Ratings and reviews

We rented a golf cart and did the Catalina Compass cart tour. It was a great and fun way to view that town and learn a little Catalina Island history along the way.

Excellent and fun self guided adventure. Helps you get to know more about beautiful Catalina!

I love this app! It was a super nice way to explore Avalon at my own pace and learn more about the city than I would have had I just walked around. You can either listen to the tour or read the transcript and I ended up doing a bit of both. I'd recommend it if you want a relaxing self guided tour of Avalon.
