Absolutely worth it! The audio was precisely recorded and the best thing it works offline! Flexibility to start anywhere is what I loved and it was easy to get started. Recommend it to anyone who loves knowing about the journey along with enjoying the journey!

Christopher_S, Dec 2025
We are very familiar with traveling and love to explore on our own. It feels silly but had never thought of a self guided driving audio tour existing. This guide was very informative and really added to our trip. Navigation was quite good too, where I could leave Waze on CarPlay without directions turned on and rely on the audio instructions inside of the guide to help.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi Christopher, thanks for taking our Maui tour! We’re thrilled to hear that the audio worked well through CarPlay and that it enhanced your trip. Just to clarify, we’re actively working on getting Apple’s approval to integrate full navigation features into the CarPlay system, which will make the experience even better. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Michelle_C, Oct 2025

Ami_W, Oct 2025
We really enjoyed the history of Hawaii shared during the drive. Also, pointing out the most import points of interest along the Road to Hana as we had limited time and weren't able to make all the stops.

Ami, thank you for taking our Maui audio tour. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed learning about Hawaiian history and found the tour helpful in highlighting the key stops along the Road to Hana.

Edward_Z, Jan 2025
Based on where we started, the tour was a bit slow to begin with. But once we decided on our destination being Haleakalā, the tour afforded us the feel of having a tour guide in the car. Definitely worth it.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hi Edward, thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear the tour gave you the feel of having a personal guide during your drive to Haleakalā. Starting points can sometimes affect the pacing initially, but it’s great that the tour picked up and added value to your journey. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled you found it worth it. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

Three different people attempted to access the Maui driving tour without success. It was a wash. Tried to to download as per instructions. Could not.

Brandy_H, Aug 2024
I loved this app. It has a lot of great information and tips that you probably wouldn't find or think to look for yourself. It suggests places to stop, vendors to check out, restrictions at sites, and gives historical and cultural details. It does heat up my phone, so I turn off my screen when using it and sometimes have to hold my phone to the aircon after a lot of driving. I like that it just starts talking whenever we get near something and I don't have to do anything to trigger the prompts.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Hi Brandy, Thank you for sharing your experience with our Maui audio tour! It's wonderful that the automatic prompts made your experience seamless. Regarding your phone heating up, this can depend on the device. Rest assured, we hope to join you on the road again soon!
Carol_B, Jul 2024
Best thing we purchased during our Vaca. Never a dull moment with the narrator, and we learned so much history about the island. Best thing about it - Uses GPS and knows where you are driving on every road. No need to start and stop, or re-evaluate your location. I will definitely purchase this type of tour again. It saved us lots of $$ by not using an in-person tour. There were even suggestions on which restaurants to visit.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Carol, thank you for sharing your experience with our Maui audio tour! We're thrilled to hear that it was the best purchase of your vacation and that you enjoyed the engaging narration and island history. It's great to know that the GPS feature made it easy to follow without starting and stopping. We're glad it saved you money compared to an in-person tour and that you enjoyed the restaurant suggestions. We hope to join you on the road again soon.
Kendra_B, Jun 2024
This was the best purchase. The narrator guides you through the Hana Highway with must stop places and the history of Hawaii. He makes sure you are staying on the right road and helps to take you down to tourist friendly stops.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Kendra, thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled that you found the audio tour for the Hana Highway to be the best purchase. It's great that the narrator guided you with must-stop places and the history of Hawaii, ensuring you stayed on the right road and visited tourist-friendly stops. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Angi_J, Jun 2024
Incredible audio tour- technology was spot on and the narrator’s stories and timing was helpful and pointed out some lesser known spots that we wouldn’t have found on our own.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hey Angi, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience exploring Maui with our audio tour! We're thrilled that the technology was spot on and that the narrator’s stories and timing were helpful as you explored the Road to Hana, Haleakala and other incredible areas of the island. It's wonderful that you discovered some lesser-known spots that you wouldn't have found on your own. We hope to join you on the road again soon.
Michele_H, May 2024
It never worked. I called customer service for help and. Fernando kept me on the line forever and kept telling me he had to check with someone and would get back to me. Money down the drain and an embarrassment as we were trying to have this fun trip with another couple.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi there, it sounds like you reached someone else’s support line and not ours (there is no Fernando in our organization). The best way to reach us is by using the number and email on the Guide Along tour guide app.
Damon_B, May 2024
We really enjoyed the insight that the voice guide gives, without being herded around in a tour group. Very nice to be able to go at our own pace.
Response from Host, May 2024
Aloha Damon, thank you for sharing how much you liked traveling Maui with our self-guided audio tour - we're delighted to hear that it was worth every penny! We're so glad that you enjoyed the commentary as well as being able to travel at your own pace, and hope to join you on more road trips in the future.
Shari_W, Apr 2024
Sadly I was hospitalized 2 days before our trip. I gave this a 5 star rating because it doesn't expire and we have high hopes of giving it another go sometime soon!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Shari, we're so sorry to hear that you weren't able to make your trip to Maui! Luckily this incredible island isn't going anywhere - and of course our audio tours are a lifetime purchase that never expire and even include future content updates. We hope you enjoy your Maui visit when you're able to get there.
Constance_C, Apr 2024
Great tour! The tour guide was very good and we learned a lot about the culture and history. It was nice to sight see on our own time and leisure. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Constance, thank you for choosing our self-guided audio tour to explore Maui! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the commentary as you toured the island at your own pace, and how much you learned along the way on the local Hawaiian culture and history. we hope to join you on more road trips in the future - perhaps on Kauai, Oahu or the Big Island?
Shari_S, Aug 2023
We had a great tour of the island. We did not make it to Hana. Everything was good to see and the introduction was great.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hi Shari, thanks for sharing how much you enjoyed our audio tour of Maui. The audio tour never expires, so you can enjoy the tour again on your next visit when you drive the Road to Hana.
