Jane offers insights for art-lovers and history buffs who want more than just the highlights about what they’re seeing. Unlike audio walking tours, Jane’s audio guides are site-specific, penetrating deep into the essence of a single place. Jane's Smart Art Guides will immerse you in the illuminating historical context of the art, politics, culture and religion that have intertwined over centuries to create the unique character of each remarkable site.
The consistently high quality of these engaging audio guides allows you to experience the richness of history and the character of a place like never before. Each guide conveys an extraordinary wealth and variety of information. It’s like having a knowledgeable, stimulating travel companion, or like having your own top-notch private tour guide.
The only equipment required to enjoy one of these audio guides is a portable audio player (CD, iPod or MP3) and earphones. Two people can share single guide, by plugging a “y-adapter”into one player. Titles currently available: St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Sta. Maria del Popolo in Rome, Fra Angelico at San Marco in Florence, and Our Lady Cathedral in Antwerp, Belgium. New titles will be added soon.
Each guide provides a "Slice of History" background segment to listen to before visiting the site, plus the on-site portion. A companion booklet contains floor plans, track list, glossary and tips. The duration of the guides varies depending on the site.
Notes:
Airfare is not included in the tour price.
The guides are available on CD or downloadable MP3, priced from $13.95 to $24.95, depending on format and tour length. They must be purchased in advance, either from our site, or from your favorite bookshop.
