LiveTours Audio System

Until the 1 meter rule is lifted, Henrietta Ferguson Ltd works with the LiveTours audio system as standard. For this, each participant can install the LiveTours app on their smartphone before the tour and bring their own earplugs or headset. LiveTours is a user-friendly, hygienic and pleasant tool for giving and following tours. For the public, it works perfectly well to understand the guide when you cannot get close to the tour guide or when you are in a busy, noisy environment. The guide can send live photos to the group via the app, so that the tour is provided with more context and dimension.
