This audio did not work at all. Waste of money. If there’s no internet service in a known destination area, the audio should not be sold.

So cool to hear John Muir's writing while you drive around yosemite! I'm not usually a fan of tours, but this one felt different and more personal. Instead of facts its all well written literature. Would definitely take this tour again
