Will be using VoiceMap Audio Tours whenever we can! - This tour was great. We got into Auckland late in the afternoon and were able to continue the tour the next day. Really liked that we could go at our own pace.

Fantastic Auckland Walking Tour - I really enjoyed this self-guided walking tour. It was very easy to follow, and the tour itself was very informative and interesting. It took me to parts of the city I had not discovered on my own. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to do things at their own pace.

Great self-guided walking tour - A nicely put together self-guided tour, well-paced and produced. Ideal for a few hours solo in Auckland. Definitely saw some interesting things and learnt facts that what otherwise have passed me by. Economical and flexible

Very enjoyable and interesting tour - we thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour! Interesting and diverse, app excellent, got off track a couple of times but referred to map on phone screen and it was easy to correct. Will be doing more voicemap tours, a great way to experience a city.

Lovely historical tour - Wonderful stories and history. Easy to walk at our own pace. Our only problem was it had been downloaded since we do not have cell service here, so when we paused it would not pick up where we had left off.

Discover Auckland’s history and hidden gems at your own pace. - Oh my gosh, this was perfect for us! We wanted to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes places of Auckland, but didn’t want to be with a group or stuck with a guide. We spent about 4 hours (because we made so many stops to linger) and had a delightful day exploring Albert Park, the University of Auckland, a street fair, an amazing chocolatier where the owner gave us samples, and discovered a restaurant in an art deco hotel where we’ll be returning for dinner tonight. And a plus, the tour ended right at our hotel: the Hilton. Loved it!

Incredible, safe, awe inspiring - Very safe, incredible experience. Rachel and Scott were very friendly whilst maintaining safety protocols and standards. The Altitude experience was amazing in particular the three ziplines. Well done on an incredible 700 metre course!

Nice - It was really nice. I got lost once & the app does NOT help you find your way as stated but it was still very educational. The reference to certain shops was nice, especially the Queens bar at the end.
