"Tourcaster is... FREEING. Ever try to rewind or skip ahead with a human tour guide? Good luck. Tourcaster allows you to go at your own pace, review important facts, take a break when you like or skip over something. Your schedule, not someone else's, dictates how the tour unfolds for you. And guidebooks? Please. Wouldn't you rather have your hands free and your eyes open to drink in the sights, instead of having to stop every ten steps to bury your nose in a book? Tourcaster gives you that freedom."

"Tourcaster is... INFORMATIVE. Our tour guide for Buenos Aires is Brian Byrnes, who not only lives there but has also been a reporter and contributor to CNN, CBS and The Washington Post. Chris Epting, who provided our music-themed 'Rock and Walk: L.A.' tour, is an expert in pop culture who also penned the book Led Zeppelin Crashed Here. These are the kind of experts that Tourcaster uses - Guides who live and work in the tour's region. They do more than just get you from one spot on the map to another. They infuse you with local heritage and cultural insights that allow you to become immersed in the places and people you're visiting."

"Tourcaster is... EVERYWHERE. We are the largest online library of downloadable tours for iPods and mp3 players. Period. We have over 110 tours covering more than 30 cities on six continents. We are the featured podcast partner for the Austrian National Tourist Office. We have tours as sprawling as the South African wine country, and as defined as the catacombs of Paris. Chances are that if you want to go there, Tourcaster can guide you there."
