Detour careers

Detour is a mobile app for taking audio walks. Leave your phone in your pocket as Detour's location-aware technology guides you to the fascinating places you wouldn’t find, and the stories you can't see. Walk through a secret door to the real Fisherman's Wharf, guided by a fisherman who has worked there for 40 years. Relive the raucous times of the Beat Generation writers on a stroll through North Beach. Learn about San Francisco’s ambitious goal to recycle or reuse every single item we 'throw away' as you walk from the aisles of a grocery store to the pier where container ships pick up bundles of plastic and take them to China. Take Detours alone, or sync up with friends.
