AARP Colorado Launches Audio Guided NeighborWalks on Geotourist App

DENVER - Jan. 5, 2017 - PRLog -- AARP Colorado has partnered with Geotourist, the smartphone app, to provide its popular NeighborWalks walking tours on audio. The audio guides will provide locals and visitors the chance to explore Denver history and architecture right on their smartphones.

NeighborWalks is a collaborative community walking program offered by AARP Colorado. The goal of the program is to get more people walking every day for health, transportation, environment and community. The new audio tour takes users on 20 points of interest through Denver neighborhoods. The tour includes important Denver landmarks such as The Molly Brown House, Governor's Mansion, Capitol Hill and Denver Art Museum. Users can visit the sites in any order and listen to the sites' stories from a local historian.

"Talk about a great activity for fun, exercise and learning," said Jeremiah Mora, community outreach director for AARP Colorado. "We at AARP are very excited about this app and hope our members and their friends and families give it a try because it's just plain awesome!"

AARP Colorado's NeighborWalks by Geotourist is available for free download from iTunes and Google Play stores. The GPS-led app will guide users from site-to-site, while playing the stories of each site Pictures will help users identify the right site. Users will be able to take the tour at their own pace and time.
