Great guide - Easy to use, very enjoyable and informative. Really nice that we could wander around Lavenham following the guide and stop and visit things on the way when we wanted. Felt like the guide was there with us. Husband and I shared a pair of ear buds linked to one phone. Worked really well. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful town - Such a lovely place to visit. So much history and beautiful tudor houses. Plenty of tea rooms and a couple of good pubs. We did an audio tour through the voicemap app and it was really interesting. Would highly recommend visiting here.

Very pretty village to walk around. - Lavenham is a delightful village to walk around to view the historic houses. The church is pretty too with some beautiful stained glass windows. We got parked easily on the Main Street & found a lovely cafe for a refreshing cuppa after our walk.

Informative self guided tour - This was the first time I had used such a guided tour and thought it was excellent. The technology allows you to take the tour at your own pace and not go off course. I certainly saw some wonderful buildings which I would no doubt missed without the guide. The length of the tour and the level of information provided were ideal for my visit.

Informative tour, beautiful town - An informative meander through Lavenham. We really enjoyed the tour and saw a couple of gems that I am not sure we would have discovered on our own. Set at a gentle pace that reflected the surroundings; the GPS activation worked very well and the directions were comprehensive and a breeze to follow. Highly recommended.
