Rome Audio Travel Guide

Do you know where Keats died as they covered the cobble-stones in hay to soften the outside noise from passing carriages? Do you know the spot where Julius Cesar was brutally stabbed to death by his own senators? Do you know where the Coliseum’s recycled marble ended up?
If you come to Rome seeking eternal or contemporary, cliché or unexpected, these carefully crafted city tours will take you there.

PocketGuide, the world’s leading audio city guide application, gives you tours by voice, revealing the best stories, insider hangouts and must-see sights in close to 100 major cities and tourist destinations. The app determines your location and a recording of your personal tour guide describes where you are – you don’t need to touch your phone or read from the screen. All the tours are developed by local experts who know their cities inside-and-out. You can choose from different themed tours, or just wander around the city and let PocketGuide inform you when an interesting site is nearby. The app can also record your trip: With one click you can create an amazing 3D video of the sights you see on your travels.

You can use the GPS-activated voice tours for free as long as your phone is online, but that means you will have to pay roaming charges. If you pay to download the tours, you can use them offline, and save on the cost of roaming. We charge a small fee for downloading the offline features because we need to reimburse the tour guides and cover our development costs. Other features you can get for free include a map that works offline and free use of the 3D tour.
