Our Guides
Download a city guide of some of Europe's most beautiful cities onto your iPod, mp3 player or phone. As we guide you through the streets, along the route we've planned for you, our city guides will tell you what you're looking at and how to make the most of your city break.
Florence
We only had a long weekend to do the city and so your tour really helped us get our bearings. There's just so much to see there! I know we only scraped the surface but it worked really well for us.

Venice
This was a great tour that took you everywhere you needed to go. Particularly liked the walk through of the mosaic frescoes on the front of the Basilica.
We had a great time in Venice, made all the more special by this evocative guide.
Like the speaker's voice too - one of the best I've listened to.

PARIS - New look for the Musee dOrsay
The Musée d’Orsay reopens with a new look. The museum’s £17million refurbishment has created a series of striking looking backdrops for the 1,850 works in this former railway station.
The Musée d’Orsay is high up on the agenda of anyone on a Paris city break and it features on our mp3 tour of Paris and its grand monuments.
The museum’s fifth floor gallery which has the world’s greatest collection of impressionists by painters such as Monet, Manet and Cezanne among others. Instead of the stark white walls visitors can now admire these stunning, colourful works against a slate grey background.
Some commentators have argued that the new colour scheme is dull and sombre but the gallery’s director Guy Cogeval believes that the new colouring is more appropriate as it’s more similar to the colour of the walls of the homes where the paintings would have originally been hung.
