Chicago's Smart Guide - 312Go app for iPhone and iPad

312Go (www.312go.com) combines the knowledge of hundreds of Chicago tour guides, architects, historians and local experts into one mobile app.

All you have to do is move around Chicago, and 312Go’s guide will share stories and facts about the things you pass and the sights you see.

Each circle on the map marks the location of a story or fact. When you pass these locations, you will hear our guide talk to you and tell you where to look and what it is you are looking at. Or you can hear them all simply by touching each location on the screen.
