Frequently asked questions
How do the audio tours work?
After booking, you download the free VoiceMap app (available for iOS and Android). Once you've downloaded your tour, simply go to the starting point. The app uses GPS to trigger stories automatically as you walk, so you don't need to constantly look at your screen or press buttons. It feels like having a guide walking beside you.
Do I need an internet connection during the tour?
No. After downloading the tour over Wi-Fi, everything works completely offline. This means no roaming charges and no worries about losing signal during your walk.
Is this written and recorded by a real human guide?
Yes. This tour is written and recorded by a real local guide. You'll hear natural storytelling, personal insights, and carefully researched historical context, not an AI voice reading out a Wikipedia page.
Can I start the tour anywhere?
The tour has a designated starting point and a carefully designed route. This ensures the directions and stories play at exactly the right moment. If you pause for coffee or step off the route, you can simply resume where you left off.
Can I pause the tour whenever I want?
Yes. You are completely in control. You can pause the tour at any time to take photos, visit a shop, sit down for coffee, or explore something in more detail. When you're ready to continue, simply press play.
Can I listen to the tour at home?
Yes. After downloading the tour, you can select "Virtual Mode" in the app and listen from home. This is ideal for preparing your trip or revisiting the experience afterwards.
How long do I have access to the tour?
Forever. Once purchased, the tour is yours to enjoy as often as you like. There is no expiration date.
Do I need to buy the tour for each person?
One purchase works on a single device. If you are exploring together, many couples simply share one phone and use a headphone splitter or share wireless earbuds. For larger groups, we recommend one purchase per device for the best experience.
What should I bring?
A fully charged smartphone, headphones or earbuds, and comfortable shoes.
What is the difference between this tour and a private guided tour?
This audio tour (€10.49) covers Delft in general and works at whatever hour suits you, offline and at your own pace. It cannot answer a question or adapt to what your group finds interesting. If you want a real conversation with a local guide, book the Highlights of Delft private tour instead.
Is the audio tour wheelchair accessible?
Delft’s historic centre has cobblestones, narrow pavements and a few steps along the route, and since this is a self-guided tour there’s no live guide to adjust it for you. If you have mobility needs, our private guided tours can be adapted to your pace instead, get in touch and we can help you choose.
Is the audio tour suitable for children?
Yes, families often do it together, sharing one phone or listening on separate headphones. The pace is entirely up to you, so it works well with children too.
