What to expect
After booking, you'll receive a unique code to unlock the tour in the VoiceMap app. The app pinpoints your starting location and offers turn-by-turn directions as you walk. Once you arrive, press play and let the narration guide you through winding Gothic streets and across bustling squares. You'll encounter centuries-old architecture and cultural landmarks at your own tempo—stop to photograph, sit in a café, or double back without losing your way. The audio works entirely offline, so no data charges or connectivity worries. Most walkers complete it in 75 minutes, but you can stretch it to two hours or return another day to revisit favourite spots.
