Your audio tour guide, Lydia, will describe Greece & the Olympics long history. Natural street sounds will make you feel like youre actually walking through Athens with her.
You’ll stroll past Athen’s ruins, museums & attractions like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you can hear the changing of the guard. Lydia will reveal the secrets and history of this ancient city, and give insights into each place you walk by.
All of this action is powered by you! Youll progress along your path through Athens, by walking around the room, or on a treadmill, or even by riding a stationary bike.
