We've discovered an extraordinary way to learn more about the world. Iconic Guides is an excellent resource for travelers to learn about the Ancient World. Currently, Iconic Guides offers a plethora of audio guides to Egypt, Japan, and Greece. With so many fascinating options to choose from, it was hard to pick!

Long since lost to humanity, these early sightseeing suggestions had been a fertile source for the first-ever guidebooks written, and used, by Greek travellers in classical antiquity.
