Spacer po rzece Minneapolis: wycieczka audio z przewodnikiem

Przegląd
Welcome to Minneapolis, the home of Nerf Balls, the singer and songwriter Prince, and, yes, Zubaz pants. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll stroll along the Mississippi River. Along the way, you’ll hear about:

• The history of the milling industry in Minneapolis
• The massive Washburn A Mill explosion of 1878
• The 35W Bridge collapse of 2007
• The secret history of "Funkytown"
• An ugly mansion with 86 TVs
• Cougar attacks
• The untimely death of Tiny Tim
• The hiring of a hitman in St. Paul
• ”Untalented but adventurous” German artists, to quote the author Jonathan Raban
• How long it takes a single drop of water to travel down the Mississippi – and how long it takes a person to make the same journey

This walking tour can be enjoyed on location or even virtually at home with VoiceMap's Continuous Play function which disables the GPS playback.

The audio tour was great. The narrator was local and really added to the history. The quality of the audio was excellent.

Interesting voice over. Great to get some history of the area. Easy to use and clear directions given. Would say ending felt quite abrupt.

First time to downtown Minneapolis and thought this tour would give us the lay of the land. It was very informative, the walk easy enough, interesting history but I think would be better in the summer when there is more going on in the park area. It was pretty desolate in November. You really only need to pay for one person and everybody else will just listen in on your phone with a little speaker. I paid for four adults and we ended up walking in couples and at our own pace. The guy’s voice was a little monotone, but he did have some good stories. You really don’t even need to go into the bookstore. It’s just a starting point for the app to recognize where you are. Not sure why you needed to book ahead of time. That was quite ridiculous.
