Tourient: a Clio Muse Tours Audio Guide Alternative
Tourient gives your organization its own customizable self-guided tour platform
Clio Muse Tours (not to be confused with The Clio) is a managed audio-tour producer: travelers buy individual tours through a network of distributors like TripAdvisor, and museums contract Clio Muse's team to research, script, record, and maintain their tours for them.
Tourient takes a different approach: they're a self-serve platform that lets your own staff build, publish, and update unlimited tours in-house, with transparent monthly pricing and time-saving tools.
