Loved being able to start and stop as I wished. It was easy to download and use. The only downfall was that we went into the Rockies in the winter and some of the roads were closed. It was all good though!

Thanks so much for your feedback! I’m delighted that my tour of Rocky Mountains added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

Plan to spend the entire day. I'd started at the Este Park Entrance. I'd ended at the Grand Lake Exit. The well paved roads take you through the mountains. There are plenty of places to pull over and take pictures. The restrooms are far and few. Road signs are few. Make sure you stop by the visitor's center. An actual park ranger is there. She had given much helpful advice.

We found the audio tour confusing. We were never sure when it started and stopped. It would start even when we did not want it to start, I suppose we did not understand how it worked but it should be easy to use.

Thanks for your feedback! The tour is very simple to use, in the words of our customers, not mine. To access the tour, simply download our app and enter the password you were given. Then, once the tour is fully downloaded on your device, all that is left to do is go to the starting point and allow the GPS to sync with the tour. Then simply begin driving along the route, and the tour will automatically start the audio once you arrive at the point of interest. The map will guide you further from point to point to all the attractions, automatically playing the audios at each point regarding the location. The tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit also. In addition, I have 100 other tours in the USA. Please check them out on your next vacation.
