What We Offer
Citi-Tunes offers curated, music-based city explorations designed specifically for organizations seeking meaningful cultural engagement for their groups.
Our guided walking formats use music as an interpretive lens. Music becomes a window into history, society, and place, and the tours deliver experiences that combine:
-
Culture and history
-
Urban development
-
Context & Storytelling
-
Experiential benefits of music
Currently available for Bonn and Helsinki, further locations under development.
Our formats are suitable for international groups and can be tailored to different levels of prior knowledge.
The “Listening to Cities” format has proven to be ideal for:
-
Cultural and educational institutions
(museums, universities, summer schools, adult education programs) -
Conference and event organizers
(academic conferences, policy events, cultural or corporate offsites) -
Cultural travel agencies and tour operators
(study tours, thematic travel, high-end cultural programs) -
Foundations, associations, and international programs
seeking place-based cultural orientation

-
a conference side program or opening/closing experience
