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.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

Koopmans De Wet House, Merchants on Long, Loaves on Long, Grand Daddy Hotel, South African Slave Church Museum, Greenmarket Square, Slave Memorial, Iziko Slave Lodge, Company's Gardens Restaurant

Best time of day

You can do the tour at any time, but I would recommend starting mid-morning or mid-afternoon to avoid the lunchtime rush.

Precautions

Pickpockets abound in the city centre, so keep an eye on your belongings. Please be careful when crossing roads, as many Cape Town drivers treat the traffic laws as suggestions. Pedestrians are just as bad, so don't follow their lead!

“This app has become my go-to app for audio tours. I pretty much use it for every trip and it works wonderfully. I highly recommend VoiceMap for travelers to truly experience cities.”
App Store Review
“Great app. walk around at your own pace, stop where you want, move on or speed up when you want. Read the script before you go or during the commentary, speed it up or replay it. Repeat the tour whenever you like.”
