Oct 6, 2009
Visitors to London who are looking for something a little different from their travel guides may want to consider travel audiobooks or guides. Audio travel guides, such as those from Way2GoGuides, offer visitors a new and innovative way to learn more about London and the key London visitor attractions. These new generation travel guides add a further dimension to travel books.
The guides can be downloaded and listened to using an MP3 player, iPod or mobile phone. Unlike traditional print travel guides, Way2GoGuides use a range of different audio and mulitmedia material to create an interesting and engaging user experience.
Audio Travel Guides by Way2GoGuides
Way2GoGuides are created using a combination of professional actors, music that is authentic and tailored to the guide and sound effects to produce an a audio experience that is designed to work on many levels. The Way2GoGuides offer information about an attraction while also creating an evocative atmosphere.
In addition to presenting just hard facts and figures, Way2GoGuides incorporate additional insights into the guides. This includes the telling of stories in the manner of people who would have been there, for instance listening in to a conversation that took place on the eve of the execution of Charles 1. This helps to provide an extra layer of interest, adding a little 'extra color' which helps to bring the guides alive.
