Self-Guided Tours

Guide Visitors Through Your Story, at Their Own Pace

Once visitors arrive, they want to explore… but not everyone wants a scheduled tour or to move at the same speed.

Self-guided tours give visitors the freedom to explore while still providing the context, stories, and guidance that make the experience meaningful.

Enhanced Visitor Experience (EVE) helps organizations offer self-guided tours that feel natural, educational, and easy to follow… without adding staff workload.

The Challenge With Traditional Tours

Not Every Visitor Fits a Schedule

Guided tours play an important role, but they can be limiting.

Many visitors:

  • Arrive outside scheduled tour times

  • Prefer to explore independently

  • Move faster or slower than a group

  • Want to focus on what interests them most

At the same time, staffing tours consistently isn’t always practical. Organizations need a way to guide visitors without requiring constant facilitation.

A Better Way to Guide On-Site Exploration

Structure Without Restriction

Enhanced Visitor Experience self-guided tours combine storytelling and location awareness to guide visitors through exhibits, landmarks, or districts while letting them stay in control of the pace.

As visitors move through a space, relevant stories, audio, and content are delivered automatically based on where they are.

Visitors feel guided, not managed.

Designed for Real-World Spaces

Built to Work Where Visitors Explore

  • Narrated audio storytelling

  • Written context and descriptions

  • Photos and visual references

Who Self-Guided Tours Are For

Self-guided tours work especially well for:

  • Museums and historical sites

  • Gardens, zoos, and cultural attractions

  • Downtowns and Main Streets

  • Visitor centers and destinations

  • Communities with dispersed points of interest

If visitors move through your space independently, self-guided tours are a natural fit.

What Organizations Gain

With self-guided tours in place, organizations can:

  • Offer consistent interpretation without staffing constraints

  • Support visitors who prefer independent exploration

  • Extend storytelling beyond signage

  • Improve accessibility and flexibility

  • Provide a modern, visitor-friendly experience

Visitors don’t feel rushed. They feel informed.

What Our Users Are Saying

★★★★★

Enhanced Visitor Experience has been a life saver for our organization!

“EVE has increased the knowledge of our museums to our visitors, and I don’t have to rely so much on volunteer staffing. The biggest benefit of the app has been more exposure for our visitors to learn about our 14 museums through a self-guided tour and participants enjoy using the application. As president I feel better that our visitors are getting a much better experience for the price of admission.”
