Long Live the Music! Ghent, Belgium

For our music exhibition "Long Live the Music" we have used the Guide ID technology to the maximum and on all fronts. This exhibition focuses on experience and in Guide ID we found the ideal (and affordable) partner to realize this. To call the Podcatcher an audioguide here is clearly an understatement. It has become the beating heart of the exhibition.

To realize our wishes, there has been a lot of consultation and support with the technical team of Guide ID who have also tested and adapted their software where necessary. We are very pleased with the result and the cooperation.

George Washington's Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon, VA, USA

The Podcatcher system from Guide ID has truly transformed how we deliver on-site media content to guests at Mount Vernon, the home of George and Martha Washington.

We are able to interpret spaces that we were unable to before, bringing in character voices, music, sound effects and guided narration. The web-based update system allows us to easily manage and publish content with a click of a button, enabling us to update our interpretation content more frequently. This is especially useful to provide context for temporary programs and restoration projects.

Guests also enjoy using the Guide ID system. For an estate that is over 180 acres of walkable land, guests can be here several hours. The compact size and lightweight form factor of the device is more pleasant to tour with and the ability to point and listen to an interpretation point has reduced guest confusion of our previous dial-a-number system. Because of all these intelligent design factors we have been able to double our audio tour sales since the launch of the Guide ID platform.

We couldn't be more happy with Guide ID and the Podcatcher system. It's a platform that we will continue to integrate throughout our entire guest experience.

Trinity Church Boston

Boston, MA, USA

We have a popular docent tour program with only one or two tours each day. We felt it was important to share that same information with all of the visitors that walked through our doors. This audio guide has been essential for the understanding of the underlying story of this national treasure. Guide ID has provided the perfect solution for us and we now are able to fully share the history and beauty of this sacred space.

New York Historical Society

New York, USA

We used Guide ID's Podcatcher's for our 2017 exhibition The Vietnam War. The system worked brilliantly for us. We were able to provide visitors with quick and easy access to multiple audio elements and sync sound videos with this one elegant system. It was also important to us that no headphones were involved since we wanted visitors to be able to talk with each other as they went through the exhibit.

The Guide ID sales and technical support teams were always helpful and pleasant. They spent a good deal of time answering our questions and helping us to plan our program. We would definitely work with them again.

Jewish Museum Berlin

Berlin, Germany

Feedback from our visitors in regards to the Podcatcher device is extremely positive - particularly in regards to the ease of use, the comfortable and light device and the idea to 'collect' content actively via the IDentifier sensors, hence being able to gather knowledge independently.

We are very happy to have Guide ID at our side as a reliable service provider and are more than happy to recommend any collaboration with them.

Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Houston, TX, USA

We were looking for a simple, seamless way to deliver audio in our special exhibitions, and the Guide ID system has been a great solution. Our visitors are happy with how easy the devices are to use, and on the backend, it is simple for us to upload content as needed and access analytic data. Additionally, Guide ID's attractive pricing has enabled us to provide our audio tours at no additional charge to our visitors which has resulted in a dramatic increase in tour usage.

The National Maritime Museum

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

In 2015 we start working with Guide ID’s Podcatcher. We are very pleased and even more important, our visitors are very happy with the audio tour! The players are small but robust and very simple to use, perfect for the indoors and outdoors. Just as simple to use is the data reporting system and content management system. This feature makes content control easy. The audio tour is available in 11 languages. We wanted to offer in-depth information with an easy device without distracting the visitors; the Podcatcher does all that!

USS Midway Museum

San Diego, CA, USA

Our guests love our new Podcatchers and the Guide ID team provided a smooth, successful launch of the new equipment. Besides being simple and fun to use they are just the right size and weight for spending 3-4 hours walking around an aircraft carrier! We are excited about the data collection and reporting capabilities of the Guide ID system and look forward to utilizing all the technical functionality of the small but mighty Podcatcher to further enhance our guest experience.

The Appeltern Gardens

Appeltern, The Netherlands

Guide ID was enthusiastic about our ideas from the start. We did not want just an audio tour, we clearly wanted something interactive. We are happy that they wanted to develop this with up and MapMyVisit in the result of that.

Stockport Air Raid Shelters

Stockport, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom

Wir verwenden die Podcatchers für die Audioführung des Tunnels. Unsere Besucher reichen von große Schulklassen aus bis hin zu zwei Gruppen sowie hin zu alle Alterskategorien. Der Vorteil des Podcatchers ist, dass es für alle geeignet ist. Auch wir sind sehr interessiert in die Ergebnisse der Nutzungsdaten und unserer Umfrage.

Walker Art Gallery

Liverpool, United Kingdom

Wir haben den Podcatcher nicht nur wegen seiner einfachen Bedienung ausgewählt, sondern auch weil es eine minimale Aufsicht des Besucherserviceteams erfordert. Zumal haben wir eine sehr vielfältige Zielgruppe und daher benötigen wir etwas, das für ein breites Publikum gut funktionierbar ist. Der Podcatcher hat alle Anforderungen erfüllt. Die Tatsache, dass die Plattform auch für Besucherstatistiken wichtig ist, sowie unser Shop, Café und besondere Veranstaltungen fördern können ist ein zusätzlicher Bonus. Wir freuen uns darauf, eine weitere Tour für die David Hockney Ausstellung im kommenden Oktober hinzufügen zu können.

Wir können den Podcatcher empfehlen, da er einfach zu bedienen ist. Das System erlaubt außerdem einen individuellen und flexiblen Einsatz und Verwaltung von Tondateien sowie dauerhaftes Monitoring

Plas Mawr

Conwy, Wales

Wir wünschten uns einen Text mit Charakteren, die während der Führung miteinander und mit den Besuchern interagieren. Genau das ist uns gelungen und wir sind mit unserer Führung äußerst zufrieden. Wir bieten die Führung mit dem Podcatcher als Handgerät an.

Kröller-Müller Museum

Otterlo, Niederlande

Wir wollten zu unseren Kunstwerken und Ausstellungsstücken weitere Informationen zur Vertiefung bereitstellen. Wichtigstes Kriterium war dabei, dass die Handhabung einfach sein musste und die Besucher nicht ablenken durfte. Seit der Einführung haben wir viele unterschiedliche Führungen erarbeitet, da die Erstellung einer Führung schnell, unkompliziert und kostengünstig ist.
Herman Tibosch, Koordinator im Bereich Weiterbildung

Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum

Glasgow, Schottland

Wir waren auf der Suche nach einem System, das wir einfach selbst aktualisieren können und das sich in regelmäßigen Abständen aktualisieren lässt. Da wir mit der Podcatcher-Plattform unsere Inhalte selbst überprüfen und täglich aktualisieren können, entspricht es genau unseren Vorstellungen.

Der Königliche Palast

Amsterdam, Niederlande

Der Hauptgrund dafür, dass jedem im Königlichen Palast die Plattform gefällt, liegt darin, dass die Handhabung kinderleicht ist. Nicht nur für uns, auch für unsere Besucher. Wir bieten eine Führung mit allen Höhepunkten und eine Führung speziell für Kinder in acht unterschiedlichen Sprachen an, das hat zu keinerlei Schwierigkeiten geführt. Das bestärkt uns, unsere Führungen stetig auszubauen. Leonie Hangoor, Koordinator
