Hollywood Walking Tour App is now available with GPS guidence featuring over 50 locations on and around Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame.
SelfTour™ Audio Adventures has just released a revolutionary new APP system that utilizes GPS to guide the user with turn-by-turn spoken directions and site descriptions using there own smartphone or tablet. “Our uniquely designed software system allows us to create tours that are more complete and fun than having a personal tour guide,” says Ron Miziker of SelfTour™. First, we research all the information to insure it correctness. And we use sound effects, music, and a variety of character voices to bring the dialogue alive in an entertaining way. All this makes this SelfTour not only an enjoyable tour experience but it brings the listener into the wonderful story of Hollywood.”
It was on or around Hollywood Boulevard that so much of the exciting allure of the movie industry took place. For over 100 years this was the work place, playground and home of the glamorous stars, the powerful tycoons, and incredible talents, making Hollywood the entertainment Capitol of the World.
Hundreds have enjoyed this SelfTour Audio Adventure since it was first introduced in 2002. It has now been updated with GPS added. As they say, things change rapidly in Hollywood! We have preserved much of the original audio tracks performed by two memorable personalities who are no longer with us… actress Debbie Reynolds, Hollywood’s long-time honorary Mayor, Johnny Grant and others. Both personally lived much of Hollywood’s golden past.
The tour extends from Hollywood and Highland Boulevards to historic Hollywood and Vine Street and back featuring the Chinese Theater, sites of the Academy Awards, Capitol Records Building, the early offices of Charlie Chaplin, site of the first studio, the Max Factor makeup building, Café Montmartre, Warner Pacific Theater, Janes House and many more locations. Plus walking many stars of the famous Walk of Fame, with stories about many of the persons being honored with a star.
Whether you’re a movie buff or not, the tour is a delightful experience! The descriptions are performed by talented actors in an entertaining style, underscored with dramatic music and enhanced with photos. The descriptions have been thoroughly researched providing accurate information about the history, atmosphere and leading players that made Hollywood world famous.
The user is in control! The easy-to-use exclusive SelfTour™ system on one’s smartphone or tablet ensures an enjoyable tour on one’s own schedule, at their own pace. No waiting for others! Join the tour at any location, stop anywhere along the way and continue again. And it is a complete circle tour so the user ends up where they started. The GPS always shows where you are so getting lost is almost impossible. There are no advertisements and an internet connection is not needed. Just download and go!
