Loved the GPS synchronization which allows you to easily proceed at your desired pace. My phone lost GPS a couple of times along the path above the cliffs, but it was easy enough to restart yhe narrative.

A great tour!

app was very user friendly and, as it is GPS driven, it just start by itself when you reach important places. it also tells you you are lost as you took the wrong turn. Specific guide was a local and spoke very clearly. Great value!

Never did an audio tour like this before, but highly recommend it. Guided by a native to La Jolla, you learn the little secrets of history and fun. The crescendo was perfect to. This tour was a great experience!

La Jolla walk thru town and by the water

Published on Jan, 2023

Easy to follow - not too long with some interesting facts. The walk by the water is part of the tour and is beautiful. If you have time, this is an easy way to guide you and learn about the town.
