Introducing our Vancouver tours
Hollywood North. Lotusland. Raincouver. Vancouver has plenty of names, and on screen it spends much of its time parading as somewhere else, doubling for New York one week and Chicago the next, with the mountains slyly left out of frame.
The real city is easier to discover on foot. It sits between harbour and peaks, on Coast Salish fishing grounds that date before the cobbles of Gastown, and it has more to say for itself than any stand-in.
VoiceMap’s self-guided audio tours let Vancouver play itself. Hear why Gastown’s steam clock is more loved than trusted, or how Granville Island, secretly a peninsula, went from fishing grounds to factory floor to market stalls and studios. Cycle the Stanley Park seawall and learn about the Nine O’Clock Cannon kidnapping. Duck into the market when the rain arrives, and press play again when it leaves.
Put in your earbuds and let Vancouver play the lead.

How the VoiceMap app 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.
