pace with
VoiceMap’s self-guided audio tour app

  • Explore on your schedule

    Start and stop VoiceMap tours whenever you like, instead of being herded along in a group. Grab a drink, take in the view, then tap Resume to pick up exactly where you left off.

  • Automatic GPS playback

    Focus on your surroundings, not the screen, with turn-by-turn direction and audio that plays automatically at the right time and place. Just tap on Start, and let VoiceMap guide you.

  • Use the app offline

    Avoid expensive roaming fees or fiddly connection issues by downloading VoiceMap tours in advance. They work offline and include offline maps.

  • Listen as often as you like

    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 an audio book.

  • 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.

  • I do VoiceMap wherever I travel. I love it. One time I made the mistake of doing a group tour and it was three times as much and not very engjoyable. VoiceMap is great because I can go at my own pace. I always am able to understand the speaker as they're in my ear. And if I want to stop and explore and see something and come back, I can. I can also do it at any time of day. Sometimes I do it in the middle of the night. Sometimes I do VoiceMap in the morning sometimes. It's so nice.

  • We have done a few of these tours in the UK, Italy and France. They are an excellent way of introducing yourself to a town and learning a bit about its history and culture. Some have some tasty food stops along the way. We’d highly recommended this app

  • Felicity’s voice is just lovely and her explanations are great, full of anecdotal & curious detail as well as the necessary background needed to understand how this park came to be; why it was - and remains - so important for madrileños, and how it fits in the puzzle of Madrid’s geography & history. Really enjoyed wandering around with my headphones on while listening to the guided tour!

  • Really enjoyed this tour! I GPS worked perfectly. The content was riveting. I think I only pulled out my phone once or twice!

  • A variety of things to see in the city, combined with the stories behind them, really drew me into Amsterdam’s roaring past. The more recent stories about the city were also amusing and interesting, and all told with warmth and heart.

  • This was a perfect way to explore Bruges at our own pace. The guide was delightful to listen to and shared stories and legends from the perspective of a knowledgeable and funny local. So glad to have done this tour to experience beautiful Bruges.

  • I have done dozens of VoiceMap tours, and I think I can say this is the best. It gives an incredible feeling of place and culture, combining respectful humour with insight into history and the evolution of Hutongs in recent years.
