FAQ
I love planning trips for hours. Will GuideSofia ruin my obsessive pre-travel
spreadsheet ritual?
Yes, we know you enjoy spending 17 hours comparing hotel reviews written by people named DaveFromOhio2018. But imagine spending that time actually enjoying your trip instead. Sofia does the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters: arguing with your travel partner about whether you should wake up early.
Is the audio guide going to bore me to tears with dates and architectural terms?
Our audio guides passed the “would you listen to this after two glasses of wine?” test. We focus on the stories that make places memorable—scandals, secrets, and stuff they definitely didn’t teach you in history class. No architectural jargon unless you’re specifically into that.
Can I customize my experience or am I stuck with whatever Sofia thinks I’ll like?
Sofia learns your preferences faster than you can say “please no more churches.” Hate walking? Love weird historical facts? Only interested in places with great photo ops? Tell Sofia once and she’ll remember forever (or until you change your mind).
Do I need to be online to use GuideSofia?
For now yes, because we are building and perfecting evertyhing ourselves. You can still check the guides at your hotel or at a cafe around town (and some you can hear after while you are exploring). But that will change soon, and we will have offline guides
You can switch between Free nad Premium plan anytime without extra cost.
