Hi! My name is Egor, I'm the founder of the audio guide platform tmatic.travel (formerly known as izi.TRAVEL).
A while ago, we ran into a funny problem — we ended up with too many audio guides. For example, 50+ in Berlin, 100+ in Rome, 200+ in Amsterdam...
Of course, that’s a good thing, because all the guides are different: on different topics and in different areas, for children and adults, in different languages, for those who explore the city on foot or during a morning jog.... But even with lots of filters, choosing the right one can still be frustrating.
That’s we decided to create an interactive map showing all 25,000+ guides! And not just their starting points, but their full routes with all the stops. It allows you to pick a tour based on how close it starts to your hotel, where it ends, how densely filled with stories, whether it goes through wide streets or tiny hidden alleys... And even if the tour is for a museum, you can enter it straight from the map and listen to stories about the exhibits.
🎧 I'd love for you to try it out at tmatic.travel and and let me know what you think.
And maybe even find something interesting for your next walk — even in your own city :)
A few more fun facts about tmatic.travel:
• It’s a free and open platform where anyone (yes, even you!) can publish their own audio guide. Today, we have over 70,000 registered authors from around the world.
• We allow (and actually encourage) authors to distribute their guides for free — that way, more people can listen. That’s why thousands of museums, tourist offices, brands, etc. use our platform. Offering a free audio guide actually helps them sell more tickets or merchandise.
• About 95% of all content is completely free. The rest is available through an affordable Premium Access (e.g. €10 for unlimited access for vacation period).
• The platform includes not just walking and museum tours, but also audio guides for cars, bikes, trains, boats, and more.
• All content is accessible via an API, which allows third-party apps and services to use it. For instance, some car navigation systems now tell stories along the road, and voice assistants guide visitors through museum exhibitions.
• We have a flexible partner program. Mobile operators, travel agencies, museums – even souvenir shops – earn on selling audio guides (sometimes even offline and for cash).
My favorite one.
