My wife and I (along with Oscar, our dog) enjoyed listening to the audio while walking in front of the houses and buildings. We have found it very interesting in every aspects (history, construction influence, etc.)

Download and Set up Disappointing l

Sue_D, Dec 2023

Sadly I did not get my code until it was too late to take in part of the tour. My next two tours did not ever show up for me. So I had to buy them directly from Shaka Tour. I’m only out $14.95, but it is the first time Viator has not lived up to the expectations.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Sue Are you sure you booked a VoiceMap tour? You mention in your review that you booked directly with Shaka Tours, a different company. I've checked and there's only one Tucson tour booked at the end of December. The redemption code was emailed and SMS-ed to the person. Kind regards, Alicia
