Use a mobile app instead of a rented headset system
Download our app to your phone and start a broadcast. Your guests scan a QR code and hear you on their own phones. No rented headsets, no receivers, no case to carry.
Three steps, no headsets to rent
Your phone becomes the transmitter, and each guest’s phone becomes the receiver.
01
Download the app and go live
Install Your Next Tours on your phone and start broadcasting with one tap. Your phone is now your transmitter.
02
Guests scan the QR code
Show the QR code on your screen. Guests scan it with their camera and join your tour, with no account to create.
03
They hear you on their own phone
The listening page opens in the browser. Guests put in their own earphones and listen, without installing anything.
No. When they scan the QR code, the listening page opens in their browser, with no account needed. We do recommend our free mobile app, though: guests get much higher sound quality there.
Does it work where there is no internet?
Yes. A small portable router you carry creates a local WiFi network, and your voice reaches the guests without going over the internet. Where there is a connection, you can broadcast over the internet too.
What if a guest has no earphones?
Most people already carry wired or wireless earphones. Anyone without them can listen through the phone speaker.
How many people can listen at once?
The app sets no limit; the router you use does. Pick a router for your group size and try it before the tour.
How much does it cost?
A free account lets you run short trial broadcasts. Unlimited broadcasting needs a Premium plan, and the yearly plan comes with a 14-day free trial.See plans and prices

Comments from participants
“Very comfortable; we went through the tour without missing a thing, with the hygienic ease of using our own earphones. I would feel something was missing on any future tour without this system. Thank you for catching up with the times and bringing it to us.”
“In noisy areas the system made things easier for both our guides and us. We could keep following even from a distance. Well done to whoever thought of this.”
“An app like this will be genuinely useful for us.”
“The sound quality and the headset experience were great.”
No weight around your neck, no case in your hand
With a rented system everything hangs on the guide: a transmitter around the neck, a cabled microphone on the collar and a case of receivers in hand, from the meeting point to the coach, through the museum door and back again at the end of the day.
No transmitter hanging from your neck
No case of receivers to carry or keep an eye on
No handing out at the start, no counting back at the end
With Your Next Tours the transmitter is the phone already in your pocket. You focus on the story, not on the equipment.
Two things a rented set cannot do
Neither shows up on a quote, and both matter to the people wearing the earpieces.
No cleaning hassle: everyone uses their own earphones
A rented set passes the same earpieces from group to group, and someone has to clean them between tours. With Your Next Tours each guest listens with their own earphones or the phone speaker, so nothing is shared.

No language barrier with live translation
A rented receiver plays one channel in one language. With live translation the guide speaks once and each guest hears it, and reads it as captions, in the language they choose. Live translation needs an internet connection; on a local network without internet the tour plays in the guide’s own language.
The end of an era
Headset sets were never bad. There is just a better way now.
They did their job for years. Today the phones your group already carries do the same job, with nothing to rent, hand out or collect.
What a tour guide system rental costs: the short answer
Rented headset systemAbout €1,320 over a season€1.50–€1.80 per person, per tour
On average 12× cheaper
Your Next Tours, seasonal plan€103.99 for 6 monthsUnlimited broadcasts, whatever the group size
Per tour: about €33 renting, about €2.60 with Your Next Tours
Based on a 6-month season of 40 tours with groups of 20, at an average rental of €1.65 per person. Prices published by rental firms in Turkey are higher still.
Renting a tour guide headset system typically costs €1.50 to €1.80 per person, per tour. For a group of 20 that is around €33 for every tour, before delivery and deposit.
You pay for every person on every tour.
Delivery, deposit and lost-receiver fees come on top, and are usually agreed only when you book.
With Your Next Tours there is nothing to rent: guests listen on the phones they already carry.
Renting headsets or using the phones already in the group
The same tour, two ways to get your voice to it.

Where these systems are rented most
The same kinds of tour come up again and again.
Factory and plant tours
Machines are loud and visitor groups come every week, so a rented set quickly becomes a regular expense.
Pilgrimage groups
Large groups travelling for days, with a leader who has to be heard in crowded places.
School and university trips
Big groups on a fixed budget, where a single lost receiver can turn into an unplanned bill.
Museums and archaeological sites
Echoing halls and other groups nearby. Here a guest’s own earphones do the job just as well.
Cruise shore excursion teams
Big groups off the ship, a tight time window and a rushed hand-out at the port; every receiver has to be back before the ship sails.
Questions guides ask
Why is it hard to find these prices online?
Most rental firms quote on request rather than publishing a price list. The figures on this page are typical per-person rental prices on the market.
Is the price per person or per device?
Per person, per tour. Each listener gets one receiver, so it comes to the same thing unless you rent spares.
How does the price change as the group grows?
With rented headsets the cost grows with the group: every extra guest means another receiver. With Your Next Tours the plan price stays the same whatever the group size.
Can I avoid renting altogether?
Yes, if your group carries smartphones. Your Next Tours turns your phone into the transmitter; guests scan a QR code and listen in their own browser. No receivers, no charging case, and no internet needed during the tour.
Step one is installing the app
Everything above runs from the guide's phone, so that is the only device that needs the app. Your guests carry on scanning a QR code and listening in their browser.
