What To Expect
Oregon Coast
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
Astoria
Astoria is the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, with picture-perfect Victorian-age homes overlooking the port. Climb to the top of the Astoria Column to get a birds-eye view of where the Columbia River dumps into the Pacific Ocean. Visit the Riverwalk Trail to find a perfect spot for lunch. Just for fun, drive across the Astoria-Megler Bridge. This four-mile-long bridge was the last link to connect Highway 101 between the Canadian and Mexican borders.

5.00This audio tour was a great way to move down the Coast. Gave interesting info, in a light hearted way. Helpful driving directions. We saw many things we would have driven right by without these recommendations. We logged in and set up while on WiFi before beginning the tour. It worked well for us tracking our progress along the trip and repeating as we back tracked to the hotel each day. I'll look for others like it for other parts of the country as we travel again. Thanks for a great resource.
Highly Recommend!!

5.00This self guided tour was excellent!! We learned so much about the Oregon coast and saw so many sights that we would have missed had we not listened to the tour. I would highly recommend buying it if it’s available for the area you are visiting.
Enjoying the coast of Oregon

5.00This added a lot to our trip. The facts and stories were interesting. He talked more than I had anticipated and eventually some in the car tired of his voice. But of course we’re in charge so we turned him off for a bit (well, I listened on my own and relayed summaries of the most interesting points) and then resumed. It took a little to get it loaded up but I’m really glad we did. I got a lot more out of the trip because of this tour.
Trip-Changing!

5.00We absolutely loved this tour! We had planned to drive down the coast without much of an itinerary, and the addition of this tour inspired us to stop at places we never had on our radar, and made sure we could appreciate the history behind the places we didn't. It totally transformed our trip and I couldn't be happier with it!
Beautiful Oregon Coast!
