About Gesso: Audio Tours

Gesso is a new way to explore cities with audio that plays based on your location. Here, you'll find audio experiences anywhere from an immersive moving play to countercultural audio tours that invite you to feel the pulse of the city. As a creator and publisher of site-specific audio content, we celebrate 'place' and the people who shaped it in New York, San Francisco, Florence, Venice, Rome and London.

Named after the primer layer artists apply to a canvas before they tell their stories, Gesso (sounds like: JEH-so) makes next-gen audio guides that go under the surface of a city and through the halls of the most forward-thinking museums.



Ready to see the world in a whole new light? You’re in good company, here’s what our users have to say about Gesso:

"Their walking tours are so impeccably executed it’s hard to imagine how this didn’t exist sooner. Become an early adopter, you won’t regret it!" -soapboxdarby

“If you don't want to join a traditional walking tour but still learn more about the place you're visiting, this app is perfect for you. The walks are easy to follow and very detailed..super interesting and informative. Fantastic! -DaniHeinrich

"The app succeeds doing the 2 things it needs to do, First, it easily and correctly guides you, while providing clear walking instructions and seamless auto play. The app "gets out of the way" and allows you to simply follow the route and listen to the tour. Second, the tours themselves are great. I've done a couple around the New York area and they have a great balance of theme, random tidbits, landmarks, etc and are super fun. Can't wait for more of these high quality tours to drop!" - adamoch

"Just spent a few days in New York and unfortunately discovered this app on the last day. I wish I had known about it earlier. The Rock Center tour was incredible." -Christine222
