Q&A

Q: Is this audio tour suitable for kids? My nephew loves art but is only 10.

A: The audio tour doesn't have specific age restrictions, but some themes might be a bit mature for younger audiences. If your nephew has an interest in art, he might enjoy it, but I’d suggest listening to a few sections first to see if the content is appropriate. It’s self-guided, so you can skip any parts that don't feel right.

Q: How does the offline access work? Do I need to download anything?

A: You need to download the VoiceMap app first on your device. Once you purchase the tour, you can download the audio files, maps, and geodata for offline use. It's super handy if you're out and about in Philly without Wi-Fi! Just make sure to check your storage space.

Q: Can I do this tour any time, or is there a specific season for it?

A: You can definitely do this tour any time of year! Since it’s self-guided, you have the freedom to start whenever you want. Just keep an eye on the weather if you're outside, and be prepared for the heat in summer or chilly winters! Dress comfortably and wear good shoes.

Just finished the Art and Controversy tour in Philly!

I recently did the Art and Controversy audio tour in Philadelphia and wow, it was so much fun! I loved learning about the Rodin sculptures and the drama around them. It's crazy to think about scandals in the art world, especially the ones that shaped Philly’s scene. Plus, you can do it at your own pace! Perfect for a gift or just a day out with friends. Highly recommend it if you’re into art!

Considering gifting the Art and Controversy tour!

My friend loves art but doesn't know much about the scandals in Philly. I think this audio tour would be a perfect gift! I read that it covers some cool stories. Anyone know how long it takes to complete? I want to make sure they have enough time to enjoy it without feeling rushed.
