Informative self guided tour - This was the first time I had used such a guided tour and thought it was excellent. The technology allows you to take the tour at your own pace and not go off course. I certainly saw some wonderful buildings which I would no doubt missed without the guide. The length of the tour and the level of information provided were ideal for my visit.

Informative tour, beautiful town - An informative meander through Lavenham. We really enjoyed the tour and saw a couple of gems that I am not sure we would have discovered on our own. Set at a gentle pace that reflected the surroundings; the GPS activation worked very well and the directions were comprehensive and a breeze to follow. Highly recommended.

The best way to see Lavenham ! - Excellent guided walk that you can do at your own pace. Hugely informative and enjoyable Highly recommended to anyone able bodied (not suitable for anyone with mobility issues because of narrow pavement in places and steep streets)

Interesting and leisurely - The app was really easy to use and audio tour was really interesting. I liked the fact that gps tracked your phone and only started to talk when you reached the next destination. It was great for my friend who has a lung condition so fast walking was out. Would highly recommend and we are looking forward to our next tour !

Amazing little village - If it weren't for the cars parked on the side of the road you'd swear you'd walked back in time when entering the village.

Excellent tour - Well worth downloading this tour. The route led you round all the main things to see in Lavenham and gave lots of interesting information. We just bought one tour and listened to it together. This is the second Voicemap tour I have purchased and I'll definitely look out for them in the future.

Great - A nice little tour, and detailed enough to be interesting and engaging. Presumably because of the extra cost to purchase through VoiceMap it’s a little bit pricey for what it is, but enjoyable all the same.
