Frequently asked questions

What is a self-guided audio tour?

A narrated walking route you follow on your own phone, at whatever time and pace suit you. Ours are published through VoiceMap: you buy the tour, download it in the free VoiceMap app for iOS or Android, and walk to the starting point. From there the app uses GPS to play each story as you reach the place it belongs to, so you are looking at the city rather than at your screen.

Do I need to book a time or meet anyone?

No. There is no start time, no meeting point and no guide to wait for. That is the main reason to pick one: you can start at eight in the morning or halfway through a Sunday afternoon, stop for lunch in the middle, and finish the rest later.

Do I need an internet connection while I walk?

No. Download the tour over Wi-Fi before you set off and everything works offline after that, so there are no roaming charges and a weak signal cannot interrupt you. You keep lifetime access to any tour you buy, and can listen again at home afterwards.

What do they cost, and how long do they take?

They run from 45 minutes to two hours of walking, most of them around an hour and a half, and cost €4.49 to €16.99 for the tour, once, not per day. Each card above shows that tour's own duration and price.

How is this different from one of your private guided tours?

A guided tour is a real person, booked for your group, who answers your questions and adapts the route to what you are interested in. An audio tour is a fixed recorded route you take yourself. The audio tours cost a fraction of a guided tour and need no planning; a guide is the better choice for a group, a special occasion, or anyone who would rather ask than listen.

Which cities can I do one in?

15 so far, listed in the filter above. If the city you are visiting is not there yet, it may still have a private guided tour, so it is worth checking the destinations page.
