Modern travelers are increasingly seeking deeper experiences than just classic sightseeing and photo stops. They want to understand the stories behind a place, notice the details others walk past, and feel the mood of a city as they explore it. To fully enjoy this kind of travel, having a tour guide app providing exclusive local tours, with extra features like offline access and AI assistance, makes the experience more engaging and stress-free.
SmartGuide Premium tours are built with this in mind, offering an ad-free way to explore cities through rich audio storytelling that connects history, hidden details, atmosphere, and often also popular cultural trends, like movies or books, into a coherent journey.

SmartGuide offers several premium thematic tours, such as "Secrets of Prague", for example, which is inspired by a popular Dan Brown novel, The Secret of Secrets, set in Prague, guiding visitors around authentic locations they are familiar with from pop culture. When travelers visit these locations, they may recall scenes or ideas from books they have read, becoming more emotionally drawn into the city's story. Some travelers even choose to read the books while exploring the destination, creating a powerful connection between fiction and place.
Secrets of Prague tour in SmartGuide digital audio guide
Secrets of Prague is a SmartGuide Premium tour built around the intrigue, hidden symbolism, and lesser-known places across the city, thematically aligned with Dan Brown’s story. The route is quite complex and includes 30 locations in and out of Prague, spans 22 kilometers, and takes approximately 660 minutes to complete. Travelers can experience it in one full day or split it into two days at a relaxed pace. Along the way, the tour moves through Gothic towers, baroque palaces, Cold War-era spaces, Charles Bridge, and unexpected modern elements, blending famous landmarks with less-known but very memorable places many visitors would otherwise miss.
Want an example of such a memorable place? Visitors following the premium Dan Brown-inspired Prague tour on SmartGuide discover the Four Seasons Hotel with unique views of Prague Castle nearby, or Black Angel’s Bar, a famous cocktail bar located in a historic cellar beneath Prague’s Old Town. Its underground setting and moody interior fit naturally into the narrative flow of the Dan-Brown-inspired tour, offering a pause that feels connected to the story rather than a promotional detour. Stops like this help blur the line between fiction and reality, making the walk feel more cohesive and engaging.
