About this app

Experience the magic of GPS audio walks, cycles, drives and even boat rides with VoiceMap self-guided tours in almost 500 destinations worldwide.

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.

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 1,500 free and paid tours in 70 plus 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

This is a really great app for self-guided tours. I've used it to publish tours including Coventry's Cathedral Quarter: A Tale of Riches, Destruction and Rebirth and Birmingham's Rise: from Medieval Settlement to Metropolis. I also always look for a VoiceMap tour when visiting somewhere new and have purchased several.

Downloaded the app to take a tour of Grenada in Spain. The app is free, but you have to pay for the individual tours. The one I took cost around £12.00 but compared with an individual or even a group tour, this was very good value for money. Ben was an excellent host, and the tour was informative and just the right length.

We had a bit of problem navigating the app at the start but when you get used to it, it's fairly easy to use. You'll get the hang of it as you go along. We are familiar with the places but the fascinating details make you look at the locations in a different way. I highly appreciate the details provided in the tour and make you realise that Bristol is practically an open museum.
