Perfect guide through the Utah parks - My husband and I were on a car tri through southern Utah and the 5 national parks. We wanted a little guidance on our drives through the parks and this was perfect. It lead us through the parks with background information and allowed us to stop and wander as we wanted, or skip some of the stops. It worked very well for us. And was well worth the cost

Absolutely worth it! - I purchased the self driving tour because we were touring the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Mt. Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, and the Arches. This tour was amazing and so easy. Gave us our own little private history on all the places and it was for the most part easy to follow. What's nice is I now have this tour of all these parks forever! Highly recommend!

Informative guide to Utah national parks - Lots of info about the parks. Make sure you have access to WIFI to download all of the maps before getting to the park, once you get in the park it’s too late. The narration was informative and consistent with the roads in the parks. It was nice that there were places on the audio that were not on the NPS maps as it made me feel like we knew something everyone else was missing. Take time to listen to the entire segment at the specific area as it will just stop if you get too far away. And drive lowly for the same reason

5 Best Parks in Utah - Very helpful in getting around. Could not have done it without you. Better information about how it works would have helped. Old people who aren’t as familiar with phone technology struggle to get it to work at first. Photo is on local highway from Zion to Bryce.

Overall worth it - Informational, and handy to go back and review or share with others, however if you aren’t going in order of viewpoint skipping is possible just not as handy. Would have liked more information not specific to top views. Overall worth it.

Recommended - Overall the experience was very good. There were times the audio would "glitch" and start over or completely go to another section and we were following the speed limit suggested by the tour.

Totally worth it - We used the tour, so far, in Arches and Canyonland NP. It definitely added to our experience, and is well worth the price. It took awhile to get used to the mechanics of the program, repeating, going dead in between locations, but overall was a real positive for us. We stopped at places we wouldn’t have otherwise, and passed on others that didn’t add much to our tour given time constraints. So yeah, we recommend this program, just download it all beforehand and you should benefit greatly from it.
