About us
Your trip, made simple.
Le Way Go combines tickets to the attractions you came to see with the Le Way Go City Guide, our smart travel app, so you spend less time searching and more time exploring.
Our story
How it all started
The idea for Le Way Go began while I was a student in California. A friend of mine worked for a local tour operator in San Francisco, and through him I saw the same story again and again: visitors struggling to find the right tickets, then spending their day googling every question. Where do I catch the ferry? How early should I arrive? What should I see first? Where can we eat nearby?
As a software engineer, I knew there was a better way. I started building a solution that brings everything together in one place: the right tickets, clear guidance, and an app that answers your questions before you even ask them. My goal was simple: make every trip easier for families, couples, seniors and solo travelers alike.
Why “Le Way Go”?
The name comes from a summer I spent in France: three months in Paris, learning French. That time left a mark on me: the joy of discovering a new city, the confusion of figuring it out alone, and the people who helped me find my way. I wanted our name to carry a little of that French spirit.
Le Way Go is a playful nod to “let’s go”: an invitation to stop worrying about the details and simply enjoy the journey.
What makes us different
Where travel meets technology
We combine two worlds. Our experience in tourism shows us what travelers really need on the ground. Our background in software lets us build tools that solve those problems. Every feature in our app comes from a real question a real traveler asked.
With Le Way Go, you get
- Tickets to top attractions, bundled with everything you need to enjoy them
- Audio tours for the whole city, not only the attraction you visit. Five audio tours in New York and five in San Francisco, with more neighborhoods coming
- Self-guided, at your own pace: no group to keep up with
- Offline listening: download your audio tours in the app and they play without a cell signal on the islands
- Practical tips: when to arrive, what to bring, what to expect at security
- City guides with must-see places, local restaurants and easy 1 to 3 day itineraries
- Live availability, so you always see what is really open, even for last-minute plans
- Real support by phone, text and email, 7 days a week
