Just did the 17-Mile Drive audio tour and loved it!

I recently bought the self-guided audio tour for the 17-Mile Drive in Monterey for a family trip. It was awesome! We got to see the Lone Cypress, and the stories about the shipwrecks were super interesting. The best part was being able to stop wherever we wanted. We packed a picnic and enjoyed it at Fanshell Beach. I totally recommend it for anyone looking for a unique way to explore the area!

Thinking about gifting the 17-Mile Drive tour, any thoughts?

I want to gift this audio tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love driving along the coast and have talked about visiting Monterey. Do you think they’ll enjoy it? I’m a bit worried about if they can follow the audio well without getting lost.
