Placerville, often referred to as "Old Hangtown," has a storied past that dates back to the mid-1800s. This charming town in California was officially founded during the Gold Rush of 1849 when prospectors flocked to the area seeking fortune. Originally, small mining camps dotted the landscape, which quickly evolved into a bustling town as gold was discovered in the nearby riverbeds and hills.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.
This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
