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

Ratings and reviews

I took the Venice tour and it was amazing. Exactly what I needed in the dizzying, crowded streets. The information and storytelling were interesting, the navigation was flawless, and I saw many details I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I will definitely take more of these tours.

Fantastic! An amazing APP and an amazing tour experience. Highly recommended and worth the money. Interesting, insightful and delightful. What a great way to walk through Bilbao and get to know it intimately from past to present. I am not a tourist, live in the area and yet I still learned so much! Book now!

Really slick way to do tours. Narration was clear and interesting, maps were timely and accurate, tech worked right on the first pass. Had a glitch when we paused it overnight and the downloaded tour wouldn't restart next day. I sent in a help request and had an answer (try restarting the app) within minutes that worked. We used wireless earbuds with one bud per person so we could each listen in while keeping an ear open for traffic and chat. Highly recommend, I'm looking for more tours on it.
