Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What age do you think would enjoy it?

A: Definitely! The tour is great for kids, especially if they're into history. The storytelling is engaging, and they can learn about the Gold Rush and Native American history in a fun way. I'd say kids around 8 and up would enjoy it the most. Just make sure they can handle a longer drive!

Q: How does the offline feature work? Can I really use it without cell service?

A: Yes! Once you download the tour via the VoiceMap app, you can access it offline. Just make sure you download everything before you head out. It’s super handy because some areas on Highway 49 might have spotty service, but you’ll have a great time without interruptions.

Q: What should I wear on this tour? Is it casual or more formal?

A: Casual is the way to go! Wear comfortable clothes and shoes since you might be getting in and out of the car at various stops. Layers are a good idea too, as it can get cooler in the evening, especially closer to Angels Camp. Just make sure you’re ready for a fun adventure!

Considering the Highway 49 Drive for my parents' anniversary!

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about booking the Highway 49 Drive as a surprise gift for my parents. They love history and road trips. The audio tour sounds super cool, especially hearing from Lynn Momboisse. I read it lasts about 150 minutes, but can we take our time at the stops? I'm just a bit worried about the route and if there are enough places to stop for photos. Anyone done this yet?

Just did the Highway 49 Drive, and it was amazing!

Wow, just finished the Highway 49 Drive! The audio guide was super informative, and I loved the stories about the Gold Rush. It took us about 2.5 hours because we stopped a few times. One tip: start early to avoid traffic and get great light for photos! Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves a good history lesson or scenic drives!
