About the Tour

Manchester United is one of the most prestigious, respected and feared teams in world football.

This is a self-guided, walking tour around the iconic Old Trafford football ground. While you do the dramatic walk leading to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’, you'll experience the history of the club and then explore the ground. Finally, you'll step into the Class of 92’s newly built Hotel Football.

My name is Bernie Smith and my co-author is Maureen Hunt. Together we wrote the book George Best: A celebration. As avid collectors of George Best memorabilia, we came to realise that every collectable, keepsake and souvenir had a special story surrounding it.

Join us as we share with you the special city of Manchester, its rich football history and the special footballing stories it has to share.

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.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

Old Trafford Museum, Hotel Football, Café Football, Old Trafford Supporters Club.

Best time of day

Anytime between 08:30 and 18:00. Avoid using the tour during football game time, as the Munich Tunnel is only open to ticket holders.

Precautions

Take care passing the busy A56 by using the pedestrian crossing.
Keep to the outside of the stadium, rather than follow the inner tunnel (or the GPS will not trigger the audio content).
