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

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 here on the website.

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

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).
