Great way to see the Grand Canyon - Walking the rim trail and seeing the sights was awe-inspiring. The stories on the audio tour were fun and engaging.

Great tour; easy to use. - The app worked well. We didn’t follow it exactly because we didn’t know it included getting on a shuttle and riding. The stories were good, the directions were great, and it’s a favorable option to riding in a van with strangers for hours. For the price it’s a great value.

Great tour package - Self-driving tour was easy to use and informative. My husband is very susceptible to motion sickness, so we did not want to book jeep tours or bus tours. We were able to have the "tour operator" in the car with us. You can stop as you like, or choose to continue on at each highlight. Highly recommend.

Buy this you won't regret it. - What a great guide. I have yet to use it with GPS, that will come in 2024. As a planning guide, I fully recommend it. Installation was easy, and the interactive map made getting to the specific points easy. I really liked the option to read the text, I can see that being very useful when onsite. No need to annoy others with the commentary.

Worth the price - The views were incredible. If you can, take some of the trails. Shoshone point was incredible and worth the trip. Easy hike you can also find on all trails to make sure you make it to the true lookout, as this just brings you to the trailhead. I wish it was a little easier to follow and the navigation went into the car, but overall, we liked it and it had us stop at some good places we probably would’ve missed. Great deal for the price.

Worth the Price - The app was easy to use and helpful. I didn’t realize there was a section from Bright angel to Hermits rest where you had to take the park bus to visit but those sections but that’s my fault. Other than that it was worth the money compared to paying for a guided tour with a transportation.

Use the phone app, download the tour, and following - I was not able to figure it out how to use the self guided tour in the beginning. It only works when you drive by the location and the audio will automatically pop up from your phone download. After figuring out, it becomes very handy to follow through the driving tour. For some reason it is not Bluetooth with my car, so I can only use it by phone. It created some frustration by the technical difficulties. I used the tours in Grand Canyon East Gate entrance and Sedona full tour. The both worked fine.

Not impressed - It was hard to follow their GPS. There's a lot of movie knowledge but not a lot of history knowledge. Not Android Auto compatible. It only took us to two hiking sites and that was it.

Not so great - It was difficult to figure out where to start the Sedona tour. We ended up having to backtrack rather far. We never needed the Grand Canyon one as our rental cabin was literally a few feet from the South rim.

Horrible app. - I reserved a tour well in advance. I was charged for the tour, but the day it was to start, the reserved tours disappeared from my downloads and did not show in the app. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with ' support's. He couldn't' fix the issue either Although he did provide a tour I didn't want or need so, I never used that either.. I ended up unable to have any driving tour unfortunately. I total waste of money.
