Great for first time in the park - The tour was very easy to follow and had some interesting features like history and such. For a first timer in the park I’d say it’s a must to get a feel for a lot that the park has to offer. Highly recommended.

The day we went on the... - The day we went on the driving tour was wet and foggy so we only made it as far as Logan’s Pass but the downloaded app made it interesting to see what was coming us and highlight things we wouldn’t otherwise find. Highly recommend!

Very Helpful audio tour - We drove through Glacier National Park from the East entrance at St. Mary's Visitor Center. We were very pleased with the audio tour. We enjoyed the background information as we toured. However, we found it especially helpful in terms of pointing out places to stop and things to see. The road through the park did not have much in the way of signage regarding special places.

“Going to the Sun” road is absolutely beautiful, a must do👍 - We were very impressed with the App & info that was provided during the tour!! We would highly recommend using this “self driving auto tour”. One suggestion: print off all the documentation about your tour to get in the park because it is easier for the park rangers to look at it prior to entering the park!!! We had no problem getting in the park👍 Enjoy

Needs better instructions - When I got to the entrance of glacier and turned it on only the map showed no audio. It did not remind me to open the app I had on the phone. Terrible experience
