“This was easy and fun. A good self guided tour of centre of city. Some good glasgow history and saw some off-the-beaten-track features like street art. Not a lot of detail on glasgow specific ghost stories. Felt more like a location/history tour given a ghost theme. But was still fun to do.”
A self-guided Harry Potter walk in Edinburgh with VoiceMap, offline audio, and flexible stops at Greyfriars and Elephant House.
“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…”

“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…”
