The problem
Premium tours still start at a rental counter.
A deposit, every tour
Cash down at the rental counter before every tour — and back to the counter at day's end to recover it. Cash held hostage every working day.
New earphones, every tour
A new wired earphone bought for every traveller, every tour. The cost lands on you, not the rental supplier.
The same scramble, every tour
Charge receivers, hand out, pair, recollect, return. While guests wait at the door, you're working the equipment, not the tour.
How it works
Three steps. One minute.
01
Start a room
Tap once in the app. You get a 6-letter code for today's tour.
02
Travellers join
They type the code or tap your tour nearby. No signup, no personal details.
03
Go live
Voice and chat, phone to phone over Wi-Fi. Your voice reaches everyone in under half a second.
No SIM cards, no cloud — audio stays on the local network, so it works even where there's no internet at all. If the Wi-Fi blips, the broadcast recovers by itself. Travellers stay anonymous: no email, no account, no personal data.
The difference
Same tour. Different morning.
