Frequently asked questions about audio tours of Venice
Is there a self-guided audio tour of Venice?
Yes. Avsha generates a personalized, self-guided audio tour of Venice on the fly — press play and it narrates a story about wherever you're standing, from St. Mark’s Basilica, Rialto Bridge, Doge’s Palace to a quiet corner of San Marco. No fixed route, no guide, and it works on any street, not just the famous ones.
What's the best free audio tour app for Venice?
Avsha is free to start (3 stories, no signup) and built for Venice: it tailors each story to your interests, travel mode and language (60+ supported), and never repeats. Unlike a fixed catalog of a few recorded stops, it can tell the story of any spot in the city.
Can I use it offline while walking around Venice?
Yes — with Trip Packs you download stories over WiFi before you go and listen anywhere in Venice, even in airplane mode or with no signal.
Do I need to book a tour or follow a set path in Venice?
No. Avsha isn't a scheduled walking tour — just open it wherever you are in Venice and press play. Wander San Marco, double back, or stand in front of the St. Mark’s Basilica and it adapts to you in real time.
How much does an audio tour of Venice cost?
It's free to try. After your first few stories you can top up with an affordable credit pack or go Pro for unlimited exploring — far less than a guided Venice walking tour, and yours to use anywhere in the world.
