Travel agents can be there in spirit with their customers by turning them on to walking tours with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns across the Brooklyn Bridge, or through Chicago’s Grant Park with award-winning public radio host Richard Steele, as audio tour app Detour expands to New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

A total of 11 tours were added across the three cities, including the Brooklyn Bridge tour in New York, as well as Coney Island, SoHo and Central Park. In Los Angeles, Detour will take visitors to Venice Beach, Downtown L.A., Santa Monica (with NPR reporter Frances Anderton) and the city of Venice, CA. Baseball fans will delight in the Chicago tour of Wrigleyville, Grant Park and Downtown, with cultural historian Tim Samuelson.

Detour is available for iOS and Android.
