I had the pleasure of enjoying this audio tour over the holidays and thoroughly enjoyed it every step of the way! There is so much history and natural beauty in the area and what a treat to have it told to you by a La Jolla native! If you're in the San Diego area and looking to take in the beauty of the shore and a little history then this is a great option.Cathy_M

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.

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)judym76
