Good Value for what you get

4.00My friend and I took a trip to Arizona and we rented a car to have more flexibility. We were intrigued by the Self-guided driving bundle offered. It worked well for us. We liked how if was easy to set up and required no wi-fi. We learned things we didn't know and appreciated the map function as well. For the money, it was worth it and it did enhance our trip to both the Grand Canyon and Sedona.

1.00Makes no sense to pay for a tour that could be given out for free. There’s no proper instructions on how to get the audio to listen. It sends you to the middle of nowhere with the hopes of trying to find things to stop for.
waste of money

1.00I purchased the app based on the positive reviews; however, my experience was not positive. We could not get the app to work. It would cut in and out and stop mid-sentence. Fortunately, I purchased the app with Viator rewards
It was great. Very easy...

5.00It was amazing! My husband and I don’t care for the big crowds.. we were able to enjoy the Grand Canyons and a ton of valuable information without the hassle of dealing with others..
Great option for seeing the sites on your own terms

4.00This is the second time I’ve used this company for a self driving tour of a tourist area. I bought the bundle package as I was staying in Sedona for about four days and I knew I was going to be doing a couple of different things. I wound up doing the south rim driving tour at the Grand Canyon on this trip. I find the app very easy to use and they do give you a lot of very cool facts about the area that you’re driving in. The map was very accurate and told me exactly where I should stop and park to see some of the most important sites. When I would get back in the car and plug my phone back in the map would pick up right where I left off, which was nice. Guided tours are nice, but sometimes you just wanna control your own timetable and see things at your own pace and this company is an excellent way to do that.
Informative and recommended

Not What We Thought

1.00The audio tour never synched with the location we were at. We had to call for customer assistance in trying to get it to work. We were disappointed and frustrated.
Horrible App, do not waste your money!

1.00Do not waste your money!!! This app did not project onto my car's video screen when connected. It does not work with Android Auto (android phone) or Apple CarPlay (iPhone). We tried it by connecting both my android phone and my husband's iPhone and neither worked. You can hear the app playing through the speakers, but the app will not project on the car's screen. Apparently the app is designed for people with older cars with no screens, where the person actually has to use a phone holder which we do not have. Additionally, the information provided is extremely limited and basic, as if it is designed for a 3rd grader. You can look up better information on your own and plot the different stops along the way. We were so frustrated with this app as it was too late to plan alternatives once we became frustrated with its ineptitude. The fact that you can only get a full refund within 24 hours of purchase is ridiculous.
I had real trouble...

3.00I had real trouble understanding how this app works. I bought Sedona to GrandCanyon trip but it came with a bundle with individual trips of its own like GC trip and Sedona strips but not Sedona to GC trip. So, 1) Figuring out was very painful 2) It is also very painful when the offline app stops working in the middle of no where on individual trip and expects to have WIFI available to figure out a return back. But no WIFI on many of there trip endings. So had a very hard time here as well.
