Welcome to the New Salida Walking Tours –
Now Offering Self-Guided Audio Tours plus select guided tours with Steve Chapman​​
We’re excited to share that Salida Walking Tours is evolving! After 7 incredible years of offering in-person tours, we’re transitioning to immersive, self-guided audio tours powered by OnDemand Audio Tours.
You’ll still experience the same great storytelling you’ve come to love, but now you can explore at your own pace with our new audio format.
​
Why the change?
Well, Steve’s approaching 65, and last year his knees and feet decided it was time for a break. He'll still offer in-person guided tours, but only on select dates and for private groups. But we didn’t want to stop delivering the stories that make Salida special, so we found the perfect solution: state-of-the-art, GPS-driven technology that brings these stories to life.
It’s like a movie for your ears, complete with a soundtrack and immersive sound effects.
​
No crowds, no schedules—tours are available whenever you are. Skip a stop, go back, pause, or replay. You’re in complete control, every step of the way.
