Avalon City: A Self-Guided Audio Tour in Catalina Island booking from $5.13

Avalon City: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Overview

Take a self-guided GPS audio tour through the streets of Avalon with me. My name is Matthew and I am one of the 4000 residents of Avalon. Being a local I get asked a lot of questions. Do you live here full time? How expensive is it? What is that large house up on the hill? Why does everyone drive around in golf carts? How can you have a casino that doesn't allow gambling?

Along with historians, authors, and other passionate locals, we will walk the streets of Avalon to answer these questions and more. You'll learn the stories behind our town and its famous landmarks from the people who live here.

The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

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 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.
