Excellent audio tour
Published on Dec, 2024
Excellent tour! Audio automatically starts when you reach each point. Shirt hikes around the lake were beautiful. Other two hikes were long (7 mi, 4 mi respectively). 7 mi hike is for experienced hikers only. Beautiful park. Highly recommend.
Great experience
Published on Dec, 2024
Great addition to this already incredible experience. Having the map alone offline was worth it! We helped someone find their way with it. It worked just like the tutorial said it would.
Great day at Rocky Mountain National Park
Published on Oct, 2024
Visiting Denver for the first time and we decided to make a day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Saw this self tour App and decided to give it a try. App worked well and was able to track our car’s location even with no cell coverage. Just make sure you follow the instructions to download the App in advance and start the tour at the right location. It was nice that we were able to stop and get out of the car at any point and the App would continue when we resumed driving. This was a very affordable option to enhance our visit to the park!
Rocky Mountains Tour
Published on Oct, 2024
I loved the guided tour. It was very cost effective especially considering there’s also a fee to enter the park. You learn a lot about the history and if you go frequently it’s a great way to see and learn about the history of the rockies it’s an absolutely beautiful tour and there were lots of people when I went.
Fantastic audio tour
Published on Sep, 2024
This tour is very well done and made our trip and experience very good. It works as advertised. Areas for improvement would be to have more commentary about all the animals you might see and also to allow audio to stay in such if you don’t pull of and stop at o e of ybe scenkce spots
