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?…

Very interesting and informative - We enjoyed very much the way the narration guide told us where to go and knew when we arrived, so it could automatically start speaking. The content was just right, informative and light-hearted.

Easy to follow self-paced tour - This was a great tour that was easy to follow and allowed for personal side trips as you took it. No pressure to keep up. I learned so much about Catalina Island I wouldn’t have known without its excellent narrative. I will undoubtedly take more VoiceMap audio tours. Perfect format for a solo traveler.

Catalina highlights at your own pace! - This was a great way to learn about the island, while taking a leisurely stroll! There was lots of interesting and entertaining information. We felt like we got to see and learn about the highlights of Catalina, while exploring at our own pace. Fantastic!

Walking tour of Catalina - If you want to quickly and easily learn about Santa Catalina this is a very easy way to do it. Simple, in-expensive and very professional. Headphones recommended but we got by without them. All you need is your phone..

Very nice walking tour! - Very informative and easy to use. All four of our group was able to easily hear the narrative with just one of us downloading the necessary app. We visited during off season, so may be different during high season.

Good for a leisurely stroll around the shore. - The app made for a good self-guided stroll around the bay shore. Purchase was a bit more complex than we initially expected -- you need to download the Voicemap guide app from your App Store, then use a code that's emailed to you -- but the setup was easy once I got my email connected. This is all easy if you set it up before your trip, but it's still quite workable if you do it on-the-spot while you're standing in Avalon! There are a few instances where the auto-play would trigger on the wrong point -- an artifact of overlapping paths -- but these are pretty easy to work around. All together a better experience than some other guide apps.

Did not work well. Not user friendly - Did not work very well for the four of us. It is not user friendly. A waste of $28. Probably would not purchase in the future.

A terrible product - I do not recommend it. - I do not recommend this product. It was a self guided tour using my mobile phone. I paid for the tour but when I got to Avalon and tried to access the guide, it gave me a message that it was downloading and I should not leave the page. After watching the circle spin for 30 minutes without ever connecting me to the tour, I turned it off. Even if this was user error, the instruction to stay on the page during the download was either completely incorrect or so misleading I could not access the tour. A total waste of money and time.
