Easy to use

Adele_G, Jul 2024

I was a bit concerned about a self-guided tour but it was really simple to use. It even got us back on track when we took a wrong turn. The tour helped us to learn about some of the best parts of Trondheim.

Rubbish

No memories. The app was too complicated to download the trip. Very frustrating! I won't be recommending this to anyone.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you had difficulties with the app. I'd like to know more about what specifically you found complicated. Can you email us at support@voicemap.me? We can then troubleshoot any issues you might have had. There are three simple steps to redeem and download your tour, so the experience should not have been complicated. Regards, Brent

Using a self guided audio tour

John_W, Aug 2023

My wife and I downloaded the app the day before our tour of Trondheim. The download of the app and the audio was straight forward. On the day of our audio tour we followed the instructions to the starting point, but they were setting up for a festival and we couldn’t get close. The directions kept saying that we were 4 meters away. But because the entire area was fenced off we couldn’t get any closer. It was very frustrating to be that close and not be able to start the audio. Finally my wife found a prompt that read “force start " and when she did the audio started. Then repeatedly while following the audio our “gps” tracker” would drift off the track and a voice would come up and say “all who wander are not lost, please check your map and return to the route”. We knew that we were on the track. It was the gps that showed us to be off the route. Very annoying. At the end of the route the audio thanked us for choosing to use them. It would have been nice for the audio to have an option to select to guide us back to the starting point.

Interesting walking tour.

Enjoyed the walking tour of inner Trondheim. Have been to Trondheim before, and learned some new things. Highly recommend.

Itinerary

Olav Tryggvason Monument

(Pass By)

Olav Tryggvason was king of Norway between 995 and 1000 AD and founded Trondheim in 997. He's famous for building the first Christian church in Norway. For those who have read old, Icelandic sagas, Olav is frequently mentioned.

Stiftsgarden

(Pass By)

The Stiftsgården is the Royal Residence in Trondheim. It was built between 1774 and 1778 for Lady Cecilie Christine Schøller. She was the widow of chamberlain Stie Tønsberg Schøller, a wealthy wholesaler and trader. She was also a prominent fixture of the city’s social elite. The Baroque-style building has more than 100 rooms and is the largest wooden palace in Northern Europe.

Kristiansten Fortress

(Pass By)

After the great fire of 1681 the Kristiansteen fortress was built on the hilltop to keep an eye on the city. It also had a strategic military position, and helped save the city from conquest by Sweden in 1718. During the Second World War it was taken over by the Nazis, who executed 23 Norwegian patriots inside it. The building is now a museum, which includes a dungeon that's open to view. If you see a flag waving over the fortress, it means that the fortress is open to the public.
