    Being in control of the tour and having the opportunity to listen to it again if needed. Something you can't ask a tour guide to do! Very enjoyable looking forward to using the app again in other cities

    icon 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

    The audio tour was easy to use and full of interesting facts. I chose this option so that I could do it at my own pace, and rest when needed. I loved every minute of it and would recommend.

    Brilliant tour. Been to York many times but never knew the history behind certain landmarks and helps unearth some hidden gems that you never knew were there. A must for all those visiting and wanting to explore the history of York.

    Great walk but app didn't work

    The walk itself was lovely, but had to keep phone on so GPS would stay connected. App didn't work on my phone (wouldn't download!) so I had to share with a friend.

    Despite trying numerous times, and losing much time, I was not able to use it. Waste of time and money. We should have paid for an actual tour.
