Great Resource To Make Touring/Site-Seeing Easy - I've used this app previously to take me through the Road To Hana in Maui and always find the information super helpful and the self-guided tours are very easy to use. Also, if you're in a time crunch or don't know what you want to see, having the "must-see" spots noted in the list of sites is great as well.

Beautiful views - You need a timed ticket to enter Arches. It is well worth the visit. In early May it was not very crowded if you arrive early. Dress in layers with good foot protection.

Self guided happiness! - Great to be able to do this at our own pace and learn along the way! Used it at Arches and Canyonlands and spent all day, then went back another day for more!

Guided Tour on a Budget - This tour is well worth every penny of it. It’s like having our own tour guide. We can go at our leisure, in our own car, and spend as much or as little time as we want. Beats sitting on a bus tour.

Excellent audio whilst driving through national parks - Great to hear history about the area whist driving around the national parks. Made looking at all the arches and canyons so much better.

Informative - It was very informative. It got a little confused sometimes if we change directions. It works best if you only go One Direction..

The magic didn't happen - sorry - Using this bundle spoilt the first part of the day as it did not start each time I pressed "begin tour" it asked me to navigate to the start of the tour even though we were several miles inside the tour area. It did work after a fashion after that but there was no indication of the distance between sites and often the speaker started so late we almost missed the parking areas. Yes it was informative once I got it going in Canyonlands but it often kept going after we had nearly missed the next site. He is long winded. In Arches it was, again late starting so we missed a chunk then as well It's a shame it didn't work well for us and no we did not enjoy using it. I think the app is a great idea but I found it irritating.

Didn't work - The audio didn't work for us. Oh well. I'm sure it is informative if you can make it work. We don't know what the issue was., so we gave up.
