It didn’t work, waste of my money! How can I get a refund? There are free guides by scanning a QR code at gate
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. Can you email more information to support@voicemap.me? This way, we can identify exactly what went wrong. Did you not receive the email and SMS with instructions we sent you when you booked? We can troubleshoot the issue and process a refund if you email us your details. I'm sorry for your frustrating experience.
1 star. The directions provided for the meeting point and entrance are completely wrong. I spent 45 minutes walking in the wrong direction before finding the entrance on my own — only to arrive and find the gate already locked. I was not permitted entry to the ruins and left having wasted both my time and my money. This is not a one-off issue. Multiple reviews have flagged this exact problem and nothing has been corrected. That is unacceptable. I paid for an experience I never received. Do not book this tour until the operator fixes the directions.
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about this experience. The directions to the meeting point haven't been an issue for most visitors on this tour, so I'd like to understand exactly what happened in your case. Could you email us at support@voicemap.me with more detail — where you started from and where the directions led you astray? That'll help us look into it properly, and we can sort out a refund from there. Thank you, Alicia
Easy to follow route. Very informative re Ancient Agora. Even included up-to-date information re change of entrance location.
The directions from the app did not take us to the correct meeting point. We had difficulty finding an open entrance. One entrance was closed. It was pretty good once we finally got inside.
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. When you were having difficulties finding the entrance, did you contact VoiceMap support via email or telephone? We are contactable by both telephone and email, so we can provide support on an issues on site. Again, I'm sorry about the poor experience you had.
It was hard to get started. It says you will receive a code, but you dont. It was until I clicked the contact button where I found a message written with my code. Then once entered, the app kept crashing. So much that we couldn't even use it.
Hi there, Thanks for the detailed feedback. I want to clarify one part: it sounds like you did receive your code — it was there in the message you found via the contact button — so it wasn't actually missing, just not where you expected it to appear at first. That's still useful for us, since it means the way we surface that message could be clearer so people don't have to go looking for it. The app crashing once you'd entered the code is a separate, real problem, though, and I'm sorry it got in the way of using the tour at all. Could you email support@voicemap.me with your device type and the tour name? We'd like to look into what's causing the crash, and sort out a refund given you weren't able to use it. Thanks again for taking the time to explain what happened — it helps us fix things properly. Best, Alicia
The visit to the Ancient Agora was one of the highlights of our family time in Athens and much of that is thanks to our exceptional guide Christina! She transformed a collection of ruins into a vivid living story of ancient Greek life! She was knowledgeable with an ability to bring history to life. She didn't just recite dates and facts she painted a picture by bringing all the elements of history harmoniously together. The pacing of the tour was perfect neither too fast nor too slow providing us with plenty of time to explore and ask questions. She was attentive, enthusiastic and clearly passionate about the history which made the entire experience feel personal and immersive.
The audio tour was okay. My frustrations is that It wasn't made clear until after I purchased the tour that the entry ticket to the Agora was not included. In my opinion, that fact should be highlighted immediately.
Hi there, Please note that we include the following at the top of the product description: _____ This self-guided walking tour does not include entry to the Agora. It's not their official audio guide. Please check online for entry fees and opening times. _____ I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. Can you email more information to support@voicemap.me? This way we can process a refund if you email us your details. Best, Helene
There aren't many group tours available for Ancient Agora, so having this audio guide was very useful and helpful in navigating the site. We saw a lot of people who looked lost or confused about what they were seeing. Important to note that you will be required to download an app and create a login. Save your data and time by doing all of this while on wifi. I liked how the app could track where you were on the site and the audio kicked in as you approached each important stop.
The entrance was under construction so there was a new starting point which did not match up with the tour. Could not adjust to new location.
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. Thank you for flagging this, we're looking into how the construction is affecting the starting point of the tour and will publish an update soon. 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. Best, Helene
Easy to use audio guide that we gained more knowledge than if we had done a self guided tour. The audio and GPS locators were very responsive and easy to use. The only downside was that the normal entrance is under construction and we wandered around for awhile to find the starting point as the audio guide starts where there is no current access.
