⭐️ RATING: 4/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 2-3 hours | ✅ Book it!

This self-drive audio tour takes you along California’s iconic Pacific Coast Highway, Highway 1, from Monterey to Pismo Beach with stops at beautiful and must-see locations such as Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, Partington Cove, Bixby Creek Bridge, Andrew Molera State Park, Pfeiffer Beach, McWay Falls, Limekiln State Park, Jade Cove, Hearst Castle, and Morro Bay.

Once you book the tour, you will receive instructions on how to download the app, which contains a map with all the stops marked for you.

The route can be completed in 2-3 hours, but you have the flexibility to vary that time as you wish.

You can take as many breaks as you need, and go at your own pace.

The tour information does not expire, and no cell signal or Wi-Fi is required after the app has been downloaded.

To start the tour go to the Starting Point and launch the app. The audio starts automatically.

The tour is very cost-effective. You pay for one audio guide per car, not per person, making it more affordable than traditional guided tours. And the tour is completely planned out for you.

The concept is the same – you buy the tour, download the app when you have internet connection and enjoy the self guided audio tour as you drive along the coast. It also works offline and never expires.
