Avalon is very small so, this is a very short 'tour'. It was interesting that they don't start the tour at the dock - that would have made sense but it's well worth it.

By far one of the best things we’ve done as travelers who enjoy walking and sight seeing. This was really informative, extremely priced and allowed us to learn about Avalon at our on pace, on foot. We really liked that the tour guide (Matthew) was easy to hear and follow and there were guest voice appearances by local residents. FYI you MUST download VoiceMap to access this which was super clever. Good way to spend 45 mins to an hour.Great self paced tour of Avalon. Interviews w locals. History of Catalina was wonderful. This was my favorite tour!
