About the Tour

Come join me for a stroll along Marina Beach, India's longest. This tranquil setting comes alive in the evening with hawkers selling their wares and people enjoying the sound of the waves and the fresh air. While you soak up the sea breeze, I'll be introducing you to the personalities that have shaped not only the Tamil language, culture and politics, but that of India as a whole. We will journey through the centuries and discover the mavericks who have defined what it means to be not only Tamil, but human. Discover Tamil history in this tranquil, yet vibrant setting.

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

Thanthai periyar maaligai, Vivekananda house, Lighthouse

Best time of day

A Good time to visit Marina Beach is in early morning hours or in the evenings. Walking along the beaches during sunrise and sunset is always a pleasant experience. In the evening, this beach becomes crowded with numerous stalls selling artifacts, handcrafted showpieces, ethnic jewellery, and food items.

Precautions

Usually this area will be crowded, so keep your belongings safe.
