A self-guided audio tour is coming to Columbus in 2021.
Columbus Area Visitors Center Executive Director Karen Niverson said the center hopes to make the tour available in March. She described it as a walking tour focused on architecture “based in and around the downtown area.”
At present, Niverson wasn’t able to say whether there would be a cost to the tour. She also said that the center is still examining software vendors and hardware options for it.
“It’s a concept that we have talked about for a couple of years,” she said. “We’ve just been waiting for the right opportunity — having technology and tour apps that can deliver an experience that we want our guests to have. We wanted to make sure that we could identify a technology that would deliver a really high-caliber guest experience. We feel like the technology has gotten to that point.”
