Narrated Walking Tours on your MP3 Player.
A new service offered by a company called Digital Audio Tours
promises to try and help make walking tours of cities more enjoyable. The
service, known as AudioTreks, provides downloadable MP3 files of professionally
narrated walking tours which can be placed on your digital audio player. Each
"tour" is broken up into segments (individual MP3 files) which are
numbered and can be matched to a corresponding PDF map you can download and
print.
[Digital Audio Tours] Co-founder Andrea Reese said, "AudioTreks tours are
like having a knowledgeable friend show you around to all the must-see
spots." Partner Geoff Davis added that, "The tours take up little
space on your player, and they're easy to stop and start as you go along."
Tours are currently available for neighborhoods of San Francisco, Philadelphia
and Washington, DC. More cities will become available in the next few months.
