It can be comforting to be introduced to a new place by someone who is familiar with an area and Sherpa Tours equips travelers with their very own augmented reality guide. The walking tours led by an AR avatar guide are offered in dozens of cities around the world. The walking tours, which range from one to three hours in length, give people people the chance to go at their own pace, especially if they want to make a stop for sightseeing or a meal.
At a time when most people are still only able to dream about traveling for pleasure, Sherpa Tours also gives app users the ability to take remote tours from the comfort of their very own homes.
