The GROUP TOUR™ is multi-channel radio broadcast system which has been designed as a perfect solution for groups led by a guide or a teacher. It is composed by a transmitter with a small microphone at the disposal of the Guide and by a receiver with headphones for each listener.
The Guide can communicate with every member of the group, speaking quietly and without effort, thus keeping the group compact and respecting other visitors of the Museums, that can enjoy their own visit in silence.

The GROUP TOUR™ allows big numbers of groups to tour the Museums simultaneously within short range from one another.
