What to expect
After booking, you'll receive a unique code to unlock the tour via the VoiceMap app. Install it on your smartphone, enter your code, and the app will direct you to the starting point with GPS precision. Plug in headphones and begin: narration guides you through Edinburgh's medieval closes and wynds, sharing the harrowing history of accused witches whilst pinpointing significant locations. The route is hilly with uneven surfaces—wear sturdy shoes. You control the rhythm entirely; stop to photograph, read plaques, or duck into a café without losing your place. Audio and maps work offline, so mobile signal isn't essential.
