Dundee: coolest city in Scotland or sink of humanity? On this self-guided GPS audio tour, you decide for yourself as I take you beyond Dundee's main tourist attractions. During the tour, you'll encounter a heroic pigeon, James Bond's grandfather and the world's worst poet. You'll learn why Winston Churchill vowed never to return here and how to survive when in the Arctic. The tour is perfect for first-time visitors to Dundee as well as those who want to learn more about their city - such as by finding out how Dundee came to own the largest cut emerald in existence. This audio tour takes you on a 3km walk around the many sights of Dundee, as well as the hidden corners. It takes just over an hour without stopping but you can pause the tour whenever you choose. The audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

    Good but could be better with a few tweaks. 1. Regarding the Discovery Walk plaques on the pavement, the map's red guide line is on the wrong side of central plant run. You should actually cross at the second crossing. (It is ony 10 metres futher along.) 2. Towards the end of the tour after leaving the university mention is made of the Tay Rail Bridge. The bridge is no longer visible as tall recently built flats obscure the view. 3. Also at the end you are told to go throught the lemmings pillars and head towards the river. I took that literally and walked down the many steep winding steps when at the bottom I realised my mistake and had to climb back up, annoyed of course. The following narration would explain more accurately - "Walk through the pillars and stop in the park. You are now at the end of the walking part of the tour but before I go I want to mention a story centered on Hendersons the Jewellers that I previously hinted at." 4. The 18th century building at narrow lane adjacent to the Mecca bingo hall is in fact St David's Halls and would be better described as - "It is Dundee's oldest secular building, with some parts dating back to 1480". It is presently covered in scaffolding as it is undergoing restoration by volunteers. If workmen are around when you visit you are likely to be offered a tour but in any case will be open to the public when restoration is finished. 5. If I remember correctly there may be other very small issues. The developer nees to walk their tour again to satisfy themselves of the above. The should use a low end smartphone in case the GPS is not as good as high end ones. I used the latest edition iPhone SE.

    Had some difficulty starting after locating the first stop but after a call to the helpline were able to continue the tour. The app was very informative, great to learn the history of the city and of the people who contributed to the city.

    It was very interesting, and filled in a few hours for me, let me see and hear about parts of the history of the town that I might never have found out about.
