Sightseeing Tour Commentary
Tour buses
Having created and delivered multilingual tours that inform and entertain millions of tourists around the world, nobody knows more than Oxford Voice about the idiosyncrasies of tour bus commentaries.
We know that you will want to encourage customers to leave your tours at certain points to maximise seat availability, or to promote visits to your commercial partners’ attractions.
We know the importance of communicating the length of the operating day and last tour times to ensure that no guests become stranded come the evening.
We will share our experience to steer you away from technical errors or flawed decisions that will inevitably have already been made by others over the years. We will be as passionate as you in managing the do’s and don’ts of first-class tour commentary to present both of our organisations as industry experts.
River cruises
We understand that you will want to encourage customers to leave your boats at busy piers and board at quieter ones to better manage vessel capacity, or to promote visits to your commercial partners’ attractions. Similarly, keeping customers on the boat to maximise F&B revenues can be facilitated by the wording of the commentary and the timing of particular suggestions.
We know the importance of communicating the length of the operating day and last departure times to ensure no guest becomes stranded in the evening and misses that crucial theatre show they have booked.
Helping out
The team at Oxford Voice is more than happy to help and advise you as much or as little as you want with all aspects of your audio content; from fact-checking and “translatability” to the detailed, technical know-how that makes all the difference to the finished product.
We pride ourselves on being utterly reliable and just as pragmatic as our clients need us to be. We can deliver completed work to your operations anywhere in the world - instantly and securely.
We don’t only offer the translation, the native readers, and the very highest standards of recording. We can write the entire script for you, or work with your local experts to share the load and harness the creative potential of both organisations’ expertise.
The same prices apply for our work in every language – there is no discriminatory pricing for the different alphabets, scripts or writing systems in use around the world.
File lengths and run-times are all managed to facilitate simultaneous playback in every language.
We'd love to talk about how we can help and support your business.

“New York’s a fast-moving, dynamic place to run a sightseeing tour - and Richard’s personal knowledge of living in New York has made an invaluable contribution to our Big Apple script. We like using Oxford Voice. It just works”.
Julia Conway, EVP North America, Big Bus Tours
“We have used Oxford Voice for many years. Their friendly and professional team always delivers to a very high standard”
Alistair Brockbanks, Head of Service Delivery, The Original Tour
“From start to finish, Oxford Voice were helpful, professional and prompt. They analyzed our script and made suggestions on how to improve it, far beyond what we had expected from them. The fact that we operate our tours from the opposite end of the planet made no difference at all!”
