Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Last minute decision to do this audio drive tour due to the terrible weather. Great decision to get out and see some sights.
Took maybe the first two stops to get used to how the app worked and what the icons meant.
Would have been good to have bought the national trust all day parking ticket at £8.50 for the day, but we didn’t realise until too late. Each carpark is a diver so it would add up so we missed a couple of stops.
Overall, thank you, great way to spend a day and useful and interesting commentary.

The weather was awful, so it was great that we could pick and chose where we wanted to stop (rain permitting) and what we would keep for later. The tour took us to places with wonderful scenery that otherwise we would not have found. Great app, VoiceMap worked seamlessly, I can highly recommend it. Thanks for all the effort Martin Wilson put into this.

This tour was brilliant. It took a little getting used to as the instructions are a little sparse to start with but once you get going it's easy to understand. We went to so many hidden spots we'd never have seen as we aren't local. The sights were stunning, especially the the kirkstone pass Inn and the little layby beside ullswater lake. An amazing day out! We spent 6 hours doing this your as we got out to see everything! I would recommend taking ALOT of change ready for the car parks as there are alot of pay and display car parks on the tour (though you can skip them if you don't want to explore the area). One of the best days of our holiday!! Thanks Martin!!

Always loved going to this part of the world for many years, however two things are now very apparent, one that's the numbers of people going there. If you plan to go ensure you've booked places or tables to eat or sit at. An awful lot of day visitors swell the numbers. The prices being charged now in pubs and restaurants are in many cases very expensive! There has been substantial investments by large financial groups who've been buying up the hospitality sites and increasing prices well above the normal. Be warned, I think in the long term this will damage the attraction of the area. Do your homework and plan ahead if your going. Still beautiful X

A great experience, offering an informative audio guide that brought the town's history to life. This well-planned 5K route covered key sites at a comfortable pace, blending historical insights with scenic views. It's a must-do for anyone local (like us) or anyone visiting Keswick, combining education with a leisurely walk. Highly recommended!

This tour was a great way to easily and affordably take in many beautiful areas of the Lake District simply by following the audio directions. Martin, a native of the region, is humorous and extremely informative, and we loved being able to start and stop(and occasionally rewind if we missed a turn) whenever we wanted or needed to. We experienced sites we never would have without this audio guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Narrative was OK, but not too exiting. Driving directions could have been much better. Got lost in a couple of areas and spent quite some time getting back on track.

A very enjoyable walking tour of Keswick discovering different parts of the town that we didn’t know existed and learning all about the fascinating history. The length and pace of the tour are just right with a stunning ending by the lake. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting this lovely town.

It was a waste of money for me as it only gave directions and gave very little information. I already knew where to go and had read the information boards. I had been there before and I had a map.

Hi there, I'm sorry that you were disappointed with this tour. We understand it may not be to everyone's liking or taste. Did you listen to the whole tour? The tour's narrative takes you through 2000 years of Lake District history, from Roman forts to Victorian architecture. It guides you through towns, pointing out historical landmarks and offering interesting insights from the publisher. This self-guided tour isn't intended as a substitute for a map. Perhaps, because you had been to the area before, you were more familiar with it than most and felt there wasn't enough new information based on your knowledge of the area? This is a highly-rated VoiceMap tour, and I'm sorry that it didn't meet your expectations. Regards, Brent
