Will use again - Very helpful, insightful. I look forward to using this app again for other adventures. Some of the music was meh, but that's just my personal opinion. And it did immerse us into the culture.

Audio tour was worth it! - We did an audio tour of the park because we had dogs with us. We broke it up over two days and it was awesome. Even though we didn’t hike any of the trails, the audio tour was soooo worth it. Much better than meandering through the park on our own. The tour was well written and narrated, entertaining and informative. We will be back and dig deeper into this awesome treasure. I highly recommend Shaka tours

Best Option Available - We highly recommend the tour. No large groups, on your own schedule and in your own order. This tour was thorough and the suggestions were helpful in making the most of the trip.

Awesome - Great audio guide. We got so much info during the trip and enjoyed it very much! And especially when we were without phone signal the whole time- it just worked like a charm offline👌🏻. Totally recommend for everybody- also with kids in the car!

Exciting! - Thought the trip in would be boring, but we found this and it made it interesting and fun! We visited places we didn't know about and made a plan we didn't have.
