Audio guide for tourist trains
Your tourist train tells the story of the route. In every language.
A dedicated app that manages the tour commentary: the story starts at the right moment, through the onboard speakers or on each passenger’s smartphone.

Pilot project
A train in a safari park in Piedmont
The route is divided into four zones, each with its own introduction. When an animal comes into view, the driver plays its story through the train’s speakers.
Do you run a wildlife park or a zoo?
With ZooXpress visitors listen to the story of every animal, even when they explore the park on foot.

Frequently asked questions about the audio guide for tourist trains
What is TrainXpress?
It’s GuideXpress’s app for tourist trains: it manages the tour’s audio commentary, through the onboard speakers or on each passenger’s smartphone, in their own language.
Speakers or passengers’ smartphones: which is better?
It depends on the tour. Speakers deliver a single story to the whole train; smartphones let each passenger listen in their own language, with headphones, even in traffic.
Does the story start on its own?
Yes, if you choose geolocated activation: each piece of content starts when the train reaches the point on the route. Alternatively, the driver starts it manually from the onboard tablet or smartphone.
Who prepares the content?
We can write and produce it for you, with professional voices, or start from your own texts.
Does it work on a train inside a park?
Yes. Our pilot project is a train in a safari park in Piedmont: an introduction for each zone and, when an animal comes into view, the driver plays its story through the onboard speakers.
How much does TrainXpress cost?
It depends on the route and on the number of stops and languages. Fill in the “Request information” form: we’ll get back to you to learn about your tour and send you a tailored proposal.
