Want the whole city? Get the full Sydney Audio Guide
This tram guide is a free taster of 15 landmarks. The full app narrates 150+ Sydney attractions — walk, drive, cycle or ride — plus a non-stop Australia podcast between stops.
Instant access · No guide, no schedule
✅ Before you start
- Allow GPS access in your browser. When you press Start Audio Tour, the browser will ask for location permission — tap Allow. Without GPS the guide cannot detect which landmark you are passing.
- Set your screen to never sleep. iPhone: Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock → Never. Android: Settings → Display → Screen timeout → longest option.
- Use headphones (wired or Bluetooth) so you hear the commentary clearly over tram and street noise.
- Sit by a window for the best GPS signal and the best view of each landmark as it is announced.
📍 On the tram
GUIDE is ON by default (lit button) — commentary plays automatically as the tram passes each landmark. You can switch to manual mode any time:
- Press Start Audio Tour and board the Light Rail (L2 or L3). All 15 landmarks are shown as numbered pins on the map.
- With GUIDE ON, each landmark is narrated automatically as you pass — with the side it is on ("on your left" / "on your right"). Visited cards move to the bottom.
- Tap GUIDE to turn auto-play off — then tap ▶ Listen on any card to play that landmark manually.
🔴 Reset (red R button, top-left): the guide remembers which landmarks you have already heard on this device and won’t repeat them. If cards look greyed-out (✓ Played) and stay silent as you pass, tap the red R to clear that history and start the whole route again.
