## What is Driving & Walking City Tours?

City Tour is a GPS-guided audio tour app for the San Francisco Bay Area's most historic neighborhoods — starting with Mare Island, downtown Vallejo, and Benicia.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick a tour, tap Start, and just drive or walk. When you're near each stop, a gentle chime plays and narration begins automatically — no buttons to tap, no screen to watch.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
• Mare Island Driving Tour — The first U.S. Navy base on the Pacific Coast (1854–1996). Narrated stops at the causeway, St. Peter's Chapel, Civil War-era naval cemetery, historic dry docks, the Admiral's Mansion, and the modern waterfront redevelopment. ~30 min, 3.0 mi.

• Downtown Vallejo Walking Tour — From the Empress Theatre to the waterfront. Civic landmarks, arts district blocks, and the ferry history of a downtown in revival. ~42 min, 1.9 mi.

• Downtown Benicia Driving Tour — California's third state capital (1853–54). The original Capitol building is still standing and open to visit. ~35 min, 3.2 mi.

• Benicia State Recreation Area Walking Tour — A full waterfront loop along the Carquinez Strait. Botanical garden, fishing area, Dillon Point panoramic views, and wetland shorebirds. ~70 min, 3.2 mi.

• Dillon Point to Benicia State Park — A one-way point-to-point walk from Dillon Point through the recreation area. ~45 min, 1.8 mi.
