Drive California’s Gold Country from Auburn to Placerville with offline audio, scenic river views, historic mines, and flexible stops.
“This was a great self-guided tour! Learned a lot about the gold rush and surrounding areas. The audio driving tour was very informative, directions were clear and timely. It was a very scenic drive as well.”
Explore Folsom’s Gold Rush past, railroad, powerhouse, and Lake Natoma on a flexible offline audio walk for $9.99.
“Three different places to start/Park. 1) app said at Moose Lodge. 2) link for directions said across street near histor power station. 3) Narrator said on other corner from Moose Lodge. With no picture and no customer service we were lost. The walking tour was slightly out of date, talking about businesses that were no longer there as if they were. Also VoiceMap kept kicking me out making me come back to get the code and reenter it every single time we paused tour.”
Drive California’s Gold Country from Jackson to Angels Camp with an audio guide, historic towns, outlaw tales, caves, museums, and mine relics.
“The tour took us to places that we would not have otherwise seen. The narration while traveling added to the experience.”
Explore Old Sacramento with a flexible audio walk covering Gold Rush landmarks, railroad history, Pioneer Square, and the Delta King.
“The downloaded app of tour of Old Sacramento is a scam.. the multiple confusing steps to download never worked. Their “Help” was an email & their help response was a snarky comment to just follow their confusing directions since no one else was having a problem.”
Explore Delta wine country by car with history, wineries, rural towns, and an offline audio guide from Sacramento to Clarksburg.
“The starting point is in a very congested shopping mall. Very hard to get out. The Hemley Cider place is closed indefinitely. No tastings. Wasted 30 minutes in there. The restaurant recommended by the host in Locke Al the Wops was not good for lunch. Husband got Fish & Chips, I got a burger. Nothing special. We could not finish the tour. That is as far as we got. Allow at least an hour more.”
Drive California’s Highway 49 from Placerville to Jackson with an audio tour covering Gold Rush towns, mines, wine country, and practical tips.
“Very informative and fun to learn of the history of the gold rush, the culture, and the towns along hey 49.”
Review of Yolo County Explorer, a $29.99 self-guided audio tour linking Davis markets, wineries, lavender fields, farms, and Winters.
“Really scenic ride. I had a bit of a self-induced tech hiccup when I first started, but quickly sorted it out and got on the road. Took exactly two hours. My wife and I are big wine enthusiasts - so we really enjoyed the insight into the local wine culture. Lavender fields were just starting to pop. Stopped at Berryessa Gap. Winters is quite an amazing place! I've used Wayfarer before down in SoCal. Would definitely recommend.”
