CastleBooqi for castles and estates open to visitors

One estate guide in every language that visitors keep: the route, the story and the highlights in hand, and a QR for the café, shop, events and the next visit.

CastleBooqi is a hybrid visitor guide for castles and estates: visitors keep a pocket-sized CastleBooqi with the estate map, the route and the story in their own language, and the QR code opens BooqiConnect, the digital guide with the café, shop, events and tickets for a next visit.

Castles and estates open to visitors

Roles
General managers, estate managers, visitor experience managers, marketing managers, commercial directors
Size
Castles, stately homes, palaces and estates with ticketed visitors, gardens, a café and a shop, from about 100,000 visitors a year
When to start
Most estates change their map for the new season, so plan in winter.

A good fit if you have

  • Ticketed house, gardens or both
  • A café and a shop
  • Visitors from many countries

Not for

  • Ruins without facilities
  • Castles with only a few thousand visitors
  • Castle hotels (see HotelBooqi) and wedding venues

The problem

Visitors miss half the estate, need the story in many languages, and walk past the café and shop. The map is thrown away and has to be redone every season.

What changes with CastleBooqi

One estate guide in every language that visitors keep: the route, the story and the highlights in hand, and a QR for the café, shop, events and the next visit.

From first call to live in 2 to 3 weeks

  1. 1

    A short call

    We look at your venue and your goals, and show you what it would look like for you.

  2. 2

    We design both halves

    You send your map, content and brand. We design your CastleBooqi and the digital guide, you approve.

  3. 3

    Live

    Your CastleBooqi arrives, the digital guide is live behind the QR, and you change the content yourself.

Already have your own app? Good. Most visitors never download one. Your CastleBooqi is in their hand the moment they arrive, and the QR on it can open your app or your site. Hybrid: physical and digital together.

CastleBooqi is not a website builder. There is nothing to download: the guide opens in the browser.
