Ratings and Reviews
Tragedy at every turn!
A nice counter to the epic beauty of PCH is the Action Tour Guide narrator. Nearly every point of interest between Ventura and Carmel is marked by something horrible. Fires, floods, death, extinction! We would wait in anticipation for the tragic turn to every story and laugh out loud when it came without fail. It became a game for us to predict and embellish the dark side of every mark on the map.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed your drive along PCH, and we appreciate your comment about the nature of the stops between Ventura and Carmel. We just released a new version of the tour after taking your review into consideration and added more than 20+ new stops. Feel free to download the tour again as it is valid for lifetime. And remember that we have plenty of other tours (with both dark and uplifting stories).
5 stars for both tour & drive
This is truly one of the most scenic, peaceful, and sunny drives in the entire country! We had a phenomenal time on every minute of this roadtrip, from the moment we left SF until we hit LA’s beach. The audio tour was a great add on, and helped make each sight more special and memorable (and convinced us to actually stop at a couple places we hadn’t originally planned). The only quibble is that the audio is timed to the location so if you’re driving over the speed limit (we sometimes did), it will occasionally cut off when you hit the next one. This happens infrequently though (and was clearly our mistake) so I will continue to rate 5.

Highly recommended buy!
We were doing the Highway 1 road trip and had used their App for LA to San Luis Obispo. We loved that App, so we went all in and bought all their tours for Highway 1 upto SF. You won’t regret it. It works beautifully and makes the drive interesting and informative with titbits about the area we were driving through. Since it is GPS enabled, we just had the phone hooked to the car stereo and periodically it pointed out facts along the way.
