Historic Cannery Row: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of John Steinbeck's Monterey

Overview
This self-guided, self-paced audio walking tour will explore Cannery Row in Monterey California and the surrounding area as well as a number of hotels and historic sites. There's a separate admission charge for entrance to Monterey Bay Aquarium.

On this tour, you'll hear how the area served as the industrial heart of Monterey in the first half of the 1900s. Its seemingly inexhaustible number of Pacific sardine attracted fishermen, investors and inventors from around the world seeking their fortune. But, (spoiler alert!) overfishing would decimate the industry by the 1950s.

You will also discover the connection between John Steinbeck and this area as you meet some of the colorful characters that were immortalized in his novel Cannery Row and its sequel Sweet Thursday. Finally, you'll discover the incredible story of how Cannery Row quite literally rose from the ashes to what is now a welcoming waterfront of world-class hotels, wine rooms, restaurants and shopping opportunities.
City: Monterey & Carmel

Great to see new things in Monterey that we hadn’t seen before! This tour took us to places we hadn’t been. Little nook and crannies. Didn’t even know there were murals here.

What a wonderful experience! I had a great time learning about Cannery Row. The narrator had a lovely voice too. Absolutely thrilled to have learned about the VoiceMap app. Highly recommend this experience!

What a great walking tour. Very informative. My husband and I agreed this was a great addition to our 3 day trip to Monterey.
