Great app but…
Some of the individual tours are just too expensive. You may as well just buy a guidebook and follow along. You pay for the guidebook but you can use it over and over again.

Description
VoiceMap tours are like podcasts that move with you, to tell stories about what you’re seeing right now. They're produced by insightful local storytellers, including journalists, filmmakers, novelists, podcasters, and tour guides. Sir Ian McKellen has even created a tour. It's around London's West End, where he’s performed for over 50 years.
Features:
• Explore at your own pace. Start and stop tours whenever you like, then use the resume option to pick up exactly where you left off.
• With GPS autoplay, you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen. Tap on Start, and let VoiceMap guide you.
• VoiceMap works offline. After you download a tour, the audio will be available offline along with an offline map.
• If you do go off in the wrong direction, VoiceMap plays an audio alert, and you can follow the map on your screen to the next location.
• Listen to tours as many times as you like, both in the destination and with your feet up, at home, using Virtual Playback. This turns every tour into a podcast or audio book.
• With over 1,300 free and paid tours, VoiceMap offers huge variety
VoiceMap works indoors too, and Version 12 of the app combines insightful content that extends your attention span with an interface that helps you make informed choices about how you spend your time at a growing range of museums and art galleries around the world.
Press:
“High-quality self-guided walking tours...Narrated by local experts, they provide insight into corners of the city sometimes overlooked by regular guided tours.”
Lonely Planet
“We may be biased, but could there be anything more helpful than having a journalist in your pocket when touring a new city? How about a historian, a novelist or just a really passionate local? VoiceMap culls city-specific stories from them all and fits them neatly into walking tours.”
New York Times
User Testimonials:
“My wife and I really enjoyed exploring Bruges at our own pace with this audio tour, and there were some memorable stories that the narrator shared. Also, the app worked great in relation to the location-based services. We easily followed the map and the audio was triggered in the appropriate spots. In comparison to the packs of people wandering the city with tour guides, this was a much better fit for us.”
Viator review, Rick A
“Great quality information - interesting and entertaining. The time flew by. And no waffle! This is far better than any other guided tour we found - they are much more expensive and far less informative. And you can do this tour any time, any day, at your own pace, and even do it twice!”
Tripadvisor review, Carcassonne 's Medieval Walls: A Self-Guided Tour
"Thoroughly recommend. Really enjoyed the tour. Very well done. Packed with information and took me round streets I’d never have thought to walk round. An audio and visual treat. Thank you."

Tripadvisor review, Carcassonne 's Medieval Walls: A Self-Guided Tour
“It was enjoyable to be under no time pressure to freely roam the city of Pisa as we so pleased. Wandering from attraction to attraction. The app is clever, concise and easy to use! Would do again - especially with another person or solo traveler.”
GetYourGuide review, Grace L
“Great value for money, interesting and very clear and easy to follow! I learnt lots about London I didn't already know and I have lived here over 30 years.”

** Just so you know, GPS runs in the background while you're on a tour. This decreases battery life and it's best to start a tour with your device fully charged.

Rethymo tour Crete
A lot more to the area than we first thought, thanks, very informative and clear. App works well and you can put your phone away and follow the verbal directions easily.
Fantastic and easy to follow guide.
Not sure how others are saying that have issues downloading and following the tours. I found it extremely Easy to use, simple to follow. Love the fact it uses your location to stop and start the guide information. Tour was very enjoyable and informative. Will definitely be using it again.
Excellent app. Some pricing concerns.
The app is excellent. Some concerns around pricing. It’s cheaper to buy tours on VoiceMap’s website and sync them to the app.
Amazing way to explore a city without an organised tour.
Loved this app, really recommend!
It’s like history and culture come to life
I’ve relied on this app on my trip to New York, and it’s been great. The app uses GPS to provide a route and the narrator and production values are great. A ‘must have’ if you’re travelling alone or want to immerse yourself in the local history of the area you’re walking in.
Try this now!
We loved this! We have never done a walking tour like this before and will definitely be doing them again. So easy and great to pause and restart when you want to. A revelation for us
Great guide. Good local personal knowledge.
Great guide. Good local personal knowledge.
Simpley the best!
It was a very beautiful, sentimental tour. Great experience. I completely forgot about myself. Thank you.
A great app that I’ll definitely use again
Lots of great information and buildings I would never have found if I was just wandering around. Would definitely look out for another one. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I found the map a little confusing and had to retrace my steps a couple of times.
