money or be corralled into a large tour group, might want to consider this cheaper, more
flexible option.

WALKI-TALKI.COM ANNOUNCES LAUNCH
Press Release
July 1, 2006
Walki-Talki.com announces the launch of its new website offering audio walking
tours of cities throughout Europe in MP3 format. Tours can be downloaded direct
from the site and played on any iPod or MP3 compatible device. The tours are
voiced by BBC travel guru Ben Silburn and produced with the independent
traveler in mind, providing unique commentary, history, and insider tips
along the way. Site founder Jed Payne believes the tours are a unique
alternative to the traditional walking tour by allowing travelers to explore
at their own pace. ''We partner with local guides and try to show people a
different side of the city--places they might not see with a large travel group.''
The site currently has seven different tours including Amsterdam, Berlin,
Edinburgh, London, Madrid, Paris and Rome, with plans to add new tours each
month.
