Berkeley Audio Tour: Stories Beneath the Tower and Timeless Oaks

Audio guide10 stops

Berkeley’s streets hum with the echoes of revolution where a garden once sparked a riot and ancient oaks once stood guard over more than just roots. This self-guided audio tour unlocks the hidden side of the city, guiding you through leafy corners and storied walkways that most visitors rush straight past. Every stop holds a legend or a scandal, waiting to come alive in your headphones. Why did armed barricades rise almost overnight around People’s Park? What secrets linger beneath the stately arches of University House? What exactly was buried beneath those embattled oaks and why did so many fight to keep it hidden? Move between radical action, academic intrigue and natural wonder. This journey peels back layers of protest, controversy and quiet resilience. Watch Berkeley transform as each chapter unfolds under your feet. Press play to uncover the unrest, spirit and surprises that wait just below the surface. The revolution walks here.
