The scenery was fantastic! The operator failed to email me the link and password which delayed us 45 min while we attempted to find the email he said was sent. Once he resent the email we were on our way.

Audio tour was excellent and loved it.
One minor issue on returning out of park, audio still assumes we are entering the park , start playing audio again and it became confusing.
However, this app is excellent and would love to use it in places where it’s available. Would recommend this than in person tour. We had lots of flexibility and time to explore park on our terms ????

Great driving tour and very informative. I do wish it kept up with the speed limit of the roads more. It's not always accurate to the speed, sometimes I want to go slower to hear everything, however I leave a line behind me for going under the speed limit. Otherwise very informative and a great companion on the trip through the park.
