Why Self Guided Audio Tours

We believe that self-guided audio tours have the potential to be even better than group tours. You can take them at any time, for instance, and go at your own pace, stopping to take that perfect picture or pop into a store. These advantages make a self guided tour a good fit for almost everyone!

Icicle Audio Tours chose to partner with VoiceMap because their tour app gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. You can start our tours at any time and stop whenever and wherever you like, for as long as you like. You don’t even need to hit pause. The app uses your location to play audio automatically, at exactly the right time and place, and when you start moving again, playback will too. It also gives you directions, making it much easier to put your phone away and immerse yourself in your surroundings, not the screen.

We’re a Leavenworth, WA based tour operator. We got our start offering sightseeing tours on an amazing 6 passenger bike! We understand that not everyone wants to ride a bike so we started creating tours that people could enjoy how they wanted, when they wanted. Getting out and experiencing new places is one of our favorite things and we’re continuously creating new audio tours of special places.

Audio tours are a perfect way to explore at your own pace, with no schedule or large groups. You can start, pause, or restart at any time. The audio will move with you and tell stories about what you’re seeing right there and then. When you hear the right story at the right time, it changes how you look at familiar places as easily as our perceptions of somewhere new.
