We’re calling Version 12 of the VoiceMap app “Rome” because we developed it to solve the problem of visiting the Vatican Museums. This treasure trove, collected by one pope after the other, for centuries, has 54 galleries linking 1,400 rooms with 20,000 items on display. It’s a lot to take in over a single afternoon. Then, at the end, when you’ve been overwhelmed into a tired, footsore resignation, you arrive at the crowning masterpiece: Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. Our solution combines inspiring, insightful content that extends your attention span with a new interface for indoor tours that helps you make informed choices about how you spend your time and energy. Here’s what you’ll find: • Locations are grouped into digestible sections, like chapters breaking up a book. Each section has a total audio time and labels like “Essential” and “Optional” to help you decide what to see. • Clear navigation along a suggested route with text directions that slide in when you need them followed by a photo of where you need to be next. • Tap “I’m Here” when you’re ready – or don’t, and choose “Skip Location” instead to get directions to the next point on your route. • There’s also a "Dig Deeper" button for locations that go beyond the basics, letting you pick what interests you most. • From start to finish, you’ll see your progress through the tour as a whole on a bar at the top of the screen. • Just below the progress bar, there’s a carousel displaying every location on the tour grouped into sections. It shows you what you’ve listened to already, and helps you tell whether an optional section just ahead has two locations or twenty. • You can use the new section menu to browse through the tour, with summaries to help you decide what you want to make time for as well as what might be best left for another day. • Or you can listen with your feet up whenever you like with Virtual Playback. This turns the tour into something you can take in like a podcast or audio book. • Some locations have multiple photos, and we’ve added pinch to zoom so you can get in close and see the finer details. • If you’re running out of time, or energy, but you’re still trying to take in as much as you can, you can adjust the playback speed to get through things a little faster, at a higher pitch.

Description of VoiceMap

VoiceMap tours are like podcasts that move with you, to tell stories about what you’re seeing right now. They're produced by insightful local storytellers, including journalists, filmmakers, novelists, podcasters, and tour guides. Sir Ian McKellen has even created a tour. It's around London's West End, where he’s performed for over 50 years. Features: • Explore at your own pace. Start and stop tours whenever you like, then use the resume option to pick up exactly where you left off. • With GPS autoplay, you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen. Tap on Start, and let VoiceMap guide you. • VoiceMap works offline. After you download a tour, the audio will be available offline along with an offline map. • If you do go off in the wrong direction, VoiceMap plays an audio alert, and you can follow the map on your screen to the next location. • Listen to tours as many times as you like, both in the destination and with your feet up, at home, using Virtual Playback. This turns every tour into a podcast or audio book. • With over 1,300 free and paid tours, VoiceMap offers huge variety VoiceMap works indoors too, and Version 12 of the app combines insightful content that extends your attention span with an interface that helps you make informed choices about how you spend your time at a growing range of museums and art galleries around the world. Press: “High-quality self-guided walking tours...Narrated by local experts, they provide insight into corners of the city sometimes overlooked by regular guided tours.” Lonely Planet “We may be biased, but could there be anything more helpful than having a journalist in your pocket when touring a new city? How about a historian, a novelist or just a really passionate local? VoiceMap culls city-specific stories from them all and fits them neatly into walking tours.” New York Times User Testimonials: “My wife and I really enjoyed exploring Bruges at our own pace with this audio tour, and there were some memorable stories that the narrator shared. Also, the app worked great in relation to the location-based services. We easily followed the map and the audio was triggered in the appropriate spots. In comparison to the packs of people wandering the city with tour guides, this was a much better fit for us.” Viator review, Rick A “Great quality information - interesting and entertaining. The time flew by. And no waffle! This is far better than any other guided tour we found - they are much more expensive and far less informative. And you can do this tour any time, any day, at your own pace, and even do it twice!” Tripadvisor review, Carcassonne 's Medieval Walls: A Self-Guided Tour "Thoroughly recommend. Really enjoyed the tour. Very well done. Packed with information and took me round streets I’d never have thought to walk round. An audio and visual treat. Thank you." Janet, NYC “Great quality information - interesting and entertaining. The time flew by. And no waffle! This is far better than any other guided tour we found - they are much more expensive and far less informative. And you can do this tour any time, any day, at your own pace, and even do it twice!” Tripadvisor review, Carcassonne 's Medieval Walls: A Self-Guided Tour “It was enjoyable to be under no time pressure to freely roam the city of Pisa as we so pleased. Wandering from attraction to attraction. The app is clever, concise and easy to use! Would do again - especially with another person or solo traveler.” GetYourGuide review, Grace L “Great value for money, interesting and very clear and easy to follow! I learnt lots about London I didn't already know and I have lived here over 30 years.” London’s Alternative History Tour, Carmella V. ** Just so you know, GPS runs in the background while you're on a tour. This decreases battery life and it's best to start a tour with your device fully charged.

Reviews of VoiceMap

  • Rome for Readers: A Literacy Tour of the Eternal City by Tiffany Parks

    I recently took this took while on a side trip to Rome. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so enchanted, educated and in complete marvel all at once. This tour leaves nothing left to be desired. Tiffany’s attention to detail and extensive historical reference brings every piece of Rome to life - as if you were walking back in time! I really loved the pauses in between points and the pace with which the tour was given. I couldn’t recommend this tour more and will certainly be taking any others that are offered!
  • Excellent driving tour 17 mile drive

    This tour was excellent. The information was just enough. The pace was great. We stopped and got out at Spanish bay and Pebble Beach. We pulled out at most of the other stops to view. Traffic was the worst at the Lone cypress so we didn't stop. We have dogs. EVERYTHING was dog friendly. We do tours this way because of dogs. We walked out on the boardwalk at Spanish bay. It's a must. We saw tge 18th green at PB. Even if you're not a golfer the $10 is worth it. You learn so much history that you would otherwise miss. Navigation was spot on!
  • Excellent App

    We used the App to explore Pompei since we did not want to be restricted by a tour or pay hundreds of dollars. The App works extremely well, even offline. With a little patience in the beginning, you get the hang of it really fast and it was so smooth, guiding us all the way and playing automatically once we arrived at the sites. I will say, I wish it was more thorough, there was a lot in Pompei that the guide did not explain or walk us through but I guess it would probably be 6+ hours to cover it all, so I guess it makes sense to keep it concise. We decided to go all the way to the end of the tour then explore the rest on our own and it worked just fine. Overall, it was really worth it for my family and I!
