What Context Travelers Say...
- Sheila, Left Bank Audio Guide: Notre Dame to the Latin Quarter
"This audio guide made our visit to Borghese Gallery genuinely the best time I've ever had in an art museum. The museum is not too large and because they limit entry to two hours it's also far less crowded than most. Cecilia focused our attention on just 15 or so pieces and pointed out details in the technique, narrative, and history that I would have otherwise walked right past. The sculptures — especially Bernini's — are absolutely incredible and here you can walk right up to them and get a close and unobstructed view. I particularly appreciated Cecilia's rich descriptions that made the work come alive. The analysis of Bernini's David and Bernini chooses the moment of action where Michelangelo chooses the mental moment just before really opened my eyes to the artistic choices I usually overlook. I'll visit museums differently after this audio guide and hope I can take Cecilia's voice with me as often as possible"
- Zack, Borghese Gallery and Museum Audio Guide
"We had fun doing this audio tour at our own pace. It took us to a great spot for a close up look at the changing of the guard and lots of great information about London. We covered a lot of ground and saw a few things we probably wouldn't have found on our own."
- Silvia, Changing of the Guard Audio Guide
