About the Tour

Cubbon Park is a major green lung of Bangalore. Spanning several hundred acres, it encompasses thousands of trees and plants of hundreds of different species. This tour will take an interesting route that will cover all the major landmarks inside and on the periphery of this gentrified park. You will also uncover several hidden gems along the route. Topics include the evolution of Bangalore; The British legacy; Trees of the park; Victorian-era buildings and the five famous statues inside the park. After winding our way through the shaded lanes of Cubbon Park, we will end the tour in front of Bangalore's most majestic building, the Vidhana Soudha.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
