I just used them myself in Rome and couldn't believe what I learned. Best part - it was free!! <strong><em>I have heard they are fabulous!

The last one was kind of confusing--a lot of backtracking and if you aren't familiar with what you're looking at, it's easy to get completely disoriented. The others were pretty good, especially if you can snag a seat along the wall of the Sistine Chapel and sit while you listen. He has some corny jokes but as long as the audioguide is free, I can live with that. <strong><em>I am so glad to hear you liked them (and that the Forum one isn't so great!) Thanks for letting us know.</em></strong> We used Rick Steves’ audio guides on our ipods for the Pantheon, Sistine Chapel, and Roman Forum.

I am so glad to hear you liked them (and that the Forum one isn’t so great!) Thanks for letting us know.
