Audio Tours - Listen to the Experts
Audio Tours have become great intellectual accessories to the dedicated traveler. You can get MP3 or iPod tour downloads for almost every museum and city in the world. Many places have their own dedicated systems for rent for a nominal fee. All you need to find them is to Google "Audio Tours" or "Audio Guides" plus the name of museum or city desired. They are also available on links found on line, in guide books or in brochures.

They can be specially adapted to specific subjects or areas. Other times there are Tours for special exhibitions. These are great.
