Experience a spectacular driving tour that follows Highway 1 to Big Sur, often called “the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.” You’ll be greeted by views of the Santa Lucia Mountains rising abruptly from the Pacific Ocean, in contrast with the jagged rock cliffs and churning seas. This section of Highway 1 is considered one of the most scenic driving routes in the United States, if not the world. It’s filled with unblemished natural scenery and dotted with four state parks, hidden beaches, rocky coves and rolling hills. On the tour, you’ll pass by the historic D.L. James House now owned by actor Brad Pitt, cross the iconic Bixby Bridge, pass by the prominent volcanic rock home of the Point Sur Light Station to the Big Sur River Inn and the famous Nepenthe Restaurant before we stop at the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. All stops, visits to state parks and subsequent hikes are optional and parking fees for state parks are not included in the price of this tour.

    The information in the audio portion gets a 4 star rating but the purchase process & app get 2 stars. After we purchased the self driving audio tour of Big Sur California, the email confirmation for the purchase was not clear on how to download & activate trip. We are fairly adept with tech & apps but we had to call customer support for assistance. Once we were on our way, the mapping worked fairly well, but for some reason the audio portion required the use of headphones. Though the app explained that we should use buttons for “End tour” & then “Resume” for long stops, sometimes after very brief stops the audio portion would or would not restart. This tour was rather frustrating at times and we expected something better since we found this thru TripAdvisor. There were several other similar driving audio tours from other companies, some that were cheaper but obviously we can’t say if those would have been better choices.
