About the Tour

Tijdens deze wandeling zullen we daadwerkelijke plaatsen zien die Dickens bezocht evenals plaatsen die in zijn romans worden genoemd. Beginnend bij de Kathedraal van St Paul, die Londen domineerde in Victoriaanse tijden, begaven we ons door oude steegjes en kerkhoven, zoals St. Peter's, Cheapside waar de jonge Dickens voor het eerst aankwamen in Londen. We horen verhalen over de personages die verbonden zijn met de stad, met name Ebenezer Scrooge die de Geest van Kerstmis de trappen van de Royal Exchange af zag komen. We eindigen bij de sierlijke Leadenhall Market, een favoriete plek voor een Dickens-films.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

VoiceMap’s audio tour app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place. Just install it, then download your tour and go to the starting point to begin your walk, drive, cycle, train trip or even boat ride.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

Tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. This is how we provide turn-by-turn directions. It also helps publishers tell a story greater than the sum of its parts. But you can use Resume to pick up a tour from the closest location whenever you like.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and the VoiceMap website. Your access to tours doesn’t expire.

Take virtual tours anywhere

Just select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours at home – or anywhere else. You’ll see the option after you download the tour. You can also listen to the whole tour at voicemap.me.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you’ve purchased a tour, it’s added to your VoiceMap library. If you sign into the app using the same method you used on the website, you’ll have access to your full library of tours in both places.

Use VoiceMap offline

The VoiceMap app works entirely offline if there’s no data connection, so you don’t have to pay roaming fees. Just download the tour over WiFi before you get started.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

St Paul's, Guildhall, Royal Exchange, Leadenhal Markt

Best time of day

Overdag is het beste, vooral als je Guildhall wilt bezoeken. Het is veel rustiger in het weekend wanneer kantoren gesloten zijn.

Precautions

Houd bezittingen in de gaten. Probeer voetgangersoversteekplaatsen te vinden omdat het verkeer onvoorspelbaar kan zijn.
