Great way to explore an area - This was easy to use and a good way to pass some time while learning some history. We’re not familiar with the city so got off track a few times - I’d recommend regularly checking the map when changing direction but otherwise it was easy to use with your own headphones and flexible with dates/times to do it.

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.

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.

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.
