Anyway, great resource you’ve got going here. Defo’s going to hit it up in the future!

I’ll do that.  I found that article via StumbleUpon so that was my introduction to the site.  Yeah, missed the sarcasm apparently.

Thanks for the compliment :)

Benedict,

That sounds like a great concept, and the audio sample on your site sounds good. However, without using one of your audio guides “in the field”, I’m afraid I can’t recommend them to my readers, and it seems that the direction I’m headed won’t afford me the opportunity to use your existing guides over the next few months. If you have something in the works for Korea, China or SE Asia, let me know.

I have just launched “Iconic Guides”, an internet business which produces and sells audio guides to sites of historic interest around the world (www.iconicguides.com). To date, the business has developed a range of audio tours featuring destinations in Egypt, Japan and Greece. Costing little more than a cup of premium coffee, Iconic Guides are primarily aimed at the independent, cost-conscious traveller. Each guide is packed with absorbing and in-depth commentaries that delve deeply into the cultural, artistic and architectural heritage of these ancient cultures.

I am sure that the concept (and cheapness) of these audio guides would be of considerable interest to readers of your ‘backpacking’-themed blog. Consequently, I was wondering whether you might consider affording the Iconic Guides website a mention, or even place a link to it somewhere on your own site. Naturally, I can provide you with a more detailed synopsis of the philosophy behind Iconic Guides and/or an audio sample, if required. Alternatively, perhaps I could write an article for your website (perhaps related to the temples of Kyoto/Nara) in return for some promotion for my own site?

With best wishes,

Ben
