Going to Rome soon, the first time in probably over 10 years.
I had an audiobook of walking tours in Rome, which was originally in cassette form. It would direct you where to go and prompt you to pause the tape as it explained the significance of the place it directed you t.
They reference maps in the book and I found a preview of the book which shows those maps but not very detailed.
So I was looking for something similar or more updated. Turns out the RS Audio Europe app is just that, has audio telling you about the places, presumably, as well as a map of those places as you listen.
You have to download the tours you want into the app. I just downloaded a few for Rome and they're abut 40 MB each.
I've had this app for a long time but never really opened it.
Has anyone used this app for the audio tours? I usually go on organized walking tours too and the audiobook I have is very history-focused, which I don't mind.
The tour guides, I guess in Europe they tend to be licensed, even if doing the free tours for tips, impart varying degrees of history.
I don't know how history-savvy these RS tours will be.
