This was not so much about San Francisco as it was about global warming and and rising waters! My friends who downloaded the talk had their audio cut out and fade out mid sentence

We're sorry you found this tour disappointing. It has an average of 4/5 stars from 24 reviews on VoiceMap so it's generally well-liked. We also try to make it clear in the description that it's about the environment, rising sea levels and global warming. The first two lines of the product are: "Take in San Francisco's historic waterfront with a tale of its creation, and looming demise with this walking tour along the Embarcadero. Find out how rising seas and increasing storm surges are predicted to flood streets, and the infrastructure above and below, and what the future might look like"

This tour is horrible!!! Do not waste your time with it. There was little to no history or interesting information in the tour and SF has a wealth of history and fun facts. The talk focused on global warming and ocean rising in coming decades. The individual who spoke from his kayak was of no interest at all! I have kayaked this area and I could have shared more information than he did! The tour was so pathetic and annoying that we turned it off and enjoyed a walk in our own. Today was beautiful in SF and we enjoyed the city in spite of this disappointing tour.

I loved the Sand Castles tour! I learned so much about the present and the history of this area. I loved how the piece was put together -- the interesting people who spoke, the clear directions on where to walk, the warmth, humor, engagement, music, and sounds that all made me feel like I was on a live tour. I understand more now about how sea level change affects this area of San Francisco that is so special.
