Great experience! - The two of us bought a pass online and used it to walk the beautiful scenes and homes of Carmel. The quality of the app as well as the narrated content was great. We will use the same experience in other destinations.

Must Do When in Carmel by the Sea! - I cannot say enough good things about this audio tour! I highly recommend it! We actually did 2 others in addition to this one (Off the Beaten Path and Fairytale Cottages) during our time in Carmel, and they were all fantastic! The format was easy to follow and understand. We learned so much about Carmel and the history of the houses and different locations around town. We would have missed so much of it had we not taken this tour! It takes you to so many beautiful things to see. I vote this as a "must do" while you're there! Just wear your walking shoes!

Excellent audio tour! - Best audio tour I’ve ever used. The VoiceMap software is perfect for a self-paced tour, and the content was engaging. Be sure to download the app and tour before you start, and be sure your phone is 100% charged. A lovely tour of the town near the ocean. Highly recommended!
