It's complicated. It...

R_J, Jul 2025

It's complicated. It implies it is associated with the visitors center. It's not. The initial instructions are not clear.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi, I’m sorry for the confusion. My tour isn’t affiliated with the visitor center. The tour starts from the Bear Valley Visitor Center Access Road—just head toward the parking lot and the tour will trigger automatically as you drive past. Since my audio tour is not connected to the visitor center itself, their staff won’t have details about the tour. If you had trouble, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m just a call away and can help walk you through the setup or explain how the tour works. Don’t worry, your tour is still valid for a year, so that you can retry anytime. If you’ve left the area, I can offer an alternative tour as a replacement. I’m here to help!

Good tour going, but...

joseph_b, Apr 2025

Good tour going, but problem coming back . Heard same narration but not at appropriate time returning from lighthouse. Detour now well noticed returning from lighthouse.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Joseph, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the tour on the way to the lighthouse, but I’m sorry the return trip didn't feel as enjoyable. Since the audio uses GPS, it may replay if you pass through the same points again in reverse. I also appreciate you mentioning that the detour was not clear. I will review it to ensure it is better marked for future travelers.

never do it again

Barbara_S, Jul 2024

I could not get on the tour. I am 75 years old and it was not user friendly I will never waste my money with your company again.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We're sorry you struggled with my Point Reyes National Seashore Audio Tour, Barbara. The tour is designed to be enjoyed by following the route on the app while listening to the audio through your phone's speaker or car stereo. We have a tutorial that can help. Our support team is available between 5 am and 5 pm EST if you need assistance. Please email us ASAP or request a refund; we'll happily take care of you.
