About this tour
When Jake from our team tried this self-guided audio tour of Sitges, we found it a solid way to explore Spain's coastal town on your own terms. Mariel, a local guide, has curated a 90-minute digital walk through the historic centre, hitting key monuments and tucking in local food and drink spots she actually rates. You get GPS navigation, narrated audio, and photos on your phone — no set times, no group shuffle. Book it, and you've got 14 days to wander at whatever pace suits you, as many times as you fancy.
Highlights
- Local guide's picks for cafés and restaurants built into the route
- GPS map means you won't loop back on yourself
- Zero pressure to keep up with a group or clock-watch
- Wheelchair accessible throughout the town centre
- Reusable for a fortnight if you want to explore twice
- Works offline once downloaded; no roaming data stress
- Narration in Mariel's voice keeps it personal, not robotic
What to expect
You'll download the ONTUR app, punch in your activation code, and get a map with waypoints dotting Sitges's old town. Tap each one and Mariel's voice fills in the history and context — the main church, the Museu Cau Ferrat, the seafront squares. The pace is yours: linger at a viewpoint for 20 minutes, backtrack to a bar she mentioned, or skip ahead. It's genuinely like having a knowledgeable local whispering in your ear, except you can pause, rewind, or ignore them entirely.
The 90-minute estimate assumes steady walking with audio playing. In practice, you'll probably take longer if you actually stop for a cortado or browse a shop. Sitges itself is compact and flat, so navigation is straightforward even without the GPS handholding. Mariel's selections lean toward the prettiest corners and the places locals eat, which beats the standard guidebook route.

Good to know
This is brilliant for travellers who hate being herded or starting at 9am sharp. You get genuine local insight — the kind a guidebook skips — woven in without the small-talk obligation of a live guide. The restaurant and café tips are gold if you're trying to eat where actual Sitges residents do. Fully accessible, pram-friendly, works for solo travellers and couples alike.
You'll need your own phone and a decent pair of headphones (or be comfortable listening aloud, which gets awkward in quiet streets). The audio tour can't answer questions on the fly — if you're curious about something Mariel doesn't cover, you're on your own. Battery life matters; a long wander could drain your phone. Peak tourist season (summer) means the landmarks themselves might be crowded, though the tour experience itself stays peaceful. Bring your own charger and a headphone cable if your battery's dodgy.
