Overview

Take a self-guided GPS audio tour through the streets of Avalon with me. My name is Matthew and I am one of the 4000 residents of Avalon. Being a local I get asked a lot of questions. Do you live here full time? How expensive is it? What is that large house up on the hill? Why does everyone drive around in golf carts? How can you have a casino that doesn't allow gambling? Along with historians, authors, and other passionate locals, we will walk the streets of Avalon to answer these questions and more. You'll learn the stories behind our town and its famous landmarks from the people who live here. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Great experience. Able to enjoy the area at our own pace. The narrative was great and very easy to follow. Would highly recommend

Had a good time with my cruise mates on the D.J. Shorty Smooth Cruise.

Overall satisfied and enjoyable. Spent the day touring the Island with my cruise mates from the D.J. Shorty Smooth Cruise. Eating, drinking and shopping.

Excellent self guided tour! Must do!

Published on May, 2024

This was one the best self guided audio tours I’ve had. The guides were engaging and the directions were very clear on where to go next. Lots of little side stories were fun. I was sad that it ended. I learned a lot about the city of Avalon while exploring on a beautiful day. Highly recommended!

Informative, Interesting and Fun Walking Tour

Published on Sep, 2023

My boyfriend and I did the walking tour the night we arrived. Even though we've both been to Avalon before, we learned history we didn't know. Liked how the tour continues automatically when you reach the next location. Was a great way to get an overview of the city and to start our 4 day vacation. Recommend it!

Cool lil Audio Tour

Published on Jul, 2023

GF and I download the self guided audio tour and we enjoyed the info that was provided as we followed along while we walked. Recommend to do the self guided tour after having breakfast or lunch to walk off the food. A+
