The Escape Key Limited
The Escape Key has designed and launched Freedom Tours which are Self-Guided Tours using geolocation via a smartphone App. The unique aspect is that the tour is delivered through videos of real local actors describing the sights and history of the cities they love. Freedom is the word - our users can start and finish wherever and whenever they like. They can take a break for a coffee or a meal or to visit a shop - and they can take shelter if it starts to rain. Our first Freedom Tour is of Edinburgh Old Town but we have plans for many more.
