MPTours was created for the savvy independent traveler looking for an inventive type of journey. Our goal is to provide a state-of-the-art touring experience that will physically, intellectually and sensually transport you into the core of a city. Our high quality MP3 audio tours are among the most affordable on the net and are available in multiple languages for travelers the world over.
The founders of MPTours are two former college roommates with shared passions: travel, technology and soccer. They embarked on this adventure when they recognized an unfilled gap in the tourism industry for the so-called iPod generation. Why not combine technology with travel to create a travel experience that can appeal to the five senses? Their mission was to create a product for freedom-seeking, intrepid travelers like themselves who want to be immersed in new places. No schedules, no groups, no waiting around for others to be ready. All our travelers need is their iPod or MP3 player to explore the world!
The founders assembled a dream team to turn their vision into reality. The MPTours team of talented writers and actors, experienced tour guides, respected historians, hip local musicians, Grammy-award winning sound engineers and trendy web-site designers work together to create each of the MPTours tracks. The result is an audio experience that will take the traveler on a quasi-cinematic excursion and provide an unforgettable journey that they can keep as a memento of their travels.
Why start offering MP3 city tours of Buenos Aires? It is no coincidence. Few cities in the world can boast such a tremendous combination of enthralling history, extraordinary architecture, and cultural splendor. The opportunities for exploration and enrichment are boundless in this city of 47 neighborhoods and infinite sights. First-time visitors are astounded, time and again, by the beauty of Buenos Aires.
Where do we go next? Rome! Our Rome tours were launched in August 2008. And now? The possibilities are endless and we are eager to expand our audio travel experiences to the rest of the world. If you are interested in taking a high quality, experiential, MP3 walking tour to your city, let us know. We're always looking for the right partners. We extend our invitation to the travelers of the world. Real Insight at your own Pace.
