Cio Muse Tours expands to 20 countries with 100 new self-guided audio tours

Clio Muse Tours is once again expanding to new destinations and in 2021 will be releasing 100 new self-guided audio tours in 20 countries reaching by the end of the year a total of 450 self-guided tours in 31 countries.

After its expansion in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands in 2019 and in Turkey later the same year, the greek startup enriches its portfolio with new destinations in Europe and beyond. 

In 2020, Clio Muse Tours focused on cultural projects forming valuable partnerships with museums and organizations. Over the past year, it collaborated with greek museums such as the Museum of Cycladic Art, organizations including Nea Odos and Kentriki Odos and municipalities such as the Regional Unit of Chios Tourism Department for the creation, development and distribution of numerous digital and audio self-guided tours. Moreover, in March 2020, were launched 23 virtual tour experiences that combine 360° images with audio narrations. 

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the startup aimed to expand to new destinations in 2020. Shifting the initial business plan and forming new partnerships and collaborations with established cultural institutions in Greece and abroad was a conscious decision of the three co-founders, in accordance with their priorities, to secure the Clio Muse team and adapt in the best possible way to the situation.  

Starting from February 2021, almost a year after the initial plan was put on hold, Clio Muse Tours is already working on new destinations and tours. By the end of the year, it will release 100 self-guided tours and city walking tours to new countries as well as add more destinations to the ones it already operates in.

Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Antalya, London, New York City and Morocco are some of the countries Clio Muse Tours will be creating content for the first time. All of these cities were carefully chosen because they are popular travel destinations of great historical and cultural importance. 

At the same time, in addition to the already existed tours for landmarks and museums in Athens, the Greek islands, Venice, Granada, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Florence and Seville will be added new city walking tours as well as self-guided audio tours of different themes.
