Welcoming hundreds of thousands of international visitors each year, King’s College, Cambridge required an elegant, self-guided mobile companion that could enrich the visitor journey without intruding upon the reflective atmosphere of the college grounds. Commissioned to support visitors navigating both the world-famous Chapel and the historic courts, the King's College Pocket Guide offers an authoritative, pocket-sized tour that brings the institution's profound academic, cultural, and royal legacy into crisp focus.

The app guides visitors through the architectural marvel of King’s College Chapel, exploring its soaring late-Gothic fan-vaulted ceiling—the largest in the world—its majestic Tudor stained glass, and the masterpiece Rubens altarpiece. Beyond the chapel walls, the guide opens up the wider college landscape, leading guests through the manicured lawns down to the River Cam and the celebrated vistas of The Backs, while providing insightful interpretation of the historic gardens, courtyard sculpture, and five centuries of renowned scholars who lived and worked within its gates.

Designed for effortless, intuitive navigation on visitors' own smartphones, the guide eliminates the operational friction and hardware maintenance of rented audio handsets. Supported by Trailify’s flexible content management engine, the visitor services team at King's College holds complete autonomy to adjust tour highlights, update seasonal opening guidance, and adapt visitor stories across the academic year without technical overhead.
