Historic Cannery Row : une visite audioguidée de Monterey de John Steinbeck

Aperçu

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.

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.

Hi We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the tour. It has an average of 4.7/5 stars on VoiceMap. Did you give the app permission to follow your location? This is only necessary while you do the tour but it enables the GPS to trigger automatically at the right time and place, and play the correct audio for your location. Keep well, Alicia

This was a great tour we were able to complete at our own pace and stop and start as we wanted. Lots of great history and really feel like we were able to see Cannery Row from the eyes of John and Ed.

The coastal access paths off Cannery Row, specifically to Ed Rickett's backyard, are a must see and do, yet would have been easily missed if not for the audio tour by Voice Maps. Yeah so there were corrugated cannery buildings that burned down at some point or other, but who would have known there's still an old ice box in a "general" store (with a Chinese sign) to look at. Sort of an intimate peek or we would just have mindlessly walked between the parking garage and the Aquarium, weaved around other visitors, stuck to Cannery Row with the usual foot traffic for a touristy town. We only had time to do the tour north of the Sardine Factory because published closing times (and re-entry opportunity!) for the Aquarium and the hotel pool had not been updated, or miraculously just generously extended for Mother's Day weekend. The Foam Street Garage is best for starting the tour and or doing the Aquarium - but our hotel is 20 minutes away and an alternate Start at San Carlos Beach would have been a cheaper less-harried choice. Anyway, it's not VoiceMap's fault that the free trolley was not running yet. However, now, we know when to come back, to do the last half of the tour from a less expensive parking lot, without need for a 1-night hotel booking or to re-enter the Aquarium for a 4th time in our lives. Parking cost is prohibitive STILL, but after prior visits of parking outside of town practically in the days before GPS and young children needing a stroller or a nap, we felt it was high time to know the area a bit better rather than just drive through and walk till we drop in the Aquarium. The Voice Map app, though half-used made this a more meaningful visit without tourists crowding the sidewalks unnecessarily, straining to hear above motor-bikes that decided to convene in Monterey on Mothers' Day weekend too. We look forward to other VoiceMap audio tours in future. The tour or app is a tiny bit glitchy, but narration well worth what we could get out of it in 1 hour, with 1 hour left to go, that maybe we could listen but "walk" by Google Maps if we dread 1-hr delays on highways in an out of Monterey. The traffic delays were the most wasteful energy-sucking portion of our weekend.
