Would you like to see the scenes of Picasso’s Parisian life, or have a drink in the very same cafe where Hemingway wrote his best novels? Get to know the City of Light. Get lost in the maze of classy shopping arcades, admire the city’s world famous palaces and museums. We take you on an unforgettable journey where you dont have to concentrate on reading about the sights but can relax and listen to the narrated information.

Got tired of sightseeing? Stop for a drink at the birthplace of Impressionism or try the world-famous French cuisine in a bistro or brasserie.

PocketGuide, the world’s leading audio city guide application, reveals the best stories, insider hangouts and must-see sights in more than 100 major cities and tourist destinations.

PocketGuide turns your mobile device into a personal tour guide: The GPS figures out where you are, and a voice recording, made by a local guide, describes the sights around you. You don’t need to read text from your phone, just listen and enjoy a city’s attractions while your virtual tour guide explains it all and shares personal insights.

PocketGuide works offline, so you save on roaming charges, and it includes an offline map and loads of critical reviews that help you decide where to eat, drink and shop.

We also have fascinating themed tours, for those who want to go off the beaten path. Find the top tapas in Barcelona, get chic in NYC’s East Village or follow the trail of a 19th century serial killer in London.

Whether youre interested in the main sights or "the road less traveled", PocketGuide is ready to take you there.

Please note that continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Pros and cons of Paris. app for iPhone and iPad

Paris. app good for

This app is simply great I downloaded as part of my plan to visit Paris, saw that it included so many other cities so I tried it at my home town of Munich . Tours are great love the function where I can predown-load files to save data roaming costs when I am abroad ., love it

Very useful map, I was able to use it offline in Paris and know exactly my location, the attractions and metro nearby and even restrooms.

Some bad moments

As far as I could tell, all of the detailed city information and tours require in-app purchase of $3 to $6 a piece; not what I was expecting from the description. At least the initial download is free.

Used it in Paris for a few days. Excellent map with GPS without any internet connection! Excellent!

Its great, but only the paid version. Better if walking alone with no interference from others so you can pay attention in what you bought.

I liked this app a lot. It shows you some tours and you can see pics of the places youll visit.

App indicated it was free and then took $5.99 from my account for nothing! Got one tour that I didnt want that said it was $2.99 but somehow my account is now $6 less. I have and IPod Touch not a phone so its basically useless. Beware of just "looking" at this app as it charges you even though it says free.

I tried using the realtime map and I couldnt zoom in. For a much more elegant , functional , and comprehensive app, that works beautifully with no internet connection, purchase the Mtrip Tavel Guide .
