🎧 Self-guided audio walks

Our audio companions are narrated walking routes you steer yourself. Each one is written as a stop-by-stop script that tells you where to stand, what to look at, and the story behind it — the local know-how of a private guide, minus the schedule and the cost. Because the whole narration is printed on the page, you can read it as you go or let your browser read it aloud, and it stays useful even with your phone in airplane mode.

Why a transcript, not just audio

Audio is wonderful in the moment, but a recording you cannot skim, search, or read on a silent train is easy to lose. Publishing the full script means you can preview a walk before you travel, jump back to the stop you missed, translate a passage, or follow along without headphones in a crowd. It also means the walk is genuinely accessible: screen-reader users get the same words, and anyone who prefers sound can tap Listen to have the browser read the text. Start with the Rome Colosseum and Roman Forum walk to see how it works.
