This is not just an ordinary travel guide - this is more of a mysterious and fascinating trip: a voyage across more than 20 centuries of creativity through which art and history intertwine, telling the story of what human ingenuity has created through the ages.

Through the use of technology and amazing audio-visual content Rome Guide will take you on an impressive virtual tour through the Colosseum events, gladiator fights and the masterpieces of Michelangelo that will live in your iPhone and will tell you what Rome was like at the height of its splendour.


ROME ATTRACTIONS
Explore Rome attractions, read history, listen audio walk-throughs and narration by a star voice over actor.

SMART MAPS
Beautiful maps each featuring several POIs with audio tracks that will let you discover the many not-to-be-missed sites of Rome as well as legends of the city.
Each Point of Interest has GPS coordinates, so you can figure out which POIs are closest to you or how you can reach them by sending the request to your phone navigator (Apple Maps).

From planning your trip and tips on where to stay in Rome, to detailed guide on where to eat.

### 1/5 — Still loading

*2018-08-24, version 4.0.1*

I’ve been waiting all day for the content to load. Been sitting at 548/549 files loaded and can’t get into the app at all. I’m in Rome now and don’t have time for this not to work, esp for the price. So frustrated.

Update: I want my money back. Still hasn’t loaded.

**Developer response:** We are very sorry for your problem, the app at first start must dowload over 500mb of datas (photo, audio, video) and with a mobile connection sometimes it can get hard.

If the dowload stucks the best thing to do is: 
1) Delete the app from the iPhone
2) Reinstall it again from the app
3) Start and wait for the contents download

Of course you can ask for a full refund contacting Apple Store. :(

### 2/5 — Great City; Superficial App

*2014-05-11, version 1.5*

Gives you a ~5 paragraph story that is long-winded and could be reduced to one paragraph.  For what I paid, I expected more detail.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-03-23, version 1.5*

We just returned from rome and used this app all over the city - we loved being able to skip the lines for audio guides in several places and just use this app! Highly recommended. Of course it works great in airplane mode and I bought headphone splitters so my husband and I could each use our own headphones.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2013-06-14, version 1.3.1*

Trying to make sense of documentaries and tangling with confusing maps made it hard to plan.

Particularly for a first timer like me, the audio and pictures helped me understand the significance of buildings in a full and easily understandable way.

I also enjoyed the artsy map which makes finding things a lot easier than many other apps I've tried - especially since this app has the option to show only attractions and zooms into specific areas.

If get it again if I could -without a doubt!

### 5/5 — One of the best for Rome!

*2013-03-24, version 1.3.1*

Kids loved the fanfare and music. It held their attention at the sites. Like the offline capability. Love your website too!

### 5/5 — Don't miss this app!

*2012-11-28, version 1.3.1*

This app was excellent for planning my first trip to Rome. Advice about where to stay was spot-on. The video guide was inspiring, and now that I have returned from Rome, it is fun to review places I visited while I was there! Please make this app for other major cities in Italy!

### 5/5 — PwD

*2012-08-22, version 1.3.1*

Excellent!!

### 2/5 — Not as informative or interactive as expected

*2012-01-03, version 1.3.1*

Although quite pretty i was expecting something much more interactive for the high price. The worst part is that you can't zoom out on the map so it is difficult to see where something is if you are not familiar with the area. I also expected more pictures of an area and the history to be more in-depth...again I expected much more for the price. It is basically a short summary that I could have read on wikipedia. After using it this weekend, I consider my purchase a waste of money. I should have done what the other reviewer recommended and just listened to them from their website.

### 5/5 — Incredible!!

*2011-11-28, version 1.3.1*

Must have app for any trip to Rome...incredible.

### 3/5 — Not for the iPad!

*2011-05-05, version 1.3*

I fell for the little HD tag in the corner and assumed it was iPad compatible.  Didn't figure it out until too late.  First HD app I bought that was not made for iPad.
