The walk was very nice, and we learned a lot about historic Folsom. We along the way visited shops and look in the museums. Also, we enjoyed the workout! The scenery was very nice as well.

This was our first audio tour of this kind. It was great! Easy to download and get started. It says you need headphones or earbuds, but you can listen to the tour on your device without them. The guide was excellent and the historic tour was very interesting. Lots of opportunities to to visit places along the way- just pause the audio and take your time checking out the shops, cafes and historical places along the way. Be sure to stop by the Pioneer Village. The docents there were so friendly and informative. Folsom is a very quaint town with a rich history to be explored. Enjoy!
