★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · 40 minutes to 1 hour (approx.) · from $11Our pick

Follow Harry Potter links across Edinburgh on a VoiceMap self-guided audio walk with offline access and lifetime replay for 11.99.

“We did everything we were supposed to do, but only 1 of the guides purchased actually downloaded, we waited over 3 hours in hopes that the other would download with no luck so we had to share. While walking around it was very finicky with the location, and wouldn’t allow you to play any audio unless you were right on the spot. Overall, the technical issues far outweighed the actual content of the tour and I’d never purchase another audio tour through this company.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 29 reviews · 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $8

A self-guided audio walk through Aberdeen’s grim past, from gaol stories to body-snatching, witches, and harbour punishments.

“This tour should definitely be updated as there are lots of construction sites through out the walk. Furthermore, some of the walk will guide you though not so nice parts of the city that seem unnecessary. The starting point is hard to see through construction and I wish we would get more background knowledge of the sites we pass.”

“Actually a very good idea, but the app doesn't work well. I didn't know where ti go next because the app was already ten steps ahead and didnt stop playing the audio. So I had to open google maps to navigate myself. Also, when I took some photos the app stopped.. Really annoying. I prefer doing normal walking tours with experienced guides.”

“It was our first time using the app. Overall, the experience was relatively good. Sometimes it knew exactly where we were, but sometimes it didn't, which was a bit challening. This particular tour was very focused on the city's architecture, which I didn't recall from the description, so if you aren't as interested in that aspect of the city's history, you may want to try another tour.”
