Questions & answers
Do I need an app to listen? No. There’s no annoying app to download and no GPS required. Simply open your personal tour link on your phone and listen as you walk. Cell service is required along the route. You can also listen anytime from your computer at home.
Do I need cell service or GPS? You’ll need cell service, but no GPS is required. The entire tour plays directly in your phone’s web browser—no app to download and no GPS tracking.
How long are the tours? That’s entirely up to you. Move at a steady pace and you can complete most tours in about 60 minutes. Or slow down, explore downtown, stop for a drink or a bite to eat, and make the experience last as long as you like.
Can I listen with more than one person? Yes. One purchase covers your entire group. However, we recommend each person open the tour on their own phone and listen with headphones or earbuds. These are professionally produced audio experiences with voice actors, soundtracks and sound effects, and you'll miss some of the experience playing it through a single phone speaker—especially outdoors.
Where do the tours start? All tours take place in historic downtown Salida, but each begins at a different location. Your purchase includes a complete tour map, starting location and directions to guide you from stop to stop.
Do the tours expire? Never! Your tour is yours to keep. Listen as many times as you like, whenever you like—there’s no expiration date.
