Audio tour

An audio tour or audio guide provides a recorded spoken commentary, normally through a handheld device, to a visitor attraction such as a museum or an exhibition. They are also available for self-guided tours of outdoor locations, or as a part of an organised tour. It provides background, context, and information on the things being viewed.

Audio guides are often in multilingual versions and can be made available in different ways.
Some of the more elaborate tours may include original music and interviews.
They are traditionally rented on the spot, more recently downloaded from the Internet, or available via the mobile phone network.
