Explore Aberdeen’s darker past on a flexible audio walk covering gaols, witches, bodysnatchers, maritime punishments, and more.

“Great story but a bit ‘ify’ in parts for the directions at points & possibly due to a combo of locus & poor connectivity. However when you pass the multi storey flats its a point of danger. These flats are rife with crime & not sure that tourists should be alone here. Im a native & had concerns. That aside, the commentary was great, very informative & plenty to learn from the tour itself”

Explore Dundee’s comic heroes, art, philanthropy, poetry, and video-game history on a flexible one-hour VoiceMap audio walk.

“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.”
