Testimonials
Multi-language GPS Commentary Solutions
“The AudioConexus product we brought last year was identified as an opportunity for us to be alone in that offering. We took a leadership position by having an exclusive offer in the Toronto market, which in the tour operator market can be a slow climb. We’re already seeing a great response and enthusiasm from the market. We didn’t anticipate that there would be the initial response there was – we’ve already seen a significant increase in ridership!”
– Cindi Vanden Heuvel, Vice President, Mariposa Cruises

“As we see the tourism industry develop and evolve it becomes more important to work with countries and markets that are not just English speaking… (By servicing foreign language markets) This was the best year the company has ever had! Without AudioConexus, we would have only been able to operate half the buses that we had on our tours. That’s the number one thing with AudioConexus, they made it possible for us to provide a consistent commentary experience without the extra expense of having train drivers in lengthy commentary delivery.”
– Jason Bryant, West Coast Sightseeing

“To me narration is a very important component that attractions like us often undervalue. Every time our trains depart we have one chance to deliver information that either makes or breaks our patrons’ experience and perception of us. By controlling our message and sharing the information we want to share, we ensure that the quality of experience is always great! On our daily train excursions, we want to provide the exact same experience as the people did yesterday and for the people that come tomorrow. It’s not a unique concept – Disney does it, even McDonalds does it.”
– Josh Miller, Station Manager, North Shore Scenic Railway

Thanks!”

READ CASE STUDY
“Developing an app for MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition required an intensive creative process to create an engaging interactive mobile experience, it had to not only support the scientific method, it had to be a part of it. We needed a data-sharing infrastructure built into our iOS app to support public access to information collected from experiments in the exhibition. From research and script writing to design and (app) development, AudioConexus was a true collaborator in developing a new and experimental experience for museum guests. Thanks to the team at AudioConexus we are able to break the boundaries of museum exhibitions.”
– Geoffrey Curley, President & CEO, Geoffrey Curley and Associates

READ CASE STUDY
“The Coca Cola London Eye river cruise is delivered with the ebb and flow of the historic river Thames. This made our project more complex because the tides are constantly changing and AudioConexus took the time to coach the London Eye staff on what was required for the scripts, and helped to create the river cruise tours. The GPS tour systems are easy to use and staff and guests are really pleased with the quality of the commentary making the London Eye happy to work with AudioConexus.”
– Davey Barrett, Show Services Manager, Coca-Cola London Eyes
“Just our first year in having AudioConexus systems for MSC and Costa, it went from a tour that would cancel sometimes due to low participation to selling out almost every call that they were here… We had these people that had been on the tour 12 or 13 times and they came back again and heard our new audio tour and they loved it – it had been the best one they’d ever been on! It’s great when our customers know the product and they love that we’ve improved.”
– Eddie Parish, Operations, Out Islands Charters
Tour Guide Systems
“We are an Events Management company and our purpose for using HearMe tour guide systems was to offer simultaneous translation at an event we were managing. The system worked beautifully well. We had more than 550 delegates in the tented hall, and for test purposes, we walked much outside the hall, and clarity was perfect. I am delighted by your product and wholly endorse it certainly for this use.”
– Deepak Singh, President, Spiritual Journeys
“The HearMe tour guide system makes my tours much better. […] It makes a huge difference. […] If there’s one thing I wish we could do is, inform tourists about the difference between the HearMe and other types of amplification systems. People don’t realize how they’re missing out when they take tours because they can’t hear. With my tours I feel they get the full tour value and more.”
– Annaline Dinkelman, Owner, Wall Street Walks, New York
READ CASE STUDY
“When I’m doing the plant tour where I take the time to explain to visitors all the key improvements in all the key areas of the plant, it takes over an hour. When you’re doing a larger tour when you want people to hear you, you need to speak quite loud for an extended period of time. It gets quite tough on your throat. With this tour system, it’s much easier. Everything has worked properly, but the fact that we bought the system… has resulted in a lot of compliments from our customers.”
– Ilia Chliapnikov Director of Operational Excellence, Martinrea

This is exactly the system that I was looking for!”
