A 21-mile self-guided audio driving tour from Point Reyes National Seashore to the town of Tomales.
Just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, fifth-generation sheep rancher Bill Jensen guides recalcitrant lambs through a foot bath. A few miles down the road, Bob Giacomini checks out his high-tech milking barn.
Bill and Bob are part of a rich agricultural community of dairy farmers, cattle and sheep ranchers and oyster growers in West Marin County. How was this rural paradise, so close to a major metropolitan area, saved from development? A lot of the credit goes to two women who came up with a unique idea...

It was a terrible experience. It wouldn't work. When I called the customer service there were no help and I should have known better because it was an 100% no money back. Don't buy it from here. You can buy it from other sources like voice map. It worked great from them but I had to buy it twice

More fun than you would ever expect!
I thought it would be a laugh initially, but it turns out that it was fun, informative, and took us to places we would have never gone. We learned about the history of the region and stopped by some funeral places. The town of Piont Reyes was so charming, and we were there on a day when there was a farmers market.
Recommendation: build in time to stop and explore!

Interesting and informative audio but not a tour. Provided interest facts about the general area but did not point out sites or history tied to the route. Would have been better to read as an article.

My favorite part of the tour was learning how this beautiful, unique landscape was saved by the work of dairy farmers and local environmentalists. Amazing what can be accomplished by people listening to each other and working together.
I enjoyed this tour so much, I took the Cow Heaven tour too.

Fascinating story of the evolution of cattle ranching in West Marin. Loved the personal stories of how the diff farms are evolving for the future/local community.

Enjoyed it very much. It enriched our journey thru Point Rayes Station, California . Peter Coyote did a great job.

Wow! This was such an amazing and informative tour! I loved the storytelling -- hearing directly from the ranchers and farmers who live here. The history of how this precious land got saved from development is inspiring.
