Earphone Guide System
We use an earphone guide system during the tour to:
・ Deliver the guide’s voice securely to each participant while keeping proper social distance.
・ Enable communication within the group.
How it works ….
Without the earphone guide system the guide and guests need to huddle due to city bustling.
With the earphone guide system you can keep proper social distancing (audible up to 50 meter range).
