About the Tour

A complete newbie's guide to the Leeds city centre by a curious, chatty out-of-towner. Tie up your laces and join a British traveller to discover the intricate architecture, markets and streetside attractions of one of the United Kingdom's oldest towns through fresh eyes, and perhaps learn a thing or two.

I am a travel loving fiction writer and blogger. I've been to 87 countries and didn't like any of them (kidding). I'm from the north of the UK and this has left me speaking super fast and being either overly sarcastic or confused. Sorry about that.
I love doing new things and having a life that gives me something to write about. Find me on Insta @dante.harker

Leeds Town Hall and Start of Tour

Hello, I'm Dante Harker, I'm a Yorkshire man with an Italian name. Sadly, this isn't because I'm Italian. More just that my parents were drunk when they chose it. If you didn't find that at least a little bit funny, stop listening now 'cause it's up there with my best work.

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.
