It was ok. A little history lessons mixed in with some sites. I went off track several times finding more interesting places that weren’t on the audio. During the long drives between sites, the stories and history lessons were repeated several times making the audio trip annoying at times making me ponder why didn’t they detour to some of the other towns that were in the same area.

Love the personal stories of women traveling to CA by boat , steamer, coach with wonderment and courage .

If you don't start at the exact starting point the tour doesn't follow along. Also had a lot of trouble accessing the tour. Definitely have to plan and have everything pre-loaded. The narration was informative and pleasant for the few stops we listened to.

Nice tour along the “golden 49”. Directions were very difficult to follow because of timing, traffic, sun in the eyes, and difficulty reading street signs. This difficulty was mainly in the heart of the small towns. Stories were great and broke up the longer distances.
