iToors – Tour The City; Learn To Spell Later
iToors is a service that allows you to download MP3s to listen to about great cities. You can see their website here:
Their list of tours are limited:
North America New York, California
Europe Glasgow, London, Paris, Prague
When I clicked on California, I listened to the Santa Monica iToor. They talked about the city and how it attracted artists. I was expecting a walking tour where you start at a certain site and walk while you listen to the iToor. The audio track would point out important sites along the way.
Unfortunately, the Santa Monica iToor just talked about the city. They did include addresses so you could visit the places that they are talking about, but these audio files aren’t walking tours. They’re more for people who are trapped at home and wish they could travel somewhere, but don’t know where to go. Instead of acting like a tour guide in your iPod, they are like the Travel Channel in your iPod.
Maybe that’s why they spelled tour wrong…
