App Description

Visiting Rome? Think you want to hire a tour guide? Use this app instead and let Mary Redekop be your guide!

In this casual, useful and informative app we focus on Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque art and architecture.

The app provides interactive maps, directions, video, audio, beautiful photographs and details about Piazza del Popolo, Pincio Hill, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Colonna, the Pantheon, Sant ‘Ignazio di Loyola, San Luigi Francesi, Piazza Navona and Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

If you are a Caravaggio fan, this tour is perfect for you as you will see five unbelievable Caravaggio paintings You will also stand beneath a ceiling that is an optical illusion, and see the mouth that is really a door, or is it the other way around?

Photographs are included on the map-routes to help you recognise where you are as you move from one location to the next. No Internet or GPS connections are required to use the app.

The tour is designed to be walked in one day, but may take longer depending on the amount of time you spend at each location. The total walking distance is approximately 3.5 km, so wear comfortable shoes and carry a small set of binoculars so you can see fine details in the buildings and artwork.

The tour is also designed to be used in the comfort of your own home if you want to experience Rome without leaving your house!

The app was designed for travellers, art lovers, teachers, students, travel agents and people who just love Rome! It's really easy to "Gift" this app to other Rome enthusiasts!

If you have two days in Rome why not purchase the Mostly Roman and Early Christian Rome WalkaboutTour, as well as this app, and take a complete two day tour with Mary.
