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

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
We have now used this app in 4 different cities, in the UK and Germany. Each time we have enjoyed exploring a city with a knowledgable guide. Its worth downloading the app and chosen tour at home/somewhere with wifi before heading out onto the streets, as some may find it a bit fiddly if their phone settings need to be adjusted. And don't forget earbuds/headphonea.

I highly recommend this app! There are loads of different tours to choose from around the world. It's a great alternative to walking tours with fixed times. If you want the social aspect, this is obviously not the best choice, but if you want to explore at your own pace and when suits you, this app is great. Just note, the tours aren't free. I paid £10.99, but it was a very informative and engaging couple of hours, so well worth it!

Great commentary in a real, human voice, good selection of places to see. It was great to be able to stop and sample some local (liquid) produce on the way - something that you can't do when you're on a group tour costing 10x as much! And you start when you want to. These self guided tours are the way forward.
