Downtown Oslo: zelfgeleide hoogtepunten en audiotour door de geschiedenis
Beschrijving
Ben je het zat om deel uit te maken van grote reisgroepen? Maak je geen zorgen, want deze zelfgeleide audiotour door Oslo is voor jou gemaakt! Verken de hoogtepunten van Oslo met mij op de juiste manier: loop in je eigen tempo, ontspan wanneer je daar zin in hebt en neem zoveel tijd als je wilt. De tour begint vanaf het beroemde openbare plein van Oslo voor het stadhuis en volgt een route naar het Koninklijk Paleis, voordat je over de Karl Johan Avenue, de hoofdstraat van Oslo, loopt. Onderweg vertel ik je iets over de geschiedenis van Noorwegen, zijn koninklijke familie en zijn beroemde schrijvers. Je zult de beroemde historische bezienswaardigheden van Oslo bewonderen en ook een modernere kant van Oslo ervaren, met zijn winkels, straatmuzikanten en parlement. We eindigen de tour in Bjørvika, een baai met een perfect uitzicht op de Nationale Opera en Ballet. De rondleiding is klaar wanneer u maar wilt en de audio wordt automatisch afgespeeld op precies de juiste tijd en plaats met behulp van de GPS van uw smartphone en de mobiele VoiceMap-app, die ook offline werkt.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Aker Brygge is een winkelcentrum dat is gebouwd op de overblijfselen van een oude scheepswerf. Het is een populaire ontmoetingsplek om na het werk een hapje of een drankje te pakken.
Het gebouw van het Nobel Vredescentrum was vroeger een oud treinstation, waar treinen uit de westelijke delen van Noorwegen arriveerden. Het gebouw doet nu dienst als museum over de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede en vertelt het verhaal van de oprichter van de Peace Prize Alfred Nobel en de winnaars van het verleden.
Het park rond het Koninklijk Paleis werd gebouwd in de jaren 1840. Het heeft veel majestueuze bomen, goed onderhouden gazons en prachtige vijvers, sommige met fonteinen. Het park is een populair recreatiegebied voor de inwoners van Oslo en diende zelfs in het midden van de jaren zestig als basis voor hippies.
Parijs heeft zijn Champs Elysees, New York heeft zijn Broadway, Oslo heeft Karl Johan Avenue - of gewoon "Karl Johan". Het eerste deel van de straat was al in de jaren 1500 gevestigd, maar sinds 1852 staat het bekend als "Karl Johan" - genoemd naar de koning.
Vroeger was de Østbanehallen het centraal station voor de noordelijke routes in Noorwegen. Na een complete transformatie is de Østbanehallen in 2015 heropend en beschikt over winkels, restaurants, een hotel en het Oslo Visitor Centre.

The best part was turning of your completely out of date information and just walking and reading the signs. Waste of time and money.
Hi there, I'm sorry you were disappointed with your experience and felt you would be better off turning the guide off. It would be helpful to know what parts of the content were outdated. Specific information like this can help us identify which parts of a tour need updating. Could you send more information about what was not up to date to support@voicemap.me?
Great introduction to Oslo through this audio tour - enabled me to take it at my own pace, and stop and enjoy various points along the route. Very easy to follow and quite informative. Would look to do similar tours again.
I came across VoiceMap earlier this year and since then I have downloaded several self guided audio city tours. I love this way of discovering a new city, without being tied down to a group tour, but able to pause and resume whenever I like, and even take a diversion if I wish. The narrative is very informative and I like the occasional personal touches that the guide mentions. The narration sometimes goes quiet while you walk a stretch, then resumes when you get to the next point of interest, so you don’t feel overloaded with information.
The audio tour by a personality who knows the city well is an excellent idea. However, I would have liked the content to be more detailed and informative. The moments between speaking times are sometimes a little long because when there is a gap that lasts too long, you always wonder if you are taking the wrong route.
I downloaded it directly from App Store so its a little cheaper than via trip advisor. But thanks to Trip Advisor I found this lovely app! Walked from Central station to the starting point and passed by a lot of places that the audio tour guided. I don’t know if there’s a function in the app to start the tour in the middle which would be better, but it’s still enjoyable. At least I know the way/roads more clearly having walked past once before the tour. There’s a voice showing up telling me I might have gone to wrong direction from time to time but actually I’m going towards the correct direction, so I guess the GPS sometimes malfunctions a little bit.
We thought this looked like a great way to explore Oslo while we were in port. We bought this through trip advisor the morning of our excursion. Unfortunately, after downloading the app, the code provided did not work for us. We spent over two of our four hours in Oslo trying to call trip advisor and emailing this merchant. The merchant did eventually manually add the tour to our account, but we missed two hours we could have been sightseeing. We have requested a refund and have not heard back.
We're sorry you weren't able to use VoiceMap, and we have processed a refund for you. But your review does feel a bit unfair. The code you were given does work. We've tested it to make sure. We also have hundreds of customers using almost identical codes every day. Your code had the number 0 and the letter O, and we understand if this may have resulted in some confusion. Within an hour of receiving your initial support request, we messaged you through Tripadvisor clarifying that the code had both numbers and letters. (We also offered to give you a refund out of courtesy at that point, if you continued to find using the tour difficult, before you actually asked for one.) We then followed up with two emails, including one saying that we had added the tour to your account manually. You didn't reply to either of these two emails or our message through Tripadvisor. In fact, it was only through this review that we learnt that you couldn't use the tour in the end. We're sorry about that, once again, and we can appreciate your frustration in having wasted precious time. This is one reason why we do our best to respond to support requests so quickly. We would love to work out where you got stuck exactly, so we can address this if at all possible. Could you get back to us and explain in more detail? Thanks, Alex
Had a day "for over" in Oslo, and wanted to take me time to see the city. Known Voicemap from before other places, and was by tourist information to hear if they could recommend a trip. They informed that they did not know about Voicemapturer in Oslo, but after a search with the mobile I found this tour. A clear trip from the town hall via the castle and Karl Johan, before it ended up at the magnificent opera house in Bjørvika. It seems unfortunate that the tour is not available in Norwegian, but apart from that it was an interesting and educational tour.
This was new to me, but the Voicemap app worked quite well as a guide. Great alternative for those who do not want or do not have the opportunity to be guided in groups. But want to explore at your own pace with options for stops along the way, yet have a guide with you on the trip. Wish me more of this, but then I would like to in Norwegian too
A great guided tour! You will be guided through the highlights of the city, while you can control the pace yourself, and take a stop to eat, drink and possibly shop if you want. Simple and very user-friendly
This audio tour downloads to your smartphone. You can use earbuds/earphones and place your phone in your pocket during the tour. The guide tells you which way to walk and/or turn. If you get off course, a voice recommends that you check the map. In my opinion, it can be used with one of the rentable scooters (which is what I did for part of the tour)! Convenient, because you can download and go whenever you want, and can pause if you want to stop for food or shopping, etc. the start is a bit confusing because of all the construction near the first two stops. Also, this app guide you, with its own map, to exactly where to start!!! Did this tour on June 1st, 2019, and really enjoyed it.
