Pat’s Point of View

I was just reading about iWalk Dublin, a new tourism initiative providing guided audio tours around the city of Dublin. They use Podcasts you download to your iPod and then off you go!

I think this is a great idea and I hope it gets adopted by other cities. Having done my fair share of city sightseeing, I often found a distinct lack of information on the history and culture of the place. Even when I forked out for some over-priced tourist guide/book I still didn’t get what I was looking for. And with the Podcast you’d be able to stop, rewind, fast-foward etc.

Actually it would have been quite handy when I was in Dublin, since it was Christmas Eve and nothing was open, so no tours. Or even locals to ask directions of! :)
