Let Tech Enhance Your Travels

With each trip to Europe, I look forward to the new tech innovations that’ll pump up my experiences. This year I’ve noticed new iPad applications that reconstruct ancient frescoes when you focus the iPad on the scant remains of the original — like here at the Mamertine Prison in Rome, where the faithful believe Saints Peter and Paul were imprisoned. Astounding as this app is, I have to say that such tech developments no longer surprise me — they’re becoming commonplace.

One of the great joys for me these days is checking in with travelers in Europe who’ve enjoyed my new (and much improved) free audio tours. In fact, when I meet someone on the road one of my first questions is, “Have you used the free tours from the Rick Steves Audio Europe app?” I’m so high on these audio tours because people absolutely love them. And we’re making new tours all the time. So, when considering the blessing of new tech for travelers, don’t forget to download Rick Steves Audio Europe and stick me in your ear. I promise, you’ll like me there — just look how happy these travelers are.

This is Day 34 of my “100 Days in Europe” series. As I travel with Rick Steves’ Europe Tours, research my guidebooks, and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences in Italy, Portugal, France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, and more. Thanks for joining me here on my blog and via Facebook.
