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!

Thought the city to the shore to discover the magic! - 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 - 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.

Excellent Walking Tour of Downtown La Jolla - Such an insightful, educational and scenic walking tour of La Jolla. Loved it! Especially where the first margarita in the states was served, the #1 wedding location and Sunny Jim's Cave.

Spring break 2022 - Listening to the tour at our own pace! And getting in a workout at the same time :-). A side note: the only reason I didn't give it a five star , I was having issues with guided tour on my android phone. I had to share earpods with my daughter using her apple phone. Other than that it was an amazing audio guided tour.

Self guided Tour using own phones - Tour information was excellent and presenter was easy to understand. Would highly recommend and will use again. Areas that could be improved: There is a learning curve to any new process. It would be helpful if there was some way to practice rather then standing on the sidewalk in the middle of the city. Need better starting directions. Use building numbers to insure going in the right direction. Tour did cut out for some reason (apps on my phone maybe or loss of signal). It was not clear how to handle this situation. We started app from beginning and clicked on the marker for where we lost the signal. Biggest issue for us was that we each had the app on our phone and they were not in sync. One person would stop walking to listen and others were hearing nothing. Didn't know if app had quit or just was delayed for some reason. Using bluetooth with one phone and ear buds would have been much better. Still, all in all it was a great way to learn at our own pace and hope the technology can overcome these few problems to make it even better in the furture. (This was a self guided tour so did not answer your optional questions since they didn't apply)
