Additional Information
Embark on a GPS audio-guided tour through Avalon’s pathways with your host, Matthew, who is one of the town’s 4000 citizens. As a resident, he is often queried: Do you dwell here year-round? Is it pricy? What’s the story behind the grand mansion on the slope? Why is everyone driving golf carts? And, how is a casino operational with no gambling allowed?
We will team up with historians, authors, and enthusiastic locals to stroll through Avalon’s lanes and respond to all these inquiries and more. From the actual inhabitants, you will uncover the narratives behind our town and its renowned sites.
The tour is at your disposal at any time and the audio automatically resonates in sync with your location thanks to your smartphone’s GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which can operate without internet connection.

Informative, Interesting and Fun Walking Tour - My boyfriend and I did the walking tour the night we arrived. Even though we've both been to Avalon before, we learned history we didn't know. Liked how the tour continues automatically when you reach the next location. Was a great way to get an overview of the city and to start our 4 day vacation. Recommend it!

Cool lil Audio Tour - GF and I download the self guided audio tour and we enjoyed the info that was provided as we followed along while we walked. Recommend to do the self guided tour after having breakfast or lunch to walk off the food. A+

You won’t regret this tour and it won’t break the bank! - 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.

If you’re wondering what you’re looking at in Avalon, this tour is for you. - At many stops on the tour a local expert would explain what you were viewing. That background knowledge made the sights so much more interesting.

Nice overview of Avalon - We enjoyed hearing the history of many of the buildings on the island. Once we got the tour going, it synced well as we walked along the route.

Very easy to use and gets the job done - Decent with good info. 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. We went in late June and there were no crowds on a Thursday - so enjoyable. No cars make it way less hectic as well.

Doesn’t work - The code didn’t work. No one answered call. Couldn’t use the tour at all. Tried both confirmation and booking numbers
