Photo Blog Series: City Tours and Audio Guides

When Brian and I travel to larger cities, we generally try to do some sort of tour to get a feel for the area and learn interesting tidbits you don't read about in guidebooks.  Some tours we have done haven't been great, but others have been a lot of fun and given us a lot of good information.  The same is true for audio guides, which we generally pick up in museums to help us navigate them better, especially if the audio guide is in English but all of the signs are in another language!  Here's some of our memorable tours and audio guides from the past two years.
