About the Tour

Experience Leavenworth from a local’s perspective on a walking tour around this small Bavarian-style city, which feels more like a village. As you meander between the Alpine-style buildings, you’re encouraged to linger and enjoy some of our favorite family spots before continuing on this circular route.

The tour starts downtown, right in the heart of our little village at its beautiful gazebo. From there, you’ll make your way to Barn Beach for a stroll through Waterfront Park alongside the Wenatchee River, before returning to Front Street and the gazebo. Along the way, there are a couple of surprises including the perfect swimming hole, shady promenades, and multiple Instagram-worthy photo ops, as well as exceptional food and drink options. Let us handle the details while you enjoy a slightly off the beaten path visit to Leavenworth, learning a bit of its trivia and immersing yourself in nature at its finest.

We’re a Leavenworth, Washington based tour operator. We got our start offering sightseeing tours on an amazing 6 passenger bike! We understand that not everyone wants to ride a bike so we started creating tours that people could enjoy how they wanted, when they wanted. Getting out and experiencing new places is one of our favourite things and we’re continuously creating new audio tours of special places. Happy Touring!!

I am Calen, I'm Eden and I'm Clayton. We are the Williams Family and we'll be your guides on this tour. We are Leavenworth locals and are excited to share one of our favorite family adventures. Our family enjoys spending time playing in the river, hiking the local trails, visiting the waterfront parks, eating out and of course enjoying ice cream. On this tour, we will guide you to a few of our favorite spots and it all starts and ends right here at the Gazebo in the heart of downtown Leavenworth.

Before we get going, let me explain how VoiceMap works.

It uses your location to play audio automatically at the right time and place. This means you can put your phone away now. Don't worry if I'm silent for a while, when I'm not giving directions or telling stories. There's a map on your screen if you ever feel lost and if you do get way off track without noticing, VoiceMap will let you know.

The tour starts now! You should be standing at the Gazebo right smack in the middle of downtown Leavenworth. If you're facing Front Street then just to your left is the downtown park. It's a family favorite when visiting Leavenworth. Many village activities happen right here in the park and at the nearby Gazebo. You can enjoy traditional German music and live performances for much of the year.

This is also the prime spot during the winter months to enjoy the Christmas Lights that make this town a famous winter destination. The lights go up shortly after Halloween and stay up until Valentine's Day. Look around at all of the huge trees and imagine all of them extravagantly lit with colorful lights. All of the nearby shops and hotels are lit as well. It is amazing.

Time to start walking. Face towards the downtown buildings and head left. Make your way through the park and follow the path alongside Front Street.

In the park during the winter months, children enjoy sledding and sliding down the short steep slope. During summer and fall, you'll observe kids of all ages literally barrel rolling down the hill. It is especially fun when the leaves are falling. Feel free to spend a few minutes here especially if you're with kids. I'm sure they'd enjoy running up and down the hill.

Leavenworth is an international destination and you'll see families from different cultures and backgrounds enjoying this lovely place. Listen to families as they pass and you'll hear different languages and accents. It is fun to try and guess where people are visiting from.

I'll meet you at the corner of 9th and Front Street. Read More

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
