My husband and I each had an earbud in one ear while we took this tour, and it worked out very well that way. We could still hear what was going on around us and talk and both hear where to go on the tour. Annie, the guide, does a wonderful job explaining where to go and what we're looking at and why it is important to stop at each spot. Will definitely buy her other tours.

Perfect Way to Explore Ile de la Cite!
Fabulous tour! This was the first tour we took when we arrived in Paris. It was such a great way to explore Ile de la Cite and the heart of Paris. It gave us a great overview of the central part of the city, my husband and I shared a pair of earbuds and listened through my iPhone. Annie has the ideal voice to lead you through the area. We found the tour very easy to follow, and lots of "hidden gems". I highly recommend this tour!!

Informative, Entertaining Audio Tour
Annie’s audio tour is perfect—one can meander at your own pace, listening and learning about the sites right before your very eyes. I highly recommend her tours, especially this one, “Where Paris Was Born.”

Really seeing them!
My favorite so far of Annie’s VoiceMap Tours - I have them all and have done 3 others. Although I had been to Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame several times before, with this tour I felt that I really saw them. I loved finding the actual objects with the help of Annie’s photos and instructions.

Fun way to see Paris
Voicemap tours are such a great way to learn more about what you are seeing without breaking the bank for a personal tour. You have flexibility in stopping and starting and I listened to them before going to have a little preview.
This one has a lot about history and I would have missed so much without this tour. I love the Join Us in France podcast, facebook group and Annie is a wealth of knowledge. I just bought one of her new ones for my next trip. **note this tour does include some torture descriptions!

Great way to see historic Paris!
Excellent tour from Annie Sargent. Easy to navigate and so informative and interesting. You can stop anytime and continue whenever. I downloaded before our trip to become familiar with the area and to daydream. Such fun!

Absolutely worth the money.
This was a really well done tour. I loved that you could speed it up. I listened at 1.5x speed. So many great stories that was told. I felt like I was actually with a realTour guide.
