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."
Janet, NYC

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.”
London’s Alternative History Tour, Carmella V.

** 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.

Amazing, what a wonderful introduction to Madison. It’s not too long, an easy walk. Just the right combination of history, stories, and a bit of humor. What a pity my sleeping teenager missed this, It would’ve been great as a family event as well.

Tour of Old Town Split / Croatia

CC@11 on

Great way to avoid the crowded walking tours in the old town. Easy to pause and resume the journey. Happy to have searched for this and found it! Thanks.

Very helpful tour aid

This voicemap really helped history come alive in a small Alaskan town. Very enjoyable narration. Also I appreciated the use of GPS to cue the narration for each stop to begin as we approached it.

Rome for Readers: A Literacy Tour of the Eternal City by Tiffany Parks

itrans junkie on

I recently took this took while on a side trip to Rome. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so enchanted, educated and in complete marvel all at once. This tour leaves nothing left to be desired. Tiffany’s attention to detail and extensive historical reference brings every piece of Rome to life - as if you were walking back in time! I really loved the pauses in between points and the pace with which the tour was given. I couldn’t recommend this tour more and will certainly be taking any others that are offered!

One tour so Far

sgd1506 on

I’ve only taken one tour so far. If the rest of the tours associated with this app are as good as the street art tour Lisbon, I high recommend and will continue using app around the world!

This is great

BGMM123 on

I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before but I legit love this one and recommend it to all my travel friends

Waste of money

Schmuck in a truck on

Always gets stuck part way through, never completes the downloads. 5G network.

Excellent driving tour 17 mile drive

upickanamethen on

This tour was excellent. The information was just enough. The pace was great. We stopped and got out at Spanish bay and Pebble Beach. We pulled out at most of the other stops to view. Traffic was the worst at the Lone cypress so we didn't stop. We have dogs. EVERYTHING was dog friendly. We do tours this way because of dogs. We walked out on the boardwalk at Spanish bay. It's a must. We saw tge 18th green at PB. Even if you're not a golfer the $10 is worth it. You learn so much history that you would otherwise miss. Navigation was spot on!

Split, Croatia Walking Tour

Michelle1234567780 on

Fantastic! Such a better option than crowded tours where you can’t hear the guide. Clear, concise and interesting information throughout. The location tracking and directions worked perfectly and were easy to follow. You can stop for as long or as short as you please in the different areas. Highly recommend for anyone. Bring your ear buds!
