Come on down to The Crossroads in Clarksdale, MS, just south of Memphis. Home of the Blues and many Blues music legends including Muddy Waters and Sam Cooke.

There are so many things to explore from the world famous Delta Blues Museum to Canoeing on the Mighty Mississippi. Take a free self guided walking tour or select one of many professional guided tours. Shop in the downtown Arts & Culture District. Dine out at an eclectic mix of old and new school restaurants. Stay in unique spaces, luxury lofts, a hostel, or a new 3 story Hampton Inn. And of course there's “Live” Blues Music Every Night in clubs and juke joints. Plus over a dozen festivals throughout the year.

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

We'll take you by most businesses downtown, and highly encourage you to pause the tour to check them out. If it looks open, pop in and say hello!

Best time of day

The tour is outdoors -- so noon in July might not be your best bet. Any time you feel like a comfortable stroll, come join us.

Precautions

We often stop at spots with benches and/or shade. Of course it's always a good idea to bring your own water.
