Group tours are somewhat similar to the assembly-line production. Crowds are carrying on poppy places simultaneously vparivayut souvenirs of mass consumption of inadequate price guide mumbles wearily order hateful to him the text, all quickly photographed. We will talk about a much more interesting, informative, fun and free way to travel and learn new things.
The problem of group tours not only in the fact that they are maximally optimized to collect money the greatest number of people in a short time, but in a superficial approach to the cultural and historical component. For example, the Moscow area - more than 2, 500 square kilometers, and Moscow Region - 44,000. Is there not appeared anything interesting apart from the Red Square and the Kremlin, for almost a thousand years?
There are specialized tours of the hundreds of objects of the capital and the region, but they need to look for, to come to the place by a certain date and time. In general, not the most convenient format.
No one knows the city better than the locals. And if such a citizen and more interested in culture and history, it tells you more than any guide. Of course, the catch on the street asking people to show local points of interest is not very good idea, but to gather their experience and knowledge in one place and turn in a user-friendly application - this is exactly what necessary.

The developer describes it as follows:
Routes for this project were created by journalists, bloggers, travelers - the most curious tourists, so they are full of information that is difficult to obtain from conventional sources, the more find it in one resource. We tested the service order of 60 "pioneers" and we are very interested in constant feedback, which has been preserved, and further, so that each user can leave their recommendations for improving Wondergo and even himself to take part in the creation of new routes.

This list can be filtered by category (supplement or amend interests), a method of moving (transport, walking tour and so on), district of the city and spent time.
Tap on the desired tour opens its detailed description, a list of things that will be useful to take with them, and a button to start the journey.
It remains to reach the travel starting point and follow the plan of the route. For each location included a detailed description, a list of potentially useful sites nearby as well as a security question, which turns in a tour game for attentiveness.
The need to answer the question for each visited place makes a closer study what you see around you. Thus objects and furnishings better deposited in the memory. After passing the current location the app will tell you how to get to the next place.
Monetization of the service is planned at the expense of the partnership. In the process of the route the user will be offered various locations where it is possible, for example, eat or sleep.
