Summer has finally arrived and with it that irrepressible urge to set off and discover new places. If you too are among those who are already planning itineraries and marking upcoming destinations on the map, let us let you in on a secret: there is a travelling companion that takes up no space in your luggage, never complains about the heat and always knows everything about the places you visit. We're talking about audio guides, of course!
The guide that fits in your smartphone
Goodbye to heavy paper brochures that crease and weigh you down in your backpack. Modern audio guides turn your smartphone into a real professional tour guide. Imagine walking around Venice with an expert voice telling you the history of every corner, or discovering the hidden secrets of Bologna while enjoying an ice cream in the shade of the porticoes.
When the heat becomes unbearable
Let's face it: in summer, especially in the middle of the day, the sun can be merciless. But who says you have to give up culture? With audio guides you can take refuge in an air-conditioned museum, enter a cool church or simply find a shady corner and keep listening!
Multilingual and multitasking
Summer is also the season of visiting foreign friends, relatives coming from afar and family holidays. Modern audio guides are always available in several languages and allow everyone to enjoy the visit in their own idiom. While Uncle Giuseppe listens in Italian, his American cousin can follow in English. Not bad, right?
Geolocalisation: never aimless again
In the summer heat, the last thing you want is to get lost while driving along roads you don't know. Audio guides with geolocation always show you where you are on the map and guide you to points of interest. It's like having a cultural GPS that takes you straight to the beauty, without wasting precious time in the sun.
Offline is better (for the battery)
In summer, the smartphone is already under stress: photos, videos, navigation, apps to find the perfect restaurant... the battery drains in no time! Fortunately, many modern audio guides allow you to download content in advance, so you can listen to them offline. Less data consumption, less stress on the battery and more time to enjoy your holiday.
The right price for the summer
Between hotels, restaurants, petrol and ice cream, every euro counts in summer. Audio guides are a smart investment: for a few euros, you can visit an entire city. Think about it: it's less than you spend on a cocktail on the beach, but the memories and knowledge it gives you last much longer.

Summer is better with a good story
Summer is the perfect season for exploring, discovering and marvelling. And what better way to do that than by letting yourself be guided by the voice of someone who really knows the places you are visiting? Audio guides are not just a technological tool, they are the bridge between you and history, between the present and the past, between the tourist and the real traveller.
So, as you pack your suitcase for your next summer adventure, remember to set aside a little space in your smartphone for audio guides, perhaps considering which services to use first. With Audiogiro, you have all the conveniences we have listed in this article (and more). Remember: the real treasure of any trip is not the destination, but all the stories that are hidden along the way.
Have a great summer and... good listening!
