Jack (the name I gave him), was a great companion on my solo road trip! Even made me chuckle a few times. Appreciated all the history and local commentary. Will definitely do this again!

Hi Rita, thanks for taking our audio tour. It’s so nice that you gave my audio tour a name — “Jack” sounds like a fun companion. We’re glad he made you chuckle and that you enjoyed the history and local commentary on your solo road trip. We’d be thrilled to have you travel with Jack again on your next adventure. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
We enjoyed the self guided tour. We found the information to be informative and relevant. The suggestions were excellent!

Sarah, thank you for taking our M-22 Michigan Lakeshore audio tour. We're excited to hear that you found the information informative and relevant, and that the tour’s suggestions enhanced your experience. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed exploring the area at your own pace. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Learning new things about our beautiful state was immensely enjoyable! I would never have known about Old Facefull or the story of how the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Manitoba islands got their names. We plan to do the trip again next summer!

Hi Julie, thank you for sharing your experience with our Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour in Michigan Lakeshore, M-22! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed learning new things about the beauty of your state and discovering stories like Old Facefull and the origin of the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Manitoba islands. It's lovely that you're already planning to do the trip again next summer! We look forward to being part of your next adventure!
Unfortunately, while I was able to download the tour from Viator, I was not able to listen on the app for listening. Why? You are supposed to use the same log in for Viator as for the listening app. I used a one time password offered by Viator to log into Viator and therefore I could not match it to my Apple ID or Google is. So this purchase was useless.

Hi Jennifer, you need to follow the instructions sent via email. You cannot listen to the self-guided tour on Viator. After booking, you will receive a link via email. You need to sign in using that link, which will allow you to download the app. Use the same sign-in credentials for both. Once you follow this, you might see the tour you bought in your "My Tour" list. If you cannot participate, don't worry—your tour is valid forever. You can give it another try by following the instructions. I hope you will give it a try and enjoy it next time!
We very much enjoyed hearing the history and highlights of the areas on this itinerary. The pace was great and I really loved that all of the technology worked as intended. Well done experience, can’t wait to find another tour for future adventures!

This was a great way to explore the Leelanau peninsula. I appreciated the suggestions of things to do and a gauge of how long they would take. The narrator was entertaining and shared investing tidbits about the area.
