Overview

Chaucer, murderers, pilgrims, actors, witches. Canterbury is not simply a city of pleasant coffee-shops and quaint gardens. The shady corners and ancient buildings conceal stories, mysteries, and speculation. This will be a whistle-stop and anecdotal tour of one of the most famous cities in England. Walk in the footsteps of the medieval pilgrims, who flocked to see the shrine of St Thomas Becket. Along the way, you will pick up some quirky facts and – importantly – some eating and drinking tips!

The total walking distance is about 2km and takes just over half an hour without stopping. The VoiceMap app uses your location to trigger each part of the walk automatically. So, relax, enjoy exploring and feel free to pause the tour at any point!

I was not able to open the app as the area had terrible internet connection. So it did not work at all for me. Perhaps useful to suggest travellers to download the app and be able to listen without internet connection?!

Informative and entertaining guided walking tour through Canterbury. Included anecdotes about lesser known buildings and events. We also liked being able to do it at our own pace.

Once downloaded it appeared to start at a set time...why?? We downloaded in advanced so missed half an hour before we started. My wife had trouble with hers cutting out and after a short while gave up. I found it hard to set up and would not call it user friendly. If there was a way to go back to the start I certainly couldn't find it.

really good value for money, although we didn't really need to purchase 2, 1 could've been shared. Easy way to see a city and hear all the history at your own pace, would definitely use again on another city break.

A great independent tour. I'm not sure the starting point 80 St. Dunstans Close is quite accurate, I moved from there down the road and found the church myself and from that point it was great. I had been on another tour of Canterbury but this tour gave me lots of different information. It was great the way the audio tour guide paced their spiel to coincide with my walking speed. Once I was underway I just put my phone in my pocket and listened through the earphones leaving hands free (to wheel my bike). Great to be able to stop and start the tour when I needed to and certainly gained a lot of information from it. A great thing to do on your own or with others. Great value for money. I wish it had gone on for longer.
