Rick Steves Podcasts

I want to download some of RS podcasts for Rome, etc. but I can find no information as to how long each tour is? Specifically, if I use his Vatican tour on my ipod, how long will the whole tour take me? Thanks.

Laurie,
Download them onto your Ipod and then listen. I am 99% sure at the beginning Rick says something like "Set aside 1.5 - 2 hours for this tour." He does a little intro and they are all different lengths. We are 30 and relatively in shape and we are usually on the shorter side. If there is a corresponding tour in his guidebook it may tell you the length to expect too.

Thanks for the help. I was hoping that there was somewhere that listed the lengths but if needed I will do as you suggest.

Laurie, I downloaded the (free) RS podcasts from the ITunes Store and it lists the duration/time for each one. For example, the Rome St. Peters Audio Tour is 47 min 02 sec. Does that help?
