Fabulous value, high quality tour.
Janet_A
, May 2022
Very straightforward to download and use. I used air pods, with my husband and I plugging one in each, that way we could hear the fabulous commentary but also chat about what we were seeing.
The commentary itself was really good to listen to, Alicia’s voice was attractive to listen to, we enjoyed the mix of historical facts and personal anecdotes. The fact that it worked with gps was amazing as it knew exactly where we were and spoke about ‘the gateway on your left’ , ‘the church opposite’ etc
Excellent value, I would recommend to anyone and will listen to others when I visit Whitby and Durham. What a great idea!!!
Didn’t work for us

Disappointingly lacking

Cambridge is a beautiful city and we took the tour to find out more about its history and the original use of building etc. The tour gave very little information, a few dates anc there was lots of silence between the stops. I have done tours in other cities with far more detail. This tour was lacking and I’ve come away not much clearer. The working tour does offer a route for seeing the city, but only a sentence or two on each item. Also anecdotes from her own life which is not what I’d paid to hear. Disappointing.
Great way to learn about a place

It was a great way to be guided around the 'must see' attractions of central Cambridge and learn about the buildings and people etc. Went at our own pace at a time that suited us, rather than having to fit in with someone else's timetable.
Particularly liked the personal account from our narrator - describing her connection to the city and some of her special memories such as her wedding.
The technical aspect was a little challenging - I'd somehow disabled the gps signal so kept having to pause the narration until I reached the correct location, but that said, it didn't spoil the experience.

We couldn’t download the app and were therefore unable to access the tour. I asked for help but nothing was explained. I would suggest that people are told to download the voice app before they pay. We would have loved to learn about Cambridge while we were there.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Hi Penny,
We're sorry you couldn't install the VoiceMap app. Did you see the instructions listed under Before You Go? It's available through the App Store and Google Play, and getting set up should only take a few minutes.
Who did you ask for help? We didn't received a support request from you, either by email or on our UK support line. Was it Viator? Their agents try, but don't understand this self-guided product unfortunately.
Please let us know where you got stuck! You can reach me by email at iain@voicemap.me.
It was an excellent way to get you walking around the town. I would recommend the punting along the backs to complete th

Old city, new tech

The tour was good with lots of interesting points around Cambridge. There were quite a few dead spots towards the end, with big gaps where we were just walking. The narrator was making an effort to speak softly, but the result was that it was slightly like an ASMR soundtrack. But overall it was very good, extremely good use of technology around this old city. Well worth the money.
Great value

Could not get the app to open. Tried for approximately 30 minutes and it continued to loop me back around each time.

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.

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.
