SmartTouristes

Shealy goes on to say that hotels could begin partnering with apps like the new Detour walking tours in San Francisco, created by Groupon founder and former CEO, Andrew Mason. The app provides 90-minute narrated tours with a theme, such as the Beat Generation tour that explores Chinatown and the buzzy North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco where writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg congregated. The tour provides an in-depth survey of the back streets and directs participants to small local cafes and bars visitors would never come across otherwise.
