This was so well done. Easy to follow, the perfect tone and very informative. I only wish that it were longer.
No code sent on the day of purchase. Support not get back to me when I bought this in the city. Unfortunate as there were no English tours today so this was the only way I could see the city. Not reliable if you buy in the day of your tour
Hi there, I'm sorry this got in the way of seeing the city, especially with no other English-language tours available that day. I do want to mention: the code was sent to you at the time of purchase, so it may have landed in a spam or junk folder rather than your main inbox — that's worth checking, and also worth keeping in mind for any future same-day purchases. I'm also sorry you didn't hear back from support when you reached out that day — that shouldn't happen, especially when someone needs help before their visit. Please email support@voicemap.me now with your booking details, and we'll help sort this out and arrange a refund given you weren't able to use the tour. Thanks for letting us know, and I'm sorry for the frustrating experience. Best, Alicia
Simply surprising
I was worried we would get turned around or that the audio tour would be dull, but neither were true! The narrator was engaging, funny, and entertaining. We were able to walk at our own pace and take pictures without being rushed. Highly recommend!
Great walking tour of treviso. Very informative. Easy to use. Value for money. Took us to a lot of interesting places. Recommend
Languages like Spanish and French are missing. Not everyone can speak English. Otherwise it's pretty complete.
Easy to follow. Great way to see the area at your own pace. Beautiful canals and architecture. Nice to here the stories that go with the area.
A perfect short and cost effective introduction to Treviso. Done at your own pace and to your own timetable.
