The commentary was well put together, the overall narrative was clear and easy to understand, and the route took me to locations I almost certainly would have missed. Well worth the money and time taken.
Easy to follow guide and interesting content to learn about York. Good to do at your own pace, i do recommend it.
Really enjoyed this audio guide. Worked so well! Loved the map and how it automatically turn on as we walk
The app works fine on iphone 16. No glitches. You can even decide to do not follow the route and listen when you want. Punctual info at dedicated points with some detailed info. Recommended.
Very easy to use. Great information and stories. Added a great deal to our enjoyment in visiting the city
Great way to see the history of York. Definitely recommend this walking tour. You can stop along the way and then pick up where you left off.
We really enjoyed the historical walking tour because we could take it at our own pace and it was lovely to have our own personal guy. Just write in our ear.
App very easy to download and use. Worked very well directions were clear. Content very informative and accessible. Audio was good quality. You could use it with a headpone in your phone in your pocket and not look like a tourist.
This was my first time doing a self-guided tour so I was a little unsure about how it would go, but it was a great experience! The instructions and app were very clear on where I should go at each step, and the tour itself was informative and entertaining. The only hiccups were a couple of the stops were closed off when I visited, but I suppose that can't be helped with something like this. It was very easy to skip ahead to where I was to go next. I especially appreciated the ability to pause the tour whenever I wanted, either to rest or take a closer look at something. Highly recommend it if you'll be traveling on your own.
The audio guides glitched, and some refused to work at all. I purchased 4 and only one!!! worked. I feel completely robbed and will never purchase a similar product from your site. If my Edinburgh hop-on/off bus is as useless, I will write a bad public review.
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. This is a very popular tour that usually gets great reviews, so it's unfortunate that you weren't able to do the tour. You do have lifetime access, so you could do the tour again on another day if you wanted to. Can you email more information to support@voicemap.me? This way, we can identify exactly what went wrong and process a refund if there was a technical issue. I'm sorry for your frustrating experience. Regards, Helene
