Monterey Bay Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour from Del Monte Beach to Cannery Row

Monterey Bay Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour from Del Monte Beach to Cannery Row

By VoiceMap Monterey Peninsula
About
This self guided audio tour of Monterey I take friends and family on, when they come to visit. Monterey’s story is as beautiful as its scenery. When European explorer Juan Cabrillo first laid eyes on the bay 500 years ago, he was astounded by it, and he wrote such a glowing description that other explorers followed. Eventually, Monterey became a city. Whether this is your first time here or you visit the Peninsula regularly – and even if you live here – you’ll discover something new on this tour of California’s second oldest city. After all, there are more historical buildings in Monterey than any other city west of Santa Fe, New Mexico. You’ll see both sides of Fisherman’s Wharf, take in the actual locations in John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row and end the tour at the Monterey’s most visited attraction, The Aquarium.

    I just felt it was long winded and the audio didn't always go off so struggled with getting the right segment with the location. great more frustrating than enjoying.

    Not a great tour
    Firstly we had trouble downloading the audio. When it finally downloaded, the directions didn’t make much sense so we gave up. What we can say is it appears the houses are not together and spread over a large area so if you are not mobile, this is not the tour for you. Would be easier to just drive around and spot them.

    Interesting subject matter, underwhelming tour
    The cottages and their histories are interesting, but the tour was lacking, both in terms of technical details, and as a visitor experience. Some of the mentioned landmarks have changed, and locations where you are on the tour was at times confusing. But for me, an even worse shortfall was the lack of humor in the narrative. When the amount of available factual info is limited, it's even more important to use some humor to amplify the experience, and there just wasn't any in this tour. At a minimum, the changes in landmarks need to be updated.

    terrible. We had to cut through the trip.
    There was so much closures in our route. The routes needs to be refreshed and reviewed. The two stars was for the audio and when you hit the mark, it does speaks and narrates on point.

    Only worked about half the time
    I guess Carmel is just too hard to keep the audio tour on track. We kept getting lost, not knowing where to turn, and got off the course. We ended up only hearing about half. We have used Audio Tours in our car in other areas, which worked great. It may be the closeness of each road in Carmel.

    Very well done but we abandoned it
    First, this is very well done for what it is. Overall, the VoiceMap tech largely works and the narration is well done for driving. There were a few "gotchas" like the tour guiding us through the Carmel Farmer's Market which we had to circumnavigate and the road it wanted us to go on to get to Fort Ord Dunes State Park was closed. We learned some interesting history about things like artichoke production in Castroville or the Hirahara Farmstead. That said, there was just a lot of history, and my adult daughter and I ended up bailing on the tour. We decided instead to just hang out in Capitola for the afternoon instead of finishing it. My wife and I had the opportunity to finish the tour after my daughter left the area, but after hearing about how the beginning of the tour went, my wife opted not to finish the tour with me either.

    Driving tour along the most beautiful stretch of highway in the world.
    Just a gorgeous drive and a really fun and educational tour. Love how the tour is able to trigger important spots as you drive along. Really enjoyed learning a bit about the history of the area. Fun little day trip for my wife and I. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a little weekend adventure.

    Off the beaten path, good, but some history not so interesting
    - Pros: Takes you out of the touristy downtown of Carmel and into some of the back streets. Takes you by interesting houses and down by the ocean. - Cons: Some of the history wasn't that interesting to me (lots of detail about authors I'd never heard of). Some content needs update - one of the houses is in the process of being moved.

    Very informational!!!
    We loved the audio tour! The first part of the tour was the only part we had trouble with since there is no longer a Carmel Winery at the first location. Thanks!!

    Storybook Cottage
    Overall, a very nice experience. The cottages were totally charming! We are locals and it was something different to do in Carmel. When we had to cross Ocean Avenue, it was a little dangerous because there was no crosswalk. There should be a warning that some parts of the walk are steep. People not in shape shouldn’t attempt this tour. The guide was really helpful and warned if you went the wrong way. Those in decent shape should try it once!

    Excellent and informative audio tour of Carmel homes around Carmel Beach area.
    This was an excellent audio tour of the homes in Carmel. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery around Carmel beach and the surrounding homes. The architecture was interesting and the information provided informative. The GPS worked great!
