About this app

Experience the magic of GPS audio walks, cycles, drives and even boat rides with VoiceMap's self-guided tours in over 600 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. 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

Overall this app is good and I love being able to do audio walking tours. There are a few niggles in the app that would make it that bit better if they were fixed though. For example, you can't zoom out from the map and keep it zoomed out. This makes it hard to re- find the route if you go too far from the route. There is an annoying intermittent tone if you stop for too long. This means that if you want to stop for a drink and listen to other audio on your phone you need to end the tour.

Thanks for the feedback David. We've recently switched from Google Maps to Mapbox and we hadn't noticed the zoom issue you've described. It is irritating, and we'll fix fix it! I'm not sure we'll ever remove the tone that plays when you pause because pausing disables automatic GPS playback. But you can stop and then resume tours.

The guide was knowledgeable but the app was less successful. 4 or 5 times it said I'd wondered off course - even when I was walking next to the red line - which often joined the points on the route with a straight line and so went through buildings and so was impossible to stay on. Other times we'd walk straight over a narrative point and then have to back track and trigger it manually. Other times we'd be standing right on top of the marker - but still no narrative. Pocket mode doesn't work!

We're sorry to hear this Adam! There are a few potential culprits here: 1. GPS bounce on a heavily overcast day 2. Overshooting a location because the audio for a section was longer than the walk 3. Only giving location access "while using" the app We'd love to find out more so we can fix it. Can you email me? I'm iain@voicemap.me.

the app works pretty well. it allowed us to pause the tour so we could do something else and then restart again without much difficulty. it would have been nice if the tour descriptions had elevation changes, as the one that we went on was a bit hilly. not so much as to make it a bad experience, but we were a little surprised. oh, the tour we ended with basically an ad. here's a nice place to grab a bite if you're hungry. I'm sure that the narrator gets something from it, but it turned me off.
