Can you assume visitors and docents have cell phones? The cheapest is just have a sign our docent is elswhere on campus, call xxx for a tour. If docents have cell phones but you don't want to require visitors to have one you were talking about getting some cheap tablets. There are various messaging apps you may be able to use. Not sure if you can lock them down to prevent abuse. I haven't done android development to know how hard making something simple is.
