Hi Sebastián, what I would do (as already said before):
1) let users decide if they want to download it or not (ie make available both options - streaming online and SD card storage), 2) let users decide which tours to download, 3) make the files publicly available so users can download them on their laptops/desktops and then transfer the files via USB (ie have an option inside your application to select the folder containing files), 4) write a FAQ about all this inside your application. That should do the trick. And of course - if offline storage is specified and not found, alert user and make it immediately possible to stream online.
