Excellent tour on your phone

Needs more guided tour style interesting detail/facts and the silences leave you wondering if it’s paused.

Good route, but light on information
James_B
, Mar 2022
The tour gave a good route to follow. It allowed us to take in the sights and find things we would otherwise have missed.
We felt that the tour was very light on information - delivering it in one go with long periods of silence.
Running the tour separately across 5 people’s phones was a little problematic as the voice clips play based on you hitting a specific location - nobody’s phones seemed to agree on this, so the entire group was spread along the street listening at different times, meaning it was hard to speak or discuss anything without interrupting someone.
I wouldn’t do it again, but the route was good.
Time-saving trip

Gosh I'm still speechless (except for when I'm raving about the experience to my friends and family which is all the time!!). Honestly a fantastic concept and a stellar execution of it, I was genuinely gutted when it ended. As a solo traveler in York for a few days I wanted to see the city but didn't fancy a proper guide and wanted to do things my own pace! I also love veering off course to go into interesting shops or linger/skip bits based on my interests so I didn't want to inconvenience anyone else on an actual tour. VoiceMap was an amazing companion to have with me, roaming the historical city, cracking jokes and sharing facts. Would incredibly highly recommend!!
Great content. Auto-play by location worked flawlessly

Hadn't used VoiceMap before. We love Rick Steves' guides, but he didn't have one for York, so we figured we'd give this one a go. It was fantastic. Content and narration was great. And although at first it felt weird to cede control to the app to automatically play when we were close enough (rather than manually start the segment, as we're more used to with Rick Steves), it worked flawlessly. (You can manually start and stop as well, but we found we didn't need to!) We'll definitely use this again.
Amazing experience

Didnt work properly.stopped working at the minster not worth buying.good idea in principle but not in practise
Response from Host , Aug 2021
We're sorry you didn't get to do the full tour with automatic playback Kate!
It looks from our side like you either didn't give the app access to your location, to allow the audio to play automatically while your device's screen was off, or you skipped ahead manually – or possibly both. If you skipped ahead, you'd have seen a note saying this stops automatic playback.
Could you let us know which it might have been? We'd also appreciate any extra feedback you can give us about this because reviews of this tour are overwhelmingly positive. Over on VoiceMap, where we also have ratings, the average is 4.6/5 from 75 ratings at the moment. But if we spot something that we can improve to make this easier for the next person, we'll implement it ASAP.
Thanks,
Iain

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
