VoiceMap: Audio Tours & Guides
Travel & Localעל אפליקציה זו
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. Ian McKellen has even created a tour. So have the Daily Show and Sir Stephen Fry.
Why use VoiceMap?
• Explore at your own pace instead of being herded along in a group. Start and stop tours whenever you like, to grab a drink or take in the view, then tap Resume to pick up exactly where you left off.
• Focus on your surroundings, not the screen. With automatic GPS playback, you can just tap on Start and let VoiceMap guide you.
• Avoid expensive roaming fees or fiddly connection issues. After you download a tour, VoiceMap works offline and includes an offline map.
• Enjoy tours as many times as you like, both in your destination and with your feet up, at home. Virtual Playback turns every tour into a podcast or audio book.
• Extend your attention span with indoor tours that help you make the most of your time at a growing range of museums and art galleries around the world.
• With over 2,100 free and paid tours in 80 countries, VoiceMap offers huge variety. There are over 100 tours in London alone!
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

Brilliant way to do a tour in an unfamiliar city (Yerevan, in my case). Local expertise, but your own pace! Loved it
I hated this app for two reasons: 1) No options to turn off audio and have written text instead. Also the commentary on my St Germain des Pres tour had a few too many folksy-cutesy elements in it that would have been easier to take if I were reading it. 2) The App itself was the worst part, constantly wrestling with it, hitting the back button & exiting, resuming the tour many times when you never meant to exit all.
exceptional experience
Great tour. Hits all the spots in a fun and informative manner.
This app was amazing. the accuracy was great and the type we took with it was great. we didn't have to look at our phones, just listened to the audio. the narrator was good and always told us the landmarks and when we turned the right was if there was any doubt in our minds after the turn. highly recommend.
My wife and I loved the audiotour we followed, but there are consistent connectivity issues with Bluetooth ear buds.
