Introducing our Edinburgh tours

Edinburgh. Auld Reekie. The Athens of the North. Where medieval alleyways wind through volcanic rock and every cobblestone whispers secrets in a Scottish brogue. This is Robert Louis Stevenson's hometown, where Harry Potter was born, and where witch burnings once lit up Castlehill.

But Edinburgh guards its stories like a Highland clan protects its secrets. You could join the crowds trudging up the Royal Mile with guidebooks, missing every ghost, every brilliant tale lurking behind ancient stones.

VoiceMap's Edinburgh audio tours lead you down narrow streets that tour buses can't reach. Just pull on your earbuds and let the city's real voices guide you through Burke and Hare's body-snatching trails, J.K. Rowling's magical inspirations, and the bloody secrets of Grassmarket's gallows. All at your own pace.

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.
