Finding the right tour guide system: We are providing an overview
Are systems only suitable for tours and guides 4 applications for tour guide systems which you have not thought of yet.
Museum tours, factory tours, tour guides and sightseeing tours: those are typical applications for a tour guide system. However, tour guide systems are always useful if a person has to maintain voice contact with one or more people - at least one-way. In other words, tour guide systems are basically suitable for far more scenarios than just museums and sightseeing. We have got four applications with a list of various devices and requirements. They can be included in your planning or be used for advice on planning PA systems.
- Communication between coach and athlete
- Translation at international conferences and lectures
- Support in case of hearing loss
- Wireless audio streaming
The fundamental question is simply which device for which requirement? This is how we are testing tour guide systems
Tour guide systems are suitable for versatile use: 4 applications scenarios
Customers often call us and roughly know for which scenario they need a solution. During the conversation it becomes clear that the customer does not really need a fixed installation or a traditional portable PA system . Instead, they need a tour guide system. Many installers and expert planners are often surprised because they have always underestimated the performance of a good tour guide system .
Many newcomers are surprised that some tour guide systems are capable of bidirectional communication.
It is also possible to use our tour guide systems for wireless communication with each other, instead of hand-held radios . Please find listed below 4 different application scenarios.
1. Tour guide systems for communication between coach and athlete
Trainers for equestrian sports are more frequently using tour guide systems. Trainers and students stay in contact via small wireless systems. This does not only work in equestrian sports but in all kinds of sports where the trainer has to observe and instruct the student from a distance. Another example would be track cycling. A trainer could also instruct an entire team with the transmitter of a tour guide system.
Please note the following:
If you are using a tour guide system in sports, you should be able to attach it to your belt or clothes or store it in your clothes. For this purpose, a lanyard is not practical because athletes move around a lot. You should also make sure that the athlete is able to operate the tour guide system almost blindfolded. Thus, the system should have large switches or potentiometers, i.e. it should be easy to operate, even with gloves on. Also pay attention to the operating range of the tour guide system. What is the maximum distance between athlete and coach?
2. Tour guide systems for translation at international conferences and lectures
At multilingual conferences, a tour guide system can transmit live translations to respective listeners.
The procedure will be as follows: the primary language at the conference will be German. The German speaker transmits his or her presentation in the normal way to the PA speakers in the hall using a microphone at the speaker's desk . International guests will become receivers of a tour guide system, the interpreter a transmitter .
Thus, translations can be done live and in a flexible way. This is because an interpreter can send the translation to any number of recipients via a tour guide system. The user is not linked to permanently installed PA technology and can pass on the transmitter and receiver as required. You can of course also use stationary transmitters as an alternative. The tour guide system attenuates the noise level in the room using headphones.
Please note: think about how many transmitters you need to use in parallel. Four transmitters and, therefore, four translators are often possible in the frequency range 863 MHz-865 MHz which is licence-free. However, it would be the maximum amount. If several speakers are using one tour guide system to transmit their speech during a discussion, a hand-held microphone may be useful. The presenter can pass this on to the next speaker more easily than a clip-on microphone or headset.
3. Support in case of hearing loss
A tour guide system supports people who need a different volume level during the PA application. In case some listeners have loss of hearing, a tour guide system can also help here. This can be in church or at lectures or conferences. You can use regular speakers for the main sound transmission and give a tour guide system to people with a hearing loss. People who need assistance can use the tour guide system to choose their own volume level, independent of the other listeners in the room.
If you need to implement a wireless PA system because the building is listed or cables are not an option, a tour guide system can be a useful alternative.
Please note the following: in case of hearing loss, a tour guide system can assist you in two ways. Firstly, through a louder speech transmission. Secondly, you could connect a portable induction loop to the tour guide system. This can simply be inserted into the jack connection of the tour guide's pocket receiver. The signal of the induction loop is transmitted directly to the T-coil of the hearing aid.
4. Tour guide systems for wireless audio streaming
The additional line input of some of the transmitters of our tour guide systems provides an additional option for application: wireless audio streaming and speech transmission to the PA system. One example is a mixer which is connected to active speakers. If cables have been forgotten or cabling is not possible, you can also use a tour guide system. The transmitter of the tour guide system is connected to the sound source, the receivers to the active speakers .
For this purpose, you should preferably use an analogue tour guide system due to the better sound. For a mono transmission, e.g. background music, one transmitter-receiver path is sufficient. For a stereo transmission, two transmitters and two receivers are required.
The fundamental question is simply which device for which requirement?
Analogue or digital tour guide systems, advantages of digital tour guide systems.
- Digital tour guide systems are tap-proof .
- Half-duplex or full-duplex: recipient can answer the guide and ask questions.
Advantages of analogue tour guide systems
- The sound quality is often better. This can particularly make a difference with audio streaming.
We are testing, documenting, sending the device back, are testing again - the same applies to a tour guide system
By no means do we want to cover certain adjoining sectors and reduce our technology accordingly. We simply cannot and will not do that. Experienced technicians test every tour guide system in detail, just like Frank Kuhl does in the PA section. For this purpose, we have our own workshop.
We take the whole series apart, test the operating range and sound quality. We are testing the devices in real application scenarios and not just under laboratory conditions.
If the device passes these tests, it will be included in our product range, otherwise it will not. In addition to various technical measurement checks, we are also testing the following:
- Is the operating range as specified by the manufacturer?
- How is the noise behaviour?
- How is the sound impression?
- Especially with integrated rechargeable batteries: how long does it take to charge?
- Do accessories meet their requirements?
- Is the running time of the battery sufficient?
- Is the device robust or will it break immediately if it falls down?
- Is the device easy to use or very complicated?
- How robust is the antenna?
- Is the device service-friendly, can it still be repaired? Or is it irreparable if there is a small defect?
If you have questions about tour guide systems, our technical project management will be happy to help you with the selection or planning.

How to Find the Best Tour Guide System
When it comes to organizing a successful tour or event, a reliable and efficient tour guide system is essential. A tour guide system enhances communication between the guide and the participants, ensuring a seamless and informative experience for everyone involved.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Tour Guide System
With numerous options available in the market, it can be challenging to determine the best tour guide system for your specific needs.
In this article, we will discuss some key factors to consider when selecting a tour guide system to help you make an informed decision.
Audio Quality
One of the most important aspects of a tour guide system is clear and reliable audio transmission. Look for a system that offers high-quality audio, allowing the guide’s voice to be heard clearly by all participants, even in noisy environments.
Ensure that the system utilizes advanced noise-canceling technology to eliminate background noise interference, ensuring optimal communication.
Range & Coverage
Consider the size and nature of your tours or events when evaluating the range and coverage of a tour guide system. If you plan to conduct tours in large areas or open spaces, opt for a system with a long transmission range. Alternatively, if you anticipate conducting tours in indoor settings or smaller venues, a system with adequate coverage within confined spaces would be suitable.
Ease of Use
A user-friendly tour guide system is crucial, both for the guide and the participants. Look for systems that are easy to set up and operate, with intuitive controls and clear instructions. The system should have features like automatic channel synchronization, quick pairing capabilities, and an easy-to-read display, ensuring hassle-free usage.
Battery Life & Charging Options
Consider the battery life of the tour guide system, as it directly impacts its usability. A long-lasting battery is essential to ensure uninterrupted operation throughout the tour or event.
Additionally, explore the charging options provided by the system. Look for systems that offer convenient charging solutions, such as docking stations or portable chargers , to keep the devices powered up without disruption.
Group Size & Scalability
Determine the maximum number of participants you expect to cater to and ensure that the tour guide system can accommodate your needs. Some systems have a limited number of receivers or are not easily scalable. Opt for a system that allows for easy expansion, allowing you to add more receivers as your group size grows.
Durability & Portability
Consider the durability and portability of the tour guide system , especially if you plan to conduct tours in various locations or outdoor environments. The system should be rugged enough to withstand frequent use and potentially adverse conditions. Look for lightweight and compact devices that are easy to carry and transport, enabling flexibility for your tours.
Additional Features
Explore the additional features offered by different tour guide systems. Some systems may provide features like simultaneous interpretation capabilities, pre-recorded audio options, or the ability to integrate with multimedia devices. Assess these features based on your specific requirements and choose a system that aligns with your tour objectives.
Customization & Flexibility in Tour Guide Systems
When choosing a tour guide system, it’s important to consider the level of customization and flexibility it offers. A one-size-fits-all approach may not meet the specific needs of your tours or events. Look for systems that allow you to tailor the experience to your unique requirements.
Here are some key aspects to consider:
Language Options
If your tours involve participants from different language backgrounds, having language options is crucial. Look for tour guide systems that offer multiple language channels or have the capability for real-time language interpretation.
This feature ensures that participants can fully engage with the content and understand the tour information, regardless of their language proficiency.
Content Customization
Consider whether the tour guide system allows you to customize the content according to the specific theme, location, or interests of your tours. Some systems provide the flexibility to upload pre-recorded audio files, allowing you to create personalized narratives and add relevant information or anecdotes. This customization can greatly enhance the engagement and enjoyment of participants during the tour.
Tour Format & Structure
Different tours may require different formats or structures. Some tour guide systems offer flexibility in organizing the tour itinerary, allowing you to easily adapt to different routes, durations, or points of interest.
Look for systems that provide features like waypoint navigation, tour branching, or the ability to organize tours into sections, ensuring a seamless and well-structured experience.
Interactive Features
Engaging participants through interactive features can make the tour experience more immersive and enjoyable. Consider whether the tour guide system offers interactive elements such as quizzes, surveys, or games.
Another feature with transceivers, such as the Williams Sound Digi Wave series, is bidirectional communication. This means that the audience can engage in Q and A.
These features can add an element of fun and interactivity, encouraging active participation and knowledge retention among participants.
Real-time Feedback & Analytics
To continuously improve your tours and understand participant preferences, look for tour guide systems that provide real-time feedback and analytics. This feature enables you to gather valuable insights on participant engagement, satisfaction levels, and areas for improvement.
With access to such data, you can make informed decisions to enhance future tours and deliver an exceptional experience.
Device Compatibility
Consider the compatibility of the tour guide system with various devices. Some systems offer compatibility with smartphones, tablets, or wearable devices, providing participants with the flexibility to use their preferred devices.
This compatibility allows participants to have a familiar interface and enhances their overall experience during the tour.
Key Takeaways
Selecting the best tour guide system is crucial for ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for both the guide and the participants. By considering factors such as audio quality, range and coverage, ease of use, battery life, scalability, durability, and additional features, you can make an informed decision that meets the unique needs of your tours or events.
Take the time to research and compare different systems, read user reviews, and seek recommendations from industry professionals to find the perfect tour guide system for your specific requirements.

Both solutions deliver remarkable experiences to enrich the travel journeys of adventurers seeking unforgettable explorations, each offering distinct features that set them apart from the competition. VoiceMap specializes in B2C paid audio tours and stands out with its advanced tour preview and web version features. On the other hand, SmartGuide has gained significant traction in the market, even though it was launched three years later than VoiceMap. It boasts three times more destinations and five times more users. SmartGuide goes beyond individual tours and offers comprehensive destination guides that include information on specific points of interest, destination insights, experiences, services, and more. SmartGuide also offers additional smart functions, such as data analytics, user messaging, API integrations, and personalized recommendations. It supports a wider range of languages and provides a considerable amount of free content and functions. In contrast, VoiceMap has limited free tour options and restrictions on free tour generation and duration.
In summary, while both VoiceMap and SmartGuide provide CMS for publishing audio tours, SmartGuide offers a more extensive range of destinations, advanced features, and greater language support. It also provides a larger amount of free content and functions, making it a comprehensive and versatile choice for those seeking a digital audio guide platform.

About Tour Guide Systems
A typical tour guide system comprises a wireless microphone and a number of wireless receivers. The Guide or Interpreter talks into the microphone and the delegates or visitors listen to the commentary or simultaneous translation through a headset or headphone. The message will get through to the visitor clearly without the guide having to shout to compete with noisy machinery or interpreter interrupting a meeting whilst they provide a translation.
Our range of tour guide systems offer maximum flexibility with minimum fuss. The tour guide system does away with sore throats for tour guides, confusion and frustration for the group tour party.
The radio group guide systems that we provide can be easily operated without any previous knowledge or experience of the equipment, easy-to-follow instructions are included, and you can call us or contact us online anytime for support. We have an enviable reputation for delivering first-class customer service. Here at Tourguide-SYSTEMS from Apple Sound Ltd, that's what we do - so you can be assured of the very best advice and service.
How do You Use a Tour Guide System?
Once the receivers and/or headsets are distributed to the group, the Tour Guide or Event Leader simply turns on a radio microphone transmitter and speaks to the audience via a hand held or head worn microphone. The group tour members then adjust their own volume to a level that is comfortable to them.
The lightweight, wireless radio receivers are comfortable to wear, even for long periods - receivers available with battery-life of up to 24 hours.
What are our Tour Guide Systems are Ideal for?
- Guided Tours of museums, public gatherings, sports ground and arenas, historical buildings, art galleries - both indoors and outdoors
- Noisy Environments – such as a noisy factory tours
- Assistive Listening or Radio aid system for hearing impaired persons (using a hearing aid with telecoil for induction loop)
- Simultaneous Translation for multilingual meetings, or sim. tran. system
- Silent Conference , presentations at exhibitions and for multiple breakout sessions working in the same space, just select the channel on the receiver; open-plan halls and within temporary structures like a marquee inflatable dome. (Its like a silent disco but without the flashing lights.)
The Tour Guide Microphone
The microphone can be hand held type - convenient to pass to members of the tour group for occasional questions, or a head-worn type which operates through a belt-worn radio transmitter – leaving the guide with their hands free to point out interesting features. Two-way speech tour guide systems are also available for Q&A with your tour group (talkback), or to allow full discussion between all participants (ideal for team training ).
The Tour Party Listeners
The receivers can be either the one-piece Sennheiser ‘stethoset’ style - worn hanging from the ears, or a belt-pack type - using earpieces or tour guide headphones to relay the sound. Belt pack receivers can also be used in conjunction with ‘ear defender’ headphones for very noisy environments and with a ‘neck loop’ for hearing aid users (with T-position). Some of our tour guide systems provide a talkback function for your tour participants to ask questions and there are also systems that provide open two-way speech (full-duplex). All available to hire or to buy.
Self-Guided Tours
An audioguide allows visitors to listen to pre-recorded commentary on a portable handset - the audioguide operates independently - so you guests can select information tracks on a self-guided tour, indoors or out. The devices can also be triggered to automatically play at specific points on the tour. Read more ...

The rapid development of tourism industry will be accompanied by a large number of tourism data and information, and the development of tourism information system in different regions is unbalanced, and tourism information is basically not shared, so it is inevitable to adopt cloud computing technology to support the tourism system. This paper collects and analyzes the cases of cloud computing technology used in tourism industry at home and abroad, combined with its advantages and disadvantages, uses the idea of SOA to model services and data, and then puts forward the architecture of tourism cloud services. According to the characteristics of tourism business, the system construction of tourism cloud platform is divided into three parts: Tourism private cloud, tourism exclusive cloud and tourism public cloud. And the tourism private cloud platform for specific planning and design. In view of the rapid growth of tourism data, this paper also proposes a recommendation algorithm based on the information of tourists and scenic spots, which combines the collaborative filtering algorithm based on users and the information recommendation algorithm based on geographical location, so as to push more accurate information to tourists. Finally, due to the increasing number of free travelers, this paper develops an intelligent navigation system based on Android Application on the basis of cloud platform. The system mainly includes three service modules: scenic spot information service, tourists can query the basic information of scenic spots, tour group information, etc.; tour guide service, tourists can query the route, GPS Location, nearby search, weather forecast, etc.; tour strategy service, tourists can query the strategy of scenic spots, upload and release the strategy, and view and download offline maps. Through demand analysis and design, the Intelligent Tourism guidance system based on cloud computing platform is realized, which not only reduces the pressure of processing a large number of data and the state of insufficient information sharing, but also meets the needs of free travelers.
