Adelaide's Queer History: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

★ 4.0 · 2 reviews⏱ 1 hour – 1h 30m📍 Australia

About this tour

Navigate Adelaide's queer landmarks and lesser-known histories at your own pace with this self-guided audio walk. Over 60–90 minutes, you'll hear stories tied to specific sites—from the significance of a pair of pink polyester shorts to broader moments in the city's LGBTQ+ culture. Created by Katina Vangopoulos, who cut her teeth guiding tours across Europe, the VoiceMap app handles directions and plays commentary automatically as you move through each stop. Start whenever suits you, pause to linger, or revisit the audio from home.

  • Queer landmarks scattered across central Adelaide
  • GPS-guided narration works offline after download

What to expect

After booking, you'll receive a unique code and instructions. Download the VoiceMap app, enter your code, and let it guide you to the starting point. Headphones on, tap play, and the app narrates each stop via automatic GPS playback. You control the rhythm—sprint through in 60 minutes or spend two hours at one location if a story grabs you. The narration covers pivotal queer moments in Adelaide's past and present, woven to specific addresses and buildings. Works entirely offline once downloaded.

Good to know

Museum and attraction entry fees aren't included. You'll need your own smartphone, headphones, and data to download the app initially. The route suits all fitness levels—it's walking-paced, not hiking. Once booked, you own lifetime access; use it before your date or after, whenever you like.
