A visitor with earbuds in stands before a 1720 Bruges tapestry in a great hall, holding a phone running the Wexplo audio guide for "The Great Hall Tapestry". A brass STOP 17 plaque and QR code are mounted on the stonework beside the tapestry.
Branded STOP plaques and QR codes integrate cleanly with period interiors, no plastic kiosks, no rented hardware.

Why Wexplo for historic homes

  • Cover every room without staffing every room, one QR by each doorway.
  • Translations for free, your French, German, Spanish, and Japanese visitors all get a native-quality experience.
  • Update the script as new research surfaces, re-narration is one click.
  • Accessibility-ready: transcripts and alt-text on every stop meet EAA/ADA expectations.
  • Free tier handles five stops; paid tiers handle a complete house tour.

Fit for historic homes

Historic homes typically rely on guided tours, printed pamphlets, or, for the lucky ones, a hardware audio-guide rental. Each has a cost: staffing rosters, paper waste, missed languages, equipment depreciation. Curated apps like Bloomberg Connects don't accept the long tail of private historic homes and smaller heritage trusts.

Wexplo replaces all of that with QR codes the visitor scans on arrival. The story plays in any browser, in their language, at their pace. If a school group of 40 arrives, every child has their own guide. If a single visitor wanders in at 2pm, they get the same experience. The script is yours to edit, no waiting on a vendor to push an update.

What a historic home's tour might look like

Five example stops, each one a numbered point on a QR-coded sign or a card on the wall. Visitors scan, listen, walk to the next.

  1. 1The entrance hall, the family who built it, the architect, what makes the period style
  2. 2The library, the books that defined the era, the family's correspondence, what burned and what survived
  3. 3The drawing room, the portraits, the social rituals, who sat where during the famous 1894 dinner
  4. 4The kitchen, the staff hierarchy, the equipment, how a typical dinner-party menu happened
  5. 5The garden, the original planting plan, what was changed, what's being restored now
