FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Walki-talki.com LLC is pleased to announce that its acclaimed self guided walking tours are now available on the iPhone. The growing list of titles includes most major European destinations. Each tour consists of 12-17 audio tracks describing the history and culture of the city. Visitors can follow the tour along the route defined in the interactive map or choose to follow a completely random route.
Tour apps are available from the App Store for just $9.99. The original MP3 package and printable PDF map continue to be available at www.walki-talki.com for only $8.99. The growing catalog currently contains tours of 12 top European destinations: Rome, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Venice, Prague, Edinburgh, Madrid, Barcelona, and Geneva. Seven titles are currently available on the App Store, with the rest in production.

Although the plain mp3 audio and pdf map packages through the web site are straightforward to use, the iPhone app makes for an easier and richer user experience. With the original tour packages, the user must load the audio files onto their media player manually and print the pdf map. In contrast, installation of the tour package on the iPhone requires exactly one click on the "buy" button in the App Store, and the built-in, interactive map obviates the need for a printed map, thus saving the user effort. In both instances the user is free to follow the route defined in the map, or to follow his or her own route of choice.

Digital self guided tours are ideal for travelers with a constrained schedule, ones who eschew large tourist groups, those on a budget, or those who prefer to wander at their own pace and to take the occasional detour. Not surprisingly, therefore, walki-talki.com’s customers represent all age groups, technical ability and geographic location. Although the vast majority of sales are from North America and the United Kingdom, sales have been recorded from places as far away as Australia, Japan, Brazil, Finland, and South Africa.
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Ventura, CA, walki-talki.com is one of the first companies to offer walking tours for digital media players like the iPod. Walki-talki.com is currently seeking additional partners for promotion and distribution of its tours. Current partners include Rail Europe (www.raileurope.com) and The Flying Pig (www.flyingpig.nl).
Demo tours are available for media reviewers upon request.
