Cow Heaven: A Self-Guided Driving Tour from Point Reyes Seashore to Tomales

Overview

A 21-mile self-guided audio driving tour from Point Reyes National Seashore to the town of Tomales.

Just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, fifth-generation sheep rancher Bill Jensen guides recalcitrant lambs through a foot bath. A few miles down the road, Bob Giacomini checks out his high-tech milking barn.

Bill and Bob are part of a rich agricultural community of dairy farmers, cattle and sheep ranchers and oyster growers in West Marin County. How was this rural paradise, so close to a major metropolitan area, saved from development? A lot of the credit goes to two women who came up with a unique idea...

This is probably a grey Troy However it is activated by location and given that there is no cell range or gps available in this are for either our Verizon or AT&T phones we couldn’t access the tour

Hi there, When you booked through Tripadvisor, we sent you instructions via email and SMS. In these instructions, we recommend downloading the tour before you set off for the starting point. VoiceMap tours work offline, but it's best if you download your tour using a strong WiFi connection. Then, when you're en route, you can take the tour 100% offline. It sounds like you may not have read these instructions. If you didn't receive the instructions, please let us know at [email protected], and we will process a full refund. Regards, Brent

It was a terrible experience. It wouldn't work. When I called the customer service there were no help and I should have known better because it was an 100% no money back. Don't buy it from here. You can buy it from other sources like voice map. It worked great from them but I had to buy it twice

Hi Denise, I'm sorry you had a poor experience. What number did you phone for support? Often, these calls don't come to us directly, so it may be that an intermediary gave you incorrect information. Just to clarify: we are VoicMap. Our VoiceMap tours are listed on Viator - you're just purchasing through Viator rather than us directly. But we appreciate the positive sentiment shared about VoiceMap, despite your overall poor experience with the rest of the purchasing and support experience that is external to VoiceMap.
