What’s this app?
Voicemap guides tourists and visitors through areas using the stories and facts, given by bestselling authors, expert correspondents, veteran broadcasters and passionate locals. This helps you find hidden gems in the city you’re visiting, while being guided by the people that love that area the most.
The whizzes behind this app
“I’ve had almost all of my best experiences when a local showed me their city. It immediately cuts through all the abstraction of being an outsider, because you become a participant, with a point of reference that helps you to identify with a place. You get to share somebody else’s feelings for their home,” explains co-founder and CEO Iain Manley.
What makes it so unique?
The problem, when going on vacation or visiting a new destination, is the person who advised you to go there didn’t tell you everything there is to see and do there. They also didn’t tell you about the shortcomings of the places. With Voicemap, you are guided around a destination by an expert on that region. This will also help tourists and visitors to South Africa to find our hidden gems.
