Rome Travel Guide (with Offline Maps) - mTrip

My husband and I never visited Rome before, so we shopped around for a good travel, tour guide style app. After testing the waters, we settled on this one. If you are concerned about the price, don't be. Buy the app!! Take it from a couple of penny pinchers, this app is priceless! Things we loved about it while in actual use: - Prior to our trip, it really helped us get an idea of the places we wanted to see. You can scan through virtually all the hot points of interest, which are categorized according types like "Monuments", "Religious", etc... It provides photos for most and it also provides a breif history, location, directions to and from, as well as hours of operation and cost of entry. -Since we didn't really know what to expect, we typed in our dates and specified our interests and voila! This app generated an itenerary completely tailored to us! It routed everything in a daily map and had estimated travel times between attractions. -Also prior to our trip, we found invaluable tips and advice on traveling in Rome that we would not have otherwise known. -It has a currency calculator, which we used OFTEN! It's nice to know exactly how much you are spending. -We used the offline maps every day. The maps, along with the addresses it automatically plotted from our itenerary, saved us from being hopelessly lost many times. -I'm forgetting half the things this app does!! Seriously, if you're going to Rome, GET THIS APP NOW!!!

I'm using this app to help plan my trip to Rome. The automated itinerary is very nice and it is easy to add or remove attractions from the list for a custom travel plan. Excellent list of attractions, restaurants, etc. The ability to download other users shared places and reviews will certainly make this one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date travel guides available. I'll update my review when I've had a chance to check out the augmented reality and the GPS based directions, but given the quality so far I have no doubt it will be just as good.

I haven't used the app in rome yet because we don't leave for a couple weeks. However I have loaded the itinerary with the places we are going to visit and it is pretty handy and easy to use. One suggestion however, I am looking for a way that you an add "things to do" or "remember" or anythin other than a "place" to the itinerary. For example, I need to remember to reserve train tickets when I get into Rome. It would be nice to have a note on my itinerary that reminds me to do that. Right now, it seems you can only add "places" to the schedule. I like to be very organized so of my itinerary can remind me to call for tickets , or check on show times etc. that would be SUPER HELPFUL. I am hoping we can see an update in the next couple weeks that will help me out here. Otherwise I will rate the app again after I get back. Thanks!

Traveling from the United States with no data service in Rome other than random Wi-Fi, this app was incredible. It showed me how to get from my hotel to a site, to the next site from the previous site, and included/not-included other places of interest along the way as I specified it. It worked great throughout the city when I had no service as long as I set up the sites for my day from my hotel that had Wi-Fi. it's a fantastic app and look forward to using it for other cities I travel to as mtrip makes them available - Brett Mpls, MN - USA

I just completed a 4 day/night trip to Rome. I don't know how I would have been able to see all of these sites without this app. I love that it gives walking directions and directions from previous destination. I'm so glad the app works offline. My hotel was wonderful (especially for the price) but it didn't have wifi... I only ran into free wifi once during my whole trip... I saw almost all of the sites I wanted for a first trip to Rome.
