Enjoyed it. Struggled a bit with the technology, but I ALWAYS struggle with technology! Managed only half of it, because I ran out of time (and had a grumpy husband at our holiday accommodation!). Well worth the inexpensive fee. Such an interesting town.
I'm afraid we didn't manage to get it to work so wasted two 'guides' and spent quite a lot of time attemting to get it to function. In retrospect we would have been better to do our own research beforehand and manage with our own map. It is a shame because I think the idea is a good one.
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 and process a refund if there was a technical issue. I'm sorry for your frustrating experience. Regards, Helene
Very good audio tour. Full of insight and quirks. Would happily recommend. Can't find any fault with it. Does what it says on the tin.
Some of the information was useful, but not enough about the rest of the buildings and not enough info on resuming tour if you had to leave it. Also it was difficult finding the start.
Hi Andrew I've sent you an email explaining how to use the Resume function so that you know the next time you use a VoiceMap tour. Keep well, Alicia
Very good guided tour, once I’d managed to download it (my fault - didn’t install the correct app… Needed the voicemap and not the Viator app to run it!). Wouldn’t really call it “eccentric” though - very interesting historically, brought my attention to several buildings and parts of buildings that I certainly wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Worth the money, and would use again for different locations if available.
