Explore the city,
synchronized to your trip.
A new type of audio guide for buses, trams, and trains: no app to download, free for passengers, GPS-enabled—right in your browser.
Free for travelers
Your users simply open the audio guide and enjoy it. No paywall, no in-app purchases.
On their phones
All you need is a phone and headphones. No proprietary hardware to distribute or maintain.
No applications
The browser reads the GPS signal and triggers the audio commentary. Scan the QR code, click, and it starts.
Accurate to the nearest meter
L'expérience suit le bus. Si la ligne prend du retard, le lecteur s'adapte sans que l'usager s'en rende compte.
As simple as a video that‘s starting up.
Three simple steps for travelers. Zero hassle for operators. CityTourPlayer handles hosting, distribution, and GPS synchronization.
Scan the QR code
When the bus stops, the passenger scans a QR code displayed in the bus shelter or on the bus.
Hop on board
The web browser opens, requests your location, and starts the tour as soon as the bus begins moving.
Enjoy the trip
At each point of interest, the audio and images play at just the right moment, without you having to do a thing.

Born in the will be 11 in London.
The idea for CityTourPlayer first took shape during a visit to London on the No. 11 bus. The route offered stunning views of the city’s top attractions, but no real-time information. We envisioned a platform that would allow transit companies and cities around the world to create audio tours using their existing networks.
Today, both small and large cities can offer travelers—and their residents—the chance to rediscover their heritage, without needing a private fleet.
