''What news on the Rialto?" - Historic Rialto Bridge is important; it crosses Venice's Lagoon; it's the heart of Venice's business and commerce area. The Bridge's ramps have lots of shops. Crossing the Rialto Bridge is easy, it attracts locals and travelers. By the way, the Realto was similar to a stock exchange and gold market in days gone by. In Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice," one of the actors asks "What news on the Rialto?" similar to saying "What's happening on Wall St? The Rialto is also known as "Shylock's Bridge." It's interesting and worth crossing.

Excellent self-paced guided audio tour. A must for exploring new cities. - We did both Venice tours and absolutely loved them. They are self paced guided tours complete with history, interesting tidbits of culture, and a sprinkling of good humor. My husband & I were pleasantly surprised as to quality, professionalism and engaging experience. The app is fantastic and is complete with text, interactive maps, photos, etc. The audio is very clear and easy to follow. We just arrived in Rome and have purchased the Rome guided tours. Our only recommendation would be …. Please make more to include additional cities. We’ve recommended this app & VIDI audio tours to all our friends.
