Abstract
Two digital tourist guides have been developed and tested in real settings. They are both outdoor guides adapted to mobile phones, - targeting attractions and tourist services within a region and a specific attraction respectively. Aspects related to simplicity in use, installation procedures, content quality, co-visiting mechanisms, and mechanisms that support links between physical object and digital content should be accentuated in future digital guides.
