Narration that follows the route
Audio starts at the relevant location using GPS, with spoken directions and an alert for leaving the route. Download the selected tour and map before setting out; start at its published starting point and allow extra time for pauses. Virtual listening also lets you revisit a tour later.

Rome routes and purchases
The Rome catalogue includes Trastevere, the Jewish Ghetto and Colosseum/Forum-focused walks. Choose by the particular route, publisher, narration language and audio preview. Free installation does not include every tour, and an audio-route purchase should not be used as evidence of attraction admission.
