The tour guide business model has traditionally relied on fair weather conditions that allow for a group of people to be led through set points of interest by an expert storyteller, in the guide’s language, on a specific schedule. So what happens when the weather suddenly turns or when a traveler’s schedule changes at the last minute?

Now via the UCPlaces app, that same experience can be achieved by a family or solo traveler popping in earbuds or connecting to their car’s speakers and easily selecting one of the UCPlaces GPS-led tours, prerecorded by that same expert tour guide, on the customer’s schedule and in their language. Guides can brand their tours on the app and offer them via email lists and social media platforms to their customer base as another great way to enjoy their content.

Tour guides who sign up for UCPlaces membership receive an Expert badge, listing priority on the UCPlaces app and website, as well as the possibility of Expert exclusivity in their defined area of expertise.
