Steps 01 — 03 · offline audio after download

No tapping. No tour groups. No schedule.

01 · Download

Pick a tour, download the audio

Audio, the route, and tour details download before you go. Live street-map imagery may still need a connection.

02 · Go

Travel at your own pace

Set up before moving and keep your attention on the path or road. Camena follows your progress along the route.

03 · Tune in

Stories find you

Enter a stop's radius and its story plays on its own. That's the whole trick.

Self-guided · no fixed departures

Guided tours run on their schedule. Not yours.

Tour groups leave at 10 a.m. sharp and move at the group's pace. Audiobooks don't know where you are. Plaques make you stop and squint. Camena narrates the city as you move through it — each story written from verified local sources and delivered right where it happened, while your eyes stay on the place itself.

07 questions

Questions, answered

Does it work without cell service?

Downloaded audio, the tour route, and stop details work without cell service. Live street-map imagery may still need a connection.

Is it tracking me?

Your GPS trace never leaves your phone — the triggering runs on-device. Camena syncs which stops you've completed, so your progress follows you across devices. Anonymous usage stats are off unless you turn them on.

Do I need to hold my phone?

No. Set up the tour before moving. Narration starts on its own along the route; leave the phone alone until you stop somewhere safe.

iPhone or Android?

Both — Camena is available on iPhone and Android.

What does it cost?

One Victoria walking tour is free. Paid tours are one-time purchases, not subscriptions; your current storefront price is shown before you buy.

Won’t GPS drain my battery?

The screen can stay off, and Camena uses balanced, low-power positioning rather than constant high-precision GPS — it’s built for hours on a route, not minutes.

When and where?

Victoria, British Columbia first. The first tours are live in the app now — start with the free Inner Harbour walk.

Victoria & Vancouver Island · walk, bike, drive

Start with the free walk.

The free Inner Harbour tour is available today on the App Store and Google Play, with three paid routes beside it. Download before you go — from there, the stories find you.
