No set route.

No schedule.

No crowds.

Just you, your headphones, and the stories hiding in plain sight.

So, how does Whale work?

Step 1: Set your Topics

Pick what you're into, whether that be general information through top hits or a historical tour to hear the unseen past. Whale will curate the tour for you.

Step 2: Set your Tone

You get to choose how the information is curated. Do you want to hear about the history in a punchy manner or maybe the photospots in a measured tone.

Step 3: Start walking

Whale uses your location to know exactly what's around you, in a new city or your own block.

Step 4: Just listen

Stories about what you're looking at, the moment you're looking at it. No script to follow, no tour to keep up with.

Traveling with a Group?

After curating the tone and vibe, share a code with your friends so that you all can listen together, just be sure to stay with the leader as they control the tour.

Get to
know us

Whale was born from a simple obsession, the kind that hits you when you're traveling somewhere new and realize every corner, every building, every street has a story nobody told you. We built Whale for the curious wanderers, the history hunters, and the everyday walkers who want to hear what their city is really saying. Wherever you walk, Whale is listening, and it has a lot to say.
