GuideGuides is a growing collection of uniquely crafted audio tours built on the VoiceMap platform. They literally put a tour guide in your pocket! You can listen to them on location ... or from pretty much anywhere, like an audio book.

Video-based tours are great, but they do require you to pay attention to what's happening on a screen. Our tours are different, portable and quite versatile. You could virtually walk along London’s ancient Roman wall while you’re walking the dog. You could picture yourself driving over to take in George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon when you’re really just heading to the grocery store. You could explore a world-famous museum, sinking comfortably into your armchair while giving your eyes a rest and cutting down on screen time. GuideGuides tours make these kinds of travel experiences possible, giving you choices on how to add discovery to your day!

We create our tours with two distinct audiences in mind:

1. people who travel to visit awesome destinations, and

2. professionals who lead tours themselves.

If you’re an intrepid explorer or an armchair adventurer you can listen to a seasoned tour guide share their excitement about a special place through their storytelling craft. A GuideGuides traveler tour is also a terrific 🎁 for anyone who you know is craving some adventure.

If you're a travel professional who needs to know the ins and outs of a destination -- or maybe refresh your memory about one -- you can tap into the knowledge of a Tour Guide or Tour Director who's been in your shoes and knows exactly which details you need to have so you can deliver a great experience for your guests.

We're just getting started with our catalog, with more titles coming soon!

Tours in our For TRAVELERS collection are handcrafted by tour guides with extensive experience at a destination and a passion for telling its stories. They will walk along with you, sharing their tales in their own words and voices.

The For TOUR GUIDES collection is a series of professional development tours which will support you in expanding your logistical and commentary knowledge of some incredible locations. They are developed by your peer Tour Guides or Tour Directors who have tremendous experience in leading at those destinations.

No, you don't need to physically travel. These days finding new ways to include journeys in our lives, beyond the traditional ticket + hotel kind, is going to be important as we sort through all of the health and safety issues that will be swirling around us for a while yet. Even though our movements might be temporarily restricted, our wanderlust doesn’t have to be!

GuideGuides tours can be listened to on your smartphone, tablet or computer. Listen to them at home, in your car, while you’re walking on the treadmill, as you’re relaxing in your backyard … and stay safe. Then, once you do finally get back “on the road” and are able to get to the destinations, you can listen to them again as you walk and take in the sights in person!

You need to download the info sheet for your tour and follow the details there to access the audio. You will also need a tour code, which we will email to you separately, within 12 hours of your purchase.

Our tours are built and hosted on the VoiceMap platform. You will be able to get to your tour using a browser or via the free VoiceMap app. For more information, please see your downloaded tour info sheet or look in the VoiceMap Platform section in Frequently Asked Questions.

Absolutely! Additional copies of a tour make for great presents or promotional gift items. When you purchase more than one copy of a tour, we will simply email you multiple tour codes. You can then pass on the codes however you'd like.
