About the Tour

Singapore is a young country but an old city. Beneath the tall skyscrapers and the shiny windows is a city that is almost 800 years old.

In the next hour, we will explore the story of Singapore from kingdom to republic. But this is not a history tour. This is an adventure into the heart of Singapore city.

All proceeds from this tour received by Zach will be donated to one of three local charities: Boys Town Singapore, Pertapis Children's Home and Canossaville Children's Home.

Heartlander Tourist

1 tour

When seeking to take a break from his work, The Heartlander Tourist walks around the city, and snaps images with his phone, trying to find images and stories worth telling as A Local Tourist, an idea he belives passionately in.

If we are bored by the place we live in, and if the humdrum of daily life gets us down, than can we be anything more than breathing robots? So break out of that existence of mundanity. Be a local tourist and see your city and your life, through a different lens!

Reinvigorating your daily life costs nothing.

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.
