Awesome app and tour!
Having never been to the Pinnacles before, I was really excited to test this app out as someone who doesnt really enjoy crowded bus tours. I loved that the digital tour guide would give us some funny facts and information on landmarks as we drove by. It was super convenient as well as we could stop off where we wanted whenever for some down time, and then when we pop back on route the tour guide would pop up again. Loved the experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

Say, PINNACLES
Was nice to be able to drive and just get out when we want. Would work well in Summer too, can still see the Pinaccles but don’t have to cook in the sun.

Operator response
Glad that you enjoyed the tour. Agree that in summer, The Pinnacles is best enjoyed at sunrise and sunset. It's also a great place to do astrophotography at night - perfect in summer! The beaches are definitely the place to be along the coast during the day. Please let us know if there's anything that we can improve for future adventurers.
