Best family option!! - Finding this was the most pleasant surprise!! We learned a lot and were able to move at our pace. The best part—we saved $1200-$1500 by renting a large SUV in lieu of booking an excursion with the cruise ship. Winning!!

A fun adventure! - The views were spectacular and everything on the audio was timed very well. The only glitch was the final mile leading to Nepali State Park is not drivable so we had to walk/hike (the road is closed now). It was fine for us but unexpected.

Great tool to view the sites - It was a great way to visit the places without the crowd. We rented a car and stopped at the destinations that was the itinerary. And it also provided a little history. It also provides stops to see the best views. Only suggestion is to state that there is a small fee for some of the lookout points.

Perfect way to start our 9 day vacation - Enjoyable way to tour at your own pace. This tour took us to some places in certain we would not have gone otherwise and we drove all over the island during our vacation. I wish the narrative would have begun by telling us the history of the area at the start point and had more information along the way but that is only me.... My husband loved it but I am very very inquisitive.

Nice product and easy for me to use. - We both enjoyed this tour. I do wish there was more history presented but that is just me. I had no issues downloading the android version and using this product. I have my own mini speaker because I did see that this isn't compatible when Android auto. We did take every red option too which we both appreciated that as an option

App Didn't Work When It Needed To - After successfully opening and testin the app the night before the planned trip, the app wouldn't start when I tried opening it the next morning of my trip, claiming I didn't have sufficient Wi-Fi to open it. I had to abandon the trip, and I missed all the points that was supposed to take me to.
