Why Tangible Tours
Drive & Explore tours.
Most Wiltshire audio guides cover one site on foot. Ours joins the sites together: stories play as you drive between them, and walks along the old footpaths are built in.
Side by side
A general comparison by type of experience — details vary between providers.

What makes it different
Walking is part of the tour
Google Maps guides the drive between sites. At each planned walk, park safely and get out to explore — tap START WALK, follow the green footpath line, then RESUME DRIVE when you are back at the car.
Footpaths, not roads
Walks follow Wiltshire’s public rights of way and bridleways, so you are not sent down a busy lane.
Made for no signal
Download once on Wi-Fi. Stories, maps and directions keep working out on the downs.
Easy for every age
Big buttons, an “Easier to read” mode and one tap at each change — the app never guesses for you.
