Highly Recommend

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary. It was interesting & learned much more than just driving through the park without a ‘guide’. It works off-line as long as the app has been downloaded beforehand. It was easy to use & easy to find the starting point. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

I'm so happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed my Custer State Park tour. It's terrific that the commentary added so much value to your experience and helped you learn more about the park. I'm glad the offline feature made it easy for you to enjoy the tour without worrying about signal. If you're planning more South Dakota adventures, be sure to check out my Black Hills and Mount Rushmore tours as well. Happy exploring!
