- ginamJ8219ZI0 contributionsHeartfelt palace of memories!Oh this was so enjoyable, so beautiful, we absolutely enjoyed Kensington Palace and gardens! The cafe had delicious tea and coffee and bakery goods! The paintings of Queen Victoria were lovely, also her dollhouses!! I loved the wallpaper of Princess Diana in the hallway!! So adorable!!🩷 Miss her so much!! Loved seeing where she had lived! Also where Prince William and Princess Kate lives with their beautiful family! I absolutely loved the gift shop!! My daughter bought me beautiful earrings, that reminds me of Princess Diana's jewelry that she wore!! Absolutely loved her statue overlooking the garden pond!!Written 29 September 2024
- rikirockzz0 contributionsA Wonderful Self-Guided Tour Experience!I recently took the Cambridge’s Colleges and Classic Sights self-guided audio tour and had an excellent experience. Anna Granta, the narrator, was quite nice and provided insightful commentary throughout the tour, making the history and architecture of Cambridge come alive. The navigation was smooth and easy to follow, even for someone new to the area. The tour is well-paced, giving you time to appreciate each location without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Cambridge and looking to explore at their own pace!Written 16 September 2024
- R812EJjonathang0 contributionsA good interesting 1-2 hour tourI recommend the Cambridge audio tour. There was some “friction” getting my code to unlock the tour. There’s a small bit of the tour that’s out of sate as it makes a detour to avoid an entrance previously closed due to Covid-19. But overall my experience was positive. It’s a well written tour with factual information rather than the made uo anecdotes and ghost stories aome tour guides offer.Written 17 August 2024
- Trail7634240 contributionsDoesn't load.You have to walk to the start of the tour, in order to start the audio. It won't load if your not at the start point. Very inconvenient.Written 29 July 2024
- fayes8710 contributionsInsightful Britpop memories from someone who lived it!Excellent tour of Camden from a Britpop point if view. Loved Mirandas stories and bring able to discover places I managed to miss in the 90s! Highly recommend for anyone who was into the Britpop Scene in the 90s or anyone who wants an insight into what it was actually like (my 21 year old cousin enjoyed it). The walk itself is just the right length - you know you've had a good explore but you are not shattered. I won't spoil it but the final destination may be somewhere you can grab a well earned rest and a pint!Written 4 June 2024
- Journey507350 contributionsNostalgic trip back to the 90s!Really enjoyed this tour of Camden and it’s Britpop history! Great to hear from someone who was there at the height of the scene and get personal insights. I was in Camden from 1996 onwards so it was interesting to hear more about the early years. There was a good mix of local history of Camden and the music scene and why it developed there, told in a humorous and friendly style. Plus we all ended up in the Dublin Castle afterwards for a drink - I have such fond memories of DC with it being the first place I went to for a gig after moving to London.Written 3 June 2024
- neilkM1417YR0 contributionsIf you remember the era, well worth doing!A hugely interesting and informative tour with a great host and wonderful speeches. Huge respect to Miranda and all her hard work. A truly lovely walk as well around that area of North London. Thank you! Book with confidence.Written 2 June 2024
- hollyrK4743MX0 contributionsPerfect experience for any Britpop fanFantastic tour for any Britpop or ‘90s enthusiast alike. Full of detail and personal anecdotes from the guide Miranda. Really enjoyed the fact it extended to Primrose Hill and ended at the iconic Dublin Castle.Written 2 June 2024
- ChinnorJim0 contributionsFun and interesting afternoon in CamdenThe voice tour uses an app called Voice Map which tracks you using GPS to trigger the information. It was very interesting, easy to use and fun. It took me into parts of Camden I’ve never seen which was cool. I’d recommend this to any fans of Britpop music but also anyone visiting Camden and wanting to see some of the lesser known parts.Written 1 June 2024
- Global410462923520 contributionsBreakthrough Audio tourMy wife and I love audio tours. Convenient, flexible, informative, personalized. For our May trip to London we discovered VoiceMap. This was a breakthrough. The app uses GPS to lead you around, and direct the tour. The app is free and easy to use offline. The tours are not, but worth it.Written 27 May 2024
- Discover235030006890 contributionsFun true crime experienceI really enjoyed this. The mix of narration and scenes was really cool, made it feel very immersive. Im definitely gonna try more of these self guided experiencesWritten 9 May 2024
- Sunshine584727853750 contributionsThe best audio tour I’ve come acrossThis audio tour was brilliantly done. A truly authentic experience. I felt completely immersed. I would highly recommend for those wanting to do a tour in their own time with no big groups!Written 8 May 2024
- Sazzlerc0 contributionsFun, informative walk round LondonA really fun, informative walk round Green Park and beyond, learning all about Oscar Wilde's life, works and relationships. Really enjoyed the commentary and finding out about some of the more hidden gems on this route and quirks like Wilde's penchant for smoking and running up bills at his hat shop. Also enjoyed taking peaks down little alleyways and looking at statues and places you'd easily otherwise miss without this audio. Thoroughly recommend whether you're a Wilde fan or just looking for something different to do in London.Written 8 May 2024
- wernert6860 contributionsInsightful and seamlessSaw most major sights in Cambridge. Such an insightful audio tour. Worked well using GPS to auto-play the next recording. Seamless experience!Written 21 April 2024
- Explorer5526510 contributionsExcellent value for moneyFantastic value for money. Exceeded our expectations. Easy to use and to follow. Being able to leisurely enjoy at our own pace without crowds of others was very a big plus. A number of interesting places to explore with the addition of insider knowledge rich with history. I would highly recommend this.Written 9 April 2024

Like having your own personal guide. Not too detailed, just enough to make it informative and interesting. Will be using this service again. Remember to visit the Guildhall too, terrific museum. Best Cream Tea ever!

A nice little tour, and detailed enough to be interesting and engaging. Presumably because of the extra cost to purchase through VoiceMap it’s a little bit pricey for what it is, but enjoyable all the same.

If it weren't for the cars parked on the side of the road you'd swear you'd walked back in time when entering the village.

We found the walking tour to be great. We walked around parts of Lavenham which we wouldn't have visited otherwise and learned a brief history of a range of buildings including a number of the houses so we understood what we were looking at.
The style of the narration was really good, almost as if the guide was with us at times. The GPS function worked perfectly with the audio resuming as we reached each point of interest, which were also shown on the map as part of the app.
The app even guided us to the start point of the tour as a Satnav.

An excellent easy to follow walking tour. The person telling the history was easy to
understand and made it very interesting , I would highly recommend this tour which took about an hour at average pace, there were plenty of opportunities to take lovely photos of the ancient buildings.
