As more consumers seek to spend their time and money traveling, businesses and technologies have emerged to help make these experiences more memorable, including the new authentic podcast city guide -- Hidden Trax. The app "offers authentic city experience[s], bridging the gap between visitor and insider."
Hidden Trax is currently available in Edinburgh, where users can find the best hidden gems and unique experiences that can be explored through locally created podcast walking tours. The app includes GPS tracking so that users can download and listen to the tour offline and explore the city with a new perception. The platform also features a 'Take Me There' feature that will help users navigate the tours easily by showing them where to start the tour.
Hidden Trax is currently available on iOS and seeks to expand to more cities in the near future.
