It didn’t need to be so complicated.
It was crazy trying to download the apps needed and being transferred from one web page to another having to put in numbers. I tried to download the app needed even using a hotspot and it was going to take almost 2 hours. I couldn’t use the tour even though I paid for it.
Response from the operator: Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. We recommend downloading your tour using a WiFi connection, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. When you were having technical difficulties, did you contact VoiceMap support via email or telephone? We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong. We also provide a map to the tour on your screen, which is especially helpful for driving tours, so we'd recommend having a look at the map if you're uncertain about the route in future. Once again, I'm sorry for the experience you had. Best, Alicia

Good info but glitchy to operate
I found this really difficult to get started and to follow the navigation. Maybe it's trying to be too clever? A simple map might be better but maybe it's just operator deficiency? Anyway, the info was good when I finally got it to work.

Great experience
Easy to follow. Narrator had good speaking voice. I liked that the app followed my location and it knew where I was.
via Viator
Perfect solo activity!
This was perfect for a low stress, high impact hour of time. I took it slow with a few stops to eat a currywurst and ice cream. The information was interesting and the app kept me in the right locations. Well worth the price.
via Viator
Fun to walk around and see the sights
The most memorable was the Roman walls. But I did enjoy the recreations of the old city almost as much.

The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Frankfurt.
How much does The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Frankfurt usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Frankfurt is not rushed.
Is The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Frankfurt, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Frankfurt can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Frankfurt and add a light layer if any part of the 0.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Tales of Frankfurt's New Old Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Frankfurt within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Frankfurt?
+
On Outty we rank every Frankfurt experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frankfurt Highlights English Walking Tour, Heidelberg Castle and City Day Tour from Frankfurt, Guided Axe Throwing Experience in Frankfurt Altstadt. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Frankfurt?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Frankfurt?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
