You need to understand... - You need to understand stand how the app works and to make sure your settings on your iPhone are set properly before beginning the tour. My partner and I had different settings so it was confusing at first as we were not in sync. The audio tour was great. - we really enjoyed it and have recommended the app to several other people

A great way to get to know a new place - What a fantastic way to get to know an area in a very short time. The commentary was informative and entertaining. Good job sir, thank you for showing us your home. We leave Isafjordur thinking we are leaving an old friend and will be back one day 🙂

Self-Guided Tour of Ísafjörður: Art, History, and Architecture - This was the first time we’ve used this Voice Map product. We were pleased, and enjoyed the self-guided tour. Great that it also worked with our mobile phones having airplane mode turned on. It was also nice that a local person was the speaker of the tour.

A great way to see Isafjordur - The tour was great, easy to navigate, and very informative. Having a native resident tell us all about his city was an awesome experience. The tour gave us insights into Isafjordur that we never would have gotten on our own or with a tour book. I would do a tour like this again after this experience. 5 STARS!!

Walking tour - Well, scripted and thoughtful tour. I recommend the tour for those with a few hours in town. We met the author’s wife when walking by their house. She was Incredibly nice!

Small town tour. Save big money! - Narrator introduced himself using light humor and childhood memories all the while pointing out historical places and events. Technology is top notch with notifications should you wonder down the wrong path. Putting green was a delightful surprise along with the recommendations for pastries at the bakery. Great excuse to get in our steps in an otherwise small, sleepy town.

Walking tour - Fun experience walking through Isafjordur with a local. Information given and sites seen would not have been found on our own. Voicemap was a little tricky at the start, but easy to use as we went along. Looking forward to using it for future tours

Overview of the town! - It was average. We were able to see the highlights of the city. The gps map from behind the Sun Street Catholic Church was a bit off and confusing. There was also an extremely irritating smell coming from the factory behind the church. Other than that, it was good.
