Description
Rama is not just a travel app. It's an experience unto itself.
Ever wanted to walk through San Francisco after the 1906 Earthquake? Relive the excitement and fear of the January 25 protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square? Inspect the crime scenes and clues of the Jack the Ripper murders for yourself? Rama is the app for that.
Rama allows you to experience history like never before, turning your iPhone into a digital tour guide that doesn’t just lead you to the historical sites and tell you the story behind them, but also presents archival photographs and etchings to show you how those places once actually looked. See for yourself the lost Chinese architectural wonder of the Imperial Gardens while walking through the Beijing park where it once stood, or see the events that took place in the hallowed Boston Garden, before it was destroyed to make way for a parking lot. There’s no deeper way to know a place you’re visiting, or the place you call home, than seeing its historical evolution with your own eyes.
Most tours on the app cost anywhere between $0.99 and $2.99, with free tours available for New York City, New Orleans, Portland, Maine, and Cairo. For an up-to-date list of current Rama tours, including the free tours available, visit: www.crimsonbamboo.com/ramatours

What's New in Version 1.2.2
This version incorporates some bug fixes that were causing the app to crash on when the tour list or a tour loads. If you still experience issues, we suggest deleting and reinstalling Rama from iTunes (don't worry, any previously-purchased tours will still be available to you) or contacting us at info@crimsonbamboo.com.

Customer Reviews
Don't bother.
You have to pay for EVERYTHING. Sleazy
Wrong town
The Sleepy Hollow cemetery is not in Tarrytown. It is located in Sleepy Hollow.
App is the only free thing about this.
Don't waste your time or money. Cheaper to pay a live travel agent!
