Wonderful visit to the Jewish quarter. We learned a lot

Carolyn_s, May 2025

It was so easy to follow. We stopped when we and then control. The directions were so east to follow. It was a gear visit

Crap.

Terry_S, Jul 2024

The first 10 minutes were great then I lost all the rest. could not get the rest of the recordings, all gone.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi there, I'm sorry that you couldn't experience the full tour as intended. Did you reach out to our support team via email or telephone using the contact details we sent you when you booked? This shouldn't happen, as all the tour files should download when you hit the Download button. The files may not have been fully downloaded if you had used a shared network, hotspot, or eSim. I'd like to understand better what went wrong, and I'll happily process a refund for you. So that I can look into this, please could you send us an email at support@voicemap.me with your booking reference number and details about what went wrong. Again, I'm sorry that you had this issue. Regards, Brent

Frustrating and disappointed

Alison_R, Apr 2024

We were unable to follow the route. It was very confusing to know where to walk. We did not see what we wanted to see. We were extremely frustrated and disappointed.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi there, I'm sorry that you had a frustrating experience. Almost all of VoiceMap's tours have a set starting point, follow a specific route and end at a specific point. In most cases, the tour's route helps build that narrative, so we recommend starting the tour in the right place at the start location and using the Start Tour button. It sounds like you may have started this tour in virtual mode, or used manual playback. Could you send more information to support@voicemap.me so we can identify what went wrong here and why this didn't work as it should have? Regards, Brent Black

Fantastic experience

Sir_B, May 2023

This was my first experience with a self-guided audio tour, and I am hooked! The narrator gave a terrific and powerful walk through the history of the ghetto, and I felt immersed the entire time. I would recommend this particular guide to anyone who wants to explore this corner of Rome.

Awesome and self paced

Harikleia_C, Feb 2023

I love the concept of this app – – it uses your GPS and your location to automatically start playing and stop playing. Very cool tour through one of the most beautiful spots in Rome. Make sure you eat at one of the establishments there in the Roman Jewish ghetto – – it’s really the best food in the city!
