Wouldn't work 😔

Lisa_F, Feb 2026
I've used Viator a few times successfully & really enjoyed it. But I had to add a new app this time & I tried for an hour and half to get it to work and it wouldn't. Really frustrating and disappointing. I won't bother again.

Palma history in a nutshell!

Reg_W, Feb 2025
If you have little time on a first visit to Palma, this is an excellent resource and interesting exploration of the historical center. I would definitely recommend. I really enjoyed the highlights by the guide. The only limitation is relocating oneself if you find yourself getting off track..An improvement would be to link somehow with GMaps

Fabulous Palma

Great stories about main points of interest & hidden gems. Sandra is a super guide. Loved the flexibility of audio tour.

Una misión imposible. La app más deficiente del mundo.

JoseManuel_L, Sep 2021
No me gustó nada de nada. La aplicación "VoiceMap" no para de bloquearse y tienes que cerrarla del todo, volver a abrirla y marcar el punto manualmente. Y no es una cuestión del terminal móvil, ya que tengo un gama alta con el Snapdragon 888, 8 GB de RAM, etc. La aplicación está muy mal optimizada, no es sólo que te funda la batería del móvil (eso ya te avisan), el problema fundamental, es que no para de bloquearse, es imposible poder hacer el trayecto tranquilo. Muy pero que muy deficiente. Me esperaba algo muchísimo mejor. Ojo: La gran pega, es la app. La idea, es buenísima. Hay otrow paseos autoguiados en ésta web, que son geniales, al utilizar otra app diferente.

belle découverte mais appli énergivore!

Katia_S, Oct 2020
l application est une belle découverte, cela permet de découvrir la ville a son rythme à prix très abordable. seul bémol: l'application est très énergivore (batterie du téléphone très très vite utilisée). Peut etre serait il possible de développer aussi une version avec juste la carte et l audio, sans aucune géolocalisation pour économiser de la batterie...
