About the Tour

This walk is the story of one woman's move to the Outer Richmond. It's a story that involves everything from private investigators to scandalous driver’s ed teachers to friendship in unlikely places.

Sarah Weidman takes you on a journey through her search for a connection to the neighborhood. The adventure begins on 36th Avenue and Balboa by a yoga studio and ends with a hat shop on 26th and Geary. It takes in all of the Outer Richmond's charm and nuance.

You'll come to feel a part of this community, as Sarah's stories bring the shops and cafes of this unique little neighborhood to life.

You should be standing in front of Perusha Yoga on Balboa between 38th and 39th avenue.

As you can see from looking in the window it’s very artsy. And it has a very strong sense of community and love.

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
