Thinking of gifting the Smartphone Driving Tour for my parents' anniversary!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting this driving tour between Santa Maria and Monterey for my parents. They love scenic drives and have been wanting to explore Big Sur. I like that they can take their time and stop wherever they want. Has anyone tried it? Any tips on making it special?

Just finished the driving tour and wow!

I just did the Smartphone Driving Tour from Pismo Beach to Monterey and it was AMAZING! The views, especially at Bixby Bridge, were to die for. The historical facts were super interesting too. We took our time and stopped at Hearst Castle, which was a highlight. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun day trip!
