Introducing our Dunedin tours
They came for gold and stayed for the architecture. Scottish settlers planted their new Edinburgh at the foot of the South Island in 1848 – and when the Otago Gold Rush arrived, it turned their modest colony into New Zealand's wealthiest city almost overnight. The money didn't last, but the buildings did: the Railway Station, ornate in Flemish Renaissance black and white, cost a fortune in a city that briefly had one.
Grand Victorian facades line the Octagon a short drive from a wild peninsula where royal albatross wheel over a coast Kāi Tahu knew as Ōtākou long before any prospector arrived. The Dunedin Sound
– lo-fi guitar music the Crown Hotel helped send into the world in the 1980s – feels like a natural product of a city that has always preferred doing things well over doing them loudly.
VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours follow both threads. Walk the gold rush heritage past Gingerbread George's
railway station and Robbie Burns in the Octagon, or cycle Otago Harbour's stories to Port Chalmers, where Scott once departed for Antarctica. Earbuds in, Dunedin does the rest.

How the VoiceMap app 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.
