This was our first audio tour of this kind. It was great! Easy to download and get started. It says you need headphones or earbuds, but you can listen to the tour on your device without them. The guide was excellent and the historic tour was very interesting. Lots of opportunities to to visit places along the way- just pause the audio and take your time checking out the shops, cafes and historical places along the way. Be sure to stop by the Pioneer Village. The docents there were so friendly and informative. Folsom is a very quaint town with a rich history to be explored. Enjoy!

We enjoyed the tour but found it sometimes confusing. The guide would say continue but didn’t say when or where to stop so had to keep pressing buttons. Also a description of the area would have been helpful. We had no idea how steep and hilly mist of it was.

What a quaint little town. My wife and I had no idea there was so much history here. We love how this tour let's you go at your own pace while at the same time packing in a ton of really interesting content. Can't wait to try out some of their other tours. Highly recommended.
