Overall a great experience - What a cool way to keep occupied and learn about the places you are seeing as you drive. We had no issues with the audio connection in the car. Everything worked like a charm. I will definitely try to find more audio driving tours on my next adventure.

"Easy and inexpensive" - What a wonderful idea!! We loved hearing about some of the sites that we were passing and their history. They even talked about some of the animals and we did get to see an eagle. The tour guides were entertaining and the quiz questions fun. A great way to learn about our country! Can’t wait for the next Tripvia trip!

Something fun and different to do on our road trip. - Something fun and different to do along the way! Some of the facts and information were interesting, some cheesy and some very "punny", but I like that sort of thing. Set it so it would just come on as we passed things. Got a free Starbucks drink out of it as well. I did well on their trivia questions. Worth it.

Random bits - sometimes relevant - Some of the commentary was more oriented for children in the car. Some of the commentary was only very loosely related to where we were. There were many interesting sites that I wish had commentary like some of the old bridges we passed.

Meh - We had challenges keeping the route connected and so would regularly skip back to the beginning. We also don’t have children so the style of the commentary was annoying to us. We ended up reading it out to avoid the tone and the dropped connections. It was okay but having purchased a previous one for Joshua Tree which was great, I was disappointed in this one
