Guam’s history with all the views - It was great for quick day trip. The optional 1.7 mile hike is pretty intense, but beautiful! Thoroughly enjoyed the drive and audio accompaniment.

Driving tour of Guam - In general, the app worked well . It provided a good basis from which to see much of the island. Probably, the most salient weakness was the shortage of information about any of the spots. We also found it challenging a couple of times to get back to the correct spot when we diverged from the suggested route. Overall, we enjoyed using the app, and it did provide a useful way to see much of the island that we would’ve otherwise missed.

You won't be disappointed! - This was a great app and so worth the money! I am glad the other comments said to download it and use it on your first day at Guam so you can see and hear about places in Guam you might want to go back and visit longer which is what we did! We learned SO MUCH about Guam and the Chamorro culture from this app and are very pleased with its offerings. I agree with the others, I wish there was more information, but maybe they didn't want to do information overload? Overall, we are super satisfied with this app and love that we can go back in and review the information in more detail whenever we want or to visit places we heard about through this app.

Great information and easy to use. - We had a great time exploring the island and learning about the history along the way. My son and his wife are stationed in Andersen and he said,”because of this tour, we have seen more than we probably would have ever seen on our own.”

Good way to spend a day - This tour was a good way to see the island. Learned lots of interesting facts along the way. It took about 6 hours because I made a lot of stops. The one annoying thing was that when the narration came on, the driving screen was covered up, so I missed some of the turns and had to back track. There's no reason for the screen to be covered, so that really should be fixed. Also, I wish the car location dot was bigger This app sucks a lot of battery, so make sure you take a charger. I also suggest taking a phone holder that attaches to an air vent to stop it from overheating.

Good intro to Guam! - Good information, got a lay of the land, some key things to know to set expectations and possible enhancements. App works well and I love that I am able to view the transcript anytime I want, like posting on social media so I could educate my friends and family. 1. Follow the map in ascending numeric order. You can start anywhere along the map but if you go in reverse the information on the upcoming location will be after you pass it. 2. Not every point on the map is a “site” to see, some information is historic or about Guam. 3. I was solo and sometimes it would have been nice to have another person in the car. I put my earphones on my phone and the radio on so I could have background sound during down times. 4. speaking of down times, there are some areas that have long gaps of silence, I would try to look at the map and drive so I knew I hadn’t missed anything- another reason for another person. 5. Possible enhancement- along the route we drive through different areas, I think they’re referred to as villages. Perhaps info on that village when you enter would be nice, how did it get its name, what is it about that village. That would help some of the quiet time in the app. 6. Do this when you first arrive. This will give you an idea of where you may want to go back and spend more time. I did get out at some of the points along the way, like Two Lovers Point and a few of the overlooks. I did this in 4 hours with notes of where I want to go back to see something I missed- like the bridge at Sella Overlook. Overall I would do this again. I became familiar with where different sites are around the island relative to my lodging.

Good for first time travelers, may be hard for solo drivers though - Was a little confusing at first but once you get to your starting location the tour automatically starts. If you're driving solo tho it makes it a little hard to pay attention while your driving. Most locations are discoverable with some research and simple planning. The audio guide about the history of Guam was a nice touch though, but still it's something anyone can find on their own, just paying for the convenience. All additional charges like entry into some locations are also out of pocket. Overall it was a good first experience and I might try this type of solo guide for another location. I'd still recommend it to those of you that want an all in one narrated self driving tour.

Nice intro for the money but needs improvement - I’ve used Viator tours before but didn’t feel this was up to their usual standards. There is a lot of down time on the audio that could have been filled with more information. Also, it needs updating. After leaving 2 lovers point, I was exactly on the map in the app, but IRL I was on a pot holed, overgrown road behind a hospital with do not enter signs. Had to make my way back to the main highway and pick up the route again. Guam doesn’t have a lot of signage, so when the audio talks about something you really have to turn it off and look for whatever it is. So, it is very difficult to use if you are alone and don’t have someone helping to navigate. However, it was a good way to see the island on the first day and figure out where to spend more time later.

Tour description inadequate. - Expected (and assured by Viator booking agent) a car was to be included with the tour. Taxi driver had extreme difficulty finding the address - used the map on Viator tour description page to find starting point. A very small (and poorly marked) park was seen; apparently the "starting point" for the tour. Expected to see a business, but nothing there. Called Viator help number, put on hold for about 15 min while they tried to contact tour operator, then told that they would continue trying to reach them and to call back in 30 min. It became obvious that the tour required your own vehicle. As we were visiting from a cruise ship with limited time on-shore, we abandoned all hope and headed to a shopping mall that we intended to visit during the tour. This is the second time that a cruise ship excursion booked through Viator fell through. Very unlikely that we will use Viator again.,

DO NOT BUY HERE - DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. I bought here and never got the instructions and they would not give me a refund and said that they sent it to me. And since you cant meet up with them you cant show them that you havent received anything.
