Tommy Talk™ on Tour

A guide waiting at every stop.

What is it?

A guide waiting at every stop on a trail. Visitors scan a QR code on a sign, map or leaflet, and a character who knows that spot greets them, answers their questions and shows them the way to the next stop.

Its stories, its odd corners and the way on, on any phone. There's no app to download.

What a visitor does

Scan, meet, and on to the next

  1. Scan the sign

    Any phone camera opens the guide straight away, right at that stop.

  2. Meet the guide

    A greeting about the very spot they're standing on, then ask anything.

  3. “Take me there”

    One tap for walking directions to the next stop on the trail.

What the visitor's phone shows

The stop's own page: where they are, a greeting about the very spot, and a guide who'll answer anything and point the way.

Every stop gets its own code, so the guide always knows where you're standing.

Stop 2 of 6The Old Bridge
  1. Welcome to the Old Bridge! Packhorses crossed here for four hundred years. Look for the worn groove in the parapet.
  2. Which way to the next stop?
  3. Over the bridge and left along the river. The old mill is five minutes' walk.
  4. Take me there

Walk a live trail with me

A full town trail is up and running, with a guide waiting at every stop. I'll walk you through it privately, on a video call or in person: scan a stop, ask the guide anything, and follow the way to the next one.

It can be anyone

Same guide, any character

You, a mascot or a local legend. The guide is built for your place, and the character is whoever suits it best.

Let me hand you over to someone who's been here a bit longer…

A bit longer? Since 871, young man. Follow me.
