      Perfectly paced, easy on the ears

      What an amazing experience, thank you. Your pace was exactly right. Four of us absolutely loved the walking tour, all interesting, Covent Garden, Dickens flat, Somerset house even though we had a very interesting tour there the day before, the Savoy cabs and carts!! Also, the voice was soothing and perfectly paced. Excellent 👌. Looking forward to another.
      Wonderful tour, so easy to use

      I am such a fan of these voice map tours! They are so well executed and truly entertaining. I am ordinarily very challenged with Google walk directions but voice maps made it so easy. Would tell me where to look, which way to turn, etc. And the narrator was terrific . I can’t wait to do another today !
      Highly recommend!

      I had a couple of hours to fill in our day and found this online. So glad I did! It was really interesting and fun to follow the route. We took longer than the hour but that’s why this is great- it’s totally up to you how long you take. We stopped and chatted here and there about what we were listening to - just paused the audio and I don’t walk particularly fast! We learnt some fab facts that I’ve been telling everyone about since arriving home! I shall do more of these in other cities.
