How GuidAir works
No long manuals or small print. The visual step by step, for guides and for the group.
The explainer video
From the guide's backpack to the group's ears
Switch on the router
The GuidAir router creates its own network, no wifi or mobile data needed.
Activate your pass
The tour time starts counting the moment you activate your hours pass.
Create the tour and share the code
The app gives you a code like 1234 for the group to join.
Speak live
Your voice reaches every connected participant in real time.
Follow the map
See the group on the offline map, in real time.
Manage the group
Mute participants, pause the broadcast or open private channels whenever you need.
Download GuidAir Tour
It is the free app for the group. You install it only once.
Download your language before the tour
Using data or wifi, before you start. That way you use no data during the visit.
Connect to the guide's wifi
The tour network is created by the guide's router; you use no data.
Enter the tour code
The guide gives you a code like 1234. Type it and you are in.
Choose your language
Pick the language in which you want to read or hear the guide's translation.
Listen, read and follow the map
Listen to the guide with headphones and read the transcript, in any language you like (also in the guide's own language: ideal if you have hearing difficulties). You will see where the group is on the map.
Download the one for you
GuidAir and GuidAir Tour are two different apps: one for the guide and one for the group.
GuidAir
The guide's app. Create the tour, speak live and control the group.
GuidAir Tour
The group's app. Join with the tour code and listen to the guide.
Simultaneous translation on each person's phone
Each client picks their language in GuidAir Tour and their phone transcribes and translates what the guide says, sentence by sentence: they read it on screen and, if they want, hear it with a synthetic voice.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need internet or mobile data during the tour?
No. The router creates its own local network and the audio and map travel over it. Before leaving you do need a connection to buy hours and download the maps.
How many people can connect at once?
Up to 60 participants per router.
Does the map work without coverage?
Yes. Maps are downloaded before the tour and work 100% offline.
Does everyone need the same app?
No. The guide uses GuidAir (paid app) and the group uses GuidAir Tour (free).
