It was fun learning about California history, seeing places I've only heard about and had a less traveled journey home.

The guided tour could not be used as i was driving from Angels camp to Jackson. Waste of money! Make sure you start at Jackson!

It started out GREAT!!! But sometime midway, it went silent with no mapping. We didn’t have the slightest idea where we were and had to use Waze to get us back to our motel. I’ll be calling to complain and ask for a refund. I had read in another review by an iPhone user that the same occurred with them. Maybe that’s the problem… If they don’t refund, I’m going to be PISSED!!!

My husband and I appreciated the travel through tiny gold mining towns we might not have otherwise visited. The walking tours have excellent directions and good descriptions of the sights. We liked the stories told about the towns and the people during the driving portions. The side "optional" trips are worth the time. Plan on an entire day if you really want to appreciate all the tour has to offer. Plan on lots of walking and a lot of driving.
