going to anyway, or walk a tour someone else has shared. Rather than one fixed route for everyone, every tour is researched and written for you, so the stories you hear at each stop relate to the walk you are actually on and to what you said you were curious about. The four ways to start walking cover different intentions. The first is making your own tour: you say what you are in the mood for and build the route together in a chat, adding, dropping and reordering stops until the plan feels right. The second is wandering: there is nothing to plan or pick, you tap start, Mira finds something interesting near you and keeps finding stops for as long as you feel like walking. The third is heading somewhere: if you are going somewhere anyway, Mira routes you there and narrates what you pass, and if you give an arrival time she paces the walk to make it. The fourth is walking someone else's tour: others have shared the best of their cities, so you can walk one near you or listen from home to a city you are dreaming about. Building your own audio tour works like planning a day out with a friend who knows every street. You tell Mira what you are curious about and build the tour together. You can say what you are in the mood for, whether that is hidden history, film spots or something the kids will love, and any idea works. Mira then proposes real places near you, in walkable order, and you add, drop and reorder stops until the plan feels right. In the example shown on the site, a walker says "I have an hour and I love hidden history", and Mira responds by offering a route through the oldest corners of Chinatown starting a short walk away: Portsmouth Square, Old Saint Mary's Cathedral, Waverly Place and Ross Alley, about an hour on foot. When the walker asks for coffee near the end, Mira adds Caffe Trieste. Then you just walk, and every stop is narrated as you arrive, researched and written for your tour. As you walk, stories arrive when you do: you can lock your phone, put it in your pocket and keep walking, with narration delivered as you reach each stop. Your interests shape what you hear at every stop, because you can tell Mira what you love and what you can skip, and every stop leans your way; a topics screen lets you turn subjects such as Legends and Ghosts up and Politics down. At a stop you can see what else a place has to offer, hear another story, or just keep walking. You can also ask anything, anytime, about something you just heard or something you just walked past. Ask your guide, get a real answer, and turn it into more audio if you want to keep going. Tours are also designed to be shared. You can share a link and everyone walking with you hears the same stops you do, live as you walk. They install Mira, tap the link and follow the whole tour without spending any of their own minutes, because walking along is free for your friends. Tours are narrated in 23 languages, chosen per tour: Arabic, Bangla, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Marathi, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Overall, Mira's approach is to research and write each tour for the person walking it, whether that route was shaped in a chat, discovered stop by stop while wandering, or planned to finish at a particular place at a particular time. The main benefit is that you do not have to plan, book or study to get the story of a place. You can begin with no plan at all, or shape one in a short conversation, and hear researched narration at each stop instead of reading it. Because Mira keeps finding stops for as long as you feel like walking, a walk does not end when a fixed itinerary does, and you can stop whenever you like. You can put your phone away and simply listen as you arrive, and you can bend the tour towards your own interests at every stop, leaning into legends and ghosts or turning politics down. If you are walking with others, everyone hears the same stories live rather than one person reading aloud from a guide. Concrete uses follow directly from the four modes. A visitor with an hour and a taste for hidden history can ask for that in a chat and immediately receive a walkable route with real stops and a coffee finish. Someone already heading somewhere can have Mira route them there and narrate what they pass, with the walk paced to an arrival time. A local with no plan can tap start and keep walking while Mira finds something interesting nearby, and keep going for as long as they like. Someone dreaming about a distant city can listen from home to a tour others have shared, and a group of friends walking together can follow one shared link so everyone hears the same stops live. Anyone who wants to try it first can walk a real city in street view in the browser as Mira tells them about it, with nothing to install. Availability and pricing are stated plainly: your first 30 minutes are free, and after that you buy listening time when you want it, with no subscription and no monthly fee. Thirty minutes for a quick tour costs $0.99, two hours costs $2.99 and saves 24%, and five hours costs $5.99 as the best value. Time never expires, and it is only spent on narration and research you actually use. Prices are in US dollars, and the app shows your store's local price. Mira runs in the browser at mira.tours/wander as well as in mobile apps, with downloads on the App Store and on Google Play, and Product Hunt lists it under Android, Travel, Artificial Intelligence and Google Cloud Run. In short, Mira Tours is a personal tour guide in audio form: an AI guide that plans a route with you or finds one for you, narrates it stop by stop as you arrive, adapts to your interests, answers your questions, and can be shared so everyone walking with you hears the same stories.
