What is an Audio Tour?

An audio tour is a digital guide that offers visitors a narrated journey through a museum, gallery, or historic site, providing detailed insights into its exhibits, architecture, and history. 

Equipped with headphones and a device, such as a smartphone or a provided player, guests can explore at their own pace, selecting topics that interest them most. 

Why Book an Audio Tour?

Booking an audio tour enhances the visit by offering expert knowledge, fascinating stories, and contextual background that might otherwise be missed. 

It bridges the gap between self-guided wandering and guided tours, combining the freedom to move as you please with the depth of a curated experience. 

For those seeking a comprehensive understanding of their surroundings without the constraints of a group tour, an audio tour is an invaluable resource.
