Great feature - This was a great way to spend the day, while touring in a new town. Saw lots of breathtaking views and the hearing about the history was a lovely add on, and definitely appreciated the GPS/map feature as well.

Next Level Self Guided Tour - This self guided driving tour is next level. The GPS triggered talks as you make your way along the tour route are amazing. We even left the path several times and it picked right up when we returned. The short lectures are so informative. My kids were telling my business colleagues all the factoids they had learned while on the tour at dinner that evening. I am going to download some additional tours as we head to airport. We are headed to Washington DC next weekend and will plan time for those as well.

A great way to see an unknown area! - This was such a great way to explore a new place. Interesting stories along the way as well as information about off the main road areas that you wouldn’t know about otherwise. Our tour of Saguaro National Park was in two areas (east and west). We only planned to drive the west park, but enjoyed it so much that two days later we toured the east park.

Interesting stories, nice app, and lots of dad jokes - Enjoyed the tour. Had a little trouble getting the Android Auto working with the app, but I blame the car / Android Auto, not the tour app. Already recommended it to family for a future visit. One thing that was not clear from the Trip Advisor app/page was that there are two tours included. I wish the Trip Advisor page explained that. We just went to the address that was listed in Trip Advisor. We did not realize there were two distinct and separated parks and when we finished the West tour, we were confused where to go for the East tour. I wish the audio would have given an address verbally to go to. We had no cell service at the end of the West tour which added to the confusion.

I’m a fan! - As a first time user, I didn’t know what to expect. I am glad to say that I am impressed with this experience. User friendly packed with great information and stories of the history of the area. I’m so impressed that I’m going to look into other audiotapes for the next area we are going to visit. I’m from Chicago and would love it if there were audiotapes about the different neighbors. Great job! You’ve won me as a fan.

Great Enhancement to Tour - We very much enjoyed the audio enhancement to our tour. It was very informative and enjoyable. It added a wonderful historical perspective to an area we were unfamiliar with and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Tucson Saguaro National Park - Overall this was an effective way to tour the Saguaro National Park in Tucson. I had a problem pairing the tour audio with my car multimedia, but we listened on my iPhone. The pronunciation of key words during the audio was occasionally incorrect (Sonoran). Was it computer generated?

Enjoying the Saguaro up close - We loved seeing the Saguaro cacti up close at the Saguaro National Park. The audio helped us to know what to look for at each stop.
