Frustrating, did not help us enjoy the trip.

We are seniors and not tech savy so it was very frustrating. The app kept giving me "app permission denied" and "location unavailable" We wasted almost one hour trying to get to the exact location to start. I could not even force the start. We drove around the block about 3 times trying to get the app to connect. We decided to forget the app and just drive Hwy. 49 on our own. We finally found the highway and the app "magically" started. There was a lot of history at the beginning some of which I thought was unnecessary. Also the background sound effects were very distracting.

Once I found the beginning point (program won't let you start until you are EXACTLY at the location), it was great! GPS tracked me the whole way and the narrative led me to spots I would have never found by myself. Definitely recommend, thank you.

Nice drive, good points of interest. Lots to explore at the start location City of Auburn and end point, City of Placerville. Right at Placerville this time of year, apple & grape harvest. You have to explore Apple HIll, everything apple and many boutique wineries to visit. Shout out to High Hill Ranch, the Best Apple Pies !

Great tour and full of interesting facts. I did struggle to find the start as no parking but once we got going all ok. Good to be able to stop and start the tour. It a very good way to learn as you go.

Too many winding roads and traffic. Construction/ road work was taking place and had cars including myself back up for about a half a mile. Not my ideal tour.
