    Using the app is enough. Last 1000 steps you should without the guide. Get a nice cup of coffee in the Main Street.

    A very informative audio tour of the beautiful town of Røros. Nice sound effects and an easy to follow map. Well worth the cost (just under £6). We liked that we could listen back to the audio tour once home, as it was minus 24 degrees, which meant holding our phone and having to take gloves off to press play at each stop quite uncomfortable.

  • Great way to get to know Roros

    My first experience with VoiceMap and won't be my last. Easy to follow and maximum flexibility. Nice, clear reading voice. Very good overview of the history and significance of the town.
