Buckle up for an exhilarating UK expedition! With Guide-ID’s top-notch audio guide solutions, I explored Cheddar Gorge’s beauty, delved into Beezeum’s captivating wonders, and soaked in the history of Portchester Castle, HMS Victory, and Hailes Abbey. The enchantment of Castell Coch left me breathless. Join me on this thrilling adventure!
Nature’s Playful Dance: Exploring Cheddar Gorge and Caves
My adventure began amidst nature’s playful dance at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Armed with Guide-ID’s audio guides, I felt like a time-traveling adventurer in a quirky theme park. The stalactites tried to drop jokes on my head, and the stalagmites seemed to do a boogie just for laughs. The audio guides brought the rocks to life, narrating tales of hilarious geologic mischief that made me chuckle along the way.
The Newt of Somerset: A Hoot with Time’s Royalty
At The Newt of Somerset’s Beezeum, past and present mingled like royalty at a grand ball. Armed with Guide-ID’s audio guides, I became a history detective, uncovering epic pranks and tales of lords and ladies. Time travel and high society mixed, creating a delightful and surreal experience. Peanut butter and pickles had nothing on this extraordinary blend of history and modernity.
Medieval Madness at Portchester Castle
Onward I went, into the medieval madness at Portchester Castle. With Guide-ID’s audio guides as my witty wingmen, I couldn’t help but fancy myself as a history rockstar! Armed with a mental suit of Armor and a pretend sword, I strutted around the castle like a medieval hero on a mission. The audio guides took on the personas of quirky characters, making me feel like I was in a Monty Python sketch - medieval style!

Sailing Shenanigans Aboard HMS Victory
Ahoy there! Boarding HMS Victory, I set sail on the high seas of history. With Guide-ID’s audio guides as my first mates, the ship seemed to take on a life of its own. The cannons roared, the sails swayed, and I found myself doing my best pirate impressions - “Arrr matey!” The audio guides joined in on the pirate lingo, and we had a jolly good time pretending to be swashbuckling buccaneers on the hunt for treasure.
Hailes Abbey: Ghostly Goofs and Giggles
Amidst the haunting ruins of Hailes Abbey, I was greeted by ghostly whispers and giggles from the past. With Guide-ID’s audio guides as my playful phantoms, I felt like I was in a real-life Scooby-Doo mystery. We laughed and pretended to be ghostbusters, unravelling the spooky tales and turning the ruins into our own ghostly playground.
A Fairytale Fiesta at Castell Coch
My final stop led me to a fairytale fiesta at Castell Coch. With its whimsical towers and dreamy atmosphere, it was a fairy tale come to life. With Guide-ID’s audio guides as my fairytale companions, we danced like Disney characters through the castle’s corridors. Dragons were not allowed to gatecrash, but we pretended we were knights on a mission to save the day!

Business success means getting up more than you fall down. The Netherlands is yet again covered in a blanket of snow. Cue chaos in the media and on the streets. The national weather agency issues the highest weather alert code, and everyone’s on their guard. Nobody wants to slip. But I take a slightly different view: I know how much there is to learn from slipping up – figuratively. Although the time between falling and getting back on your feet can be quite painful, these are the moments that provide the most valuable lessons.Business success means getting up more than you fall down.

Building inclusive visitor experiences, where to start? At Guide-ID it’s in our DNA to help our clients tell their stories. Audio guides can open up your museum and make it accessible to all, in ways that you may not yet have considered. Here, we’d like to share with you how we can help you become more inclusive, using the options our audio guides have to offer. Let’s start by sharing the first step towards ‘all-inclusive’ storytelling. When creating an audio guide, start by asking yourself these three easy questions: who, what, where?Building inclusive visitor experiences, where to start?

Enrich your content with a diversity of perspectives. Connect to your audience by 'speaking their language' in audio tour content. I believe that museums are the mirrors of our society. This is because the collections they display and stories they tell appeal to a diverse audience. When I embarked on my career in the museum sector over 20 years ago, educational services were a hot topic. Museums had begun organizing guided tours and workshops for schools and groups, and placed labels and texts for individual visitors (although these were still often written in technical jargon). This was the point at which museums became even more accessible – you no longer had to be an art expert to understand what an exhibition was about.Enrich your content with a diversity of perspectives.

The In Flanders Fields Museum comes back to life It certainly felt good to see a sign reading ‘FULLY BOOKED’ outside a museum. The In Flanders Fields Museum (IFFM), like many other Belgian museums, sold out during the Easter holidays. The weather and the Belgian travel ban undoubtedly made a difference. Museums, including the IFFM, remarked that many visitors were people who would not normally visit museums.The In Flanders Fields Museum comes back to life
