Awesome product. - This was super cool for my Everglades trip. I enjoyed the history and the fact I could do this at my own pace. Loved that it gives you the option to hop off trail complete a small hike then just pick up where you left off. I will definitely do this for my next adventure if there is a product available.

A fantastic day! - This self-guide tour was perfect. We downloaded it in advance which was important as we lost signal once we were deep into the Everglades. The narration was perfect - lots of information to listen to about the history of the area and what to look out for. Thanks to the tour we saw many egrets, alligators, a crocodile, turtles, manatees, ospreys and a spoonbill. A truly memorable day.

Highly recommend - We thought having the tour guide us through was a great way to make sure we didn’t miss anything. The narrator shared many interesting facts along the way

App a little glitchy, but we still recommend the tour - We had a hard time getting the app to work properly at first, specifically the volume, but other than that we loved the experience! We valued the ability to go at our own pace, stopping at trails that interested us and skipping the ones we knew we wouldn't have time for. My husband and I definitely recommend this self-guided tour.

Audio tour fun - The audio tour of the Everglades was informative and fun. We learned about the history and about the current ecosystem. There were a couple of mistakes. I wanted to hear more about Marjory Stoneman Douglas. We only had time to get to Story 25. Had to turn back.

Rained out - Rained out so not able to leave a great review. Driver can’t view photos and there are huge gaps. One section referenced Juan Ponce de Leon coming to Florida in 1921 which is incorrect.
