The use of mobile devices to provide context-dependent information to tourists and other city visitors is now an activity that fits well with the paradigm of informal mobile learning

• Context and properties (Paay & Kjeldskov, 2005)
• Implications of the natural, non-computer-mediated behaviour of tourists (Brown & Chalmers, 2003).
• Behavioural Impacts of Mobile Tour Guides (Kramer et al, 2007; Kaasinen, 2005)

We concentrate on a new perspective, drawn from the interaction of tourists with a (human) tourist guide.
The work forms part of the requirements elicitation phase of a project to investigatedesign issues for audiovisual culturalheritage guides for the informal learner in cities such as London, Edinburgh andBrighton.

• Identify aspects of cultural and historical walking tours that might be relevant to design of digital guided tours.
• Participant Observation
• Access – e-mails and letters toguides and Festival Manager

Postcards - visitors received a postcard explaining the research and providing the contact information to send by post or give back to the researcher.

• Tours are multimodal and multidimensional
• Mobile guides can help in this task
Implications

• Follow up activity, in which a group of volunteer “tourists” will take part in a professionally-guided tour and subsequently form focus group to discuss their experiences.
• Questionnaires- post cards
