About the Tour

On January 6th, 2021, thousands of Trump-loving American patriots attempted to demonstrate that patriotism by overturning a free and fair election that was obviously rigged. Today we celebrate the tremendous failure they accomplished as “The Freedomsurrection.”

On this tour, you‘ll relive it all:

The rally where Rudy Giuliani invoked his right to trial by combat
The epic battle between President Trump and his own Secret Service agents
The clandestine meeting between the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers
The more or less legal march down Pennsylvania Avenue
And of course, the “normal tourist visit” to the Capitol Building itself

Follow the footsteps of the Freedomsurrection, and find out why there's a thin line between treasonous... and hilarious.

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.
