How can you give something this bad review?

Allen_J, Feb 2026
It didn't work. Kept trying to take us back to the starting point. It was a waste of time and money. There was no one to talk to us.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Allen, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with my Everglades Audio Tour. I’d like to understand what happened. Were you starting from the recommended entrance, or did you join the route midway? If the app was repeatedly redirecting you, it may have been trying to guide you back to the official starting location to ensure the narration sequence worked properly. My support team’s contact details are included in the voucher and setup email, and I’m always available to help troubleshoot in real time. Please feel free to reach out directly. I’d be happy to walk through what happened and, if needed, discuss a replacement tour or a refund. Your experience matters, and I truly want to make this right.

Great experience!

Marcy_S, Oct 2025
The meeting point is really the starting point for your journey, not an actual destination. Narrator has a pleasant voice. Interesting facts, with time between narration to discuss what you learned and to enjoy the scenery.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Marcy, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed my Everglades National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour! It’s great that you liked the narration, pacing, and the time to soak in the scenery. You’re absolutely right—the meeting point is just the starting spot for your adventure through the park.

A Friend In The Car

Henry_G, Apr 2025
Easy to follow direction. However, several historical errors. Also, would like to be able to backtrack and it follow along.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Henry, I’m glad you found the directions easy to follow on my Everglades National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour; it’s meant to feel like a friend in the car. If you take a detour, simply head back to the nearest stop, and the tour will resume from there. Regarding the historical errors, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share which parts felt off so that I can improve them in future updates.

The facts are explained...

Trishikh_B, Apr 2025
The facts are explained well in an engaging manner which my son also enjoyed !! An overall good experience

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Trishikh, I’m glad you and your son enjoyed the Everglades tour. It’s great to know the facts and storytelling hit the mark for both of you—it makes the journey all the more memorable.

Great tour n

warrick_f, Mar 2025
This was a great way to explore the Everglades at our own pace. At points along the way, the audio gives information about the area. You do not need to watch the map, the audio automatically begins at each spot. If it is a hiking trail, information about the length and difficulty of the trail is given. The blurbs are relatively short yet informative. You can repeat items or pause them if needed. We found the audio to be fun and informative.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Warrick, I'm glad you found the tour both fun and informative. It's great to hear that the automatic audio, trail details, and ability to pause or replay made exploring the Everglades smoother and more enjoyable. Thanks for taking my tour along with you. I’m thrilled it helped you explore at your own pace. If you're planning more road trips, check out my Florida Bundle, which includes tours of Key West, Miami, and beyond. Happy exploring!

Disappointed.

Christy_B, Mar 2025
We thought we were getting in at Everglades City not Florida City. It wasn’t until I paid and downloaded the app did we realize it was at Florida City. Almost 3 hour drive one way for us.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Christy, I'm sorry for the confusion regarding the starting point of the Everglades National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. Our listing specifies that the tour begins in Florida City, which is the gateway to the park. Since you booked for a future date, there's ample time to cancel or contact us with questions—we're here to assist you. If the tour isn't suitable for your plans, please contact our support team for immediate assistance or to discuss a refund if you haven't used the tour yet. We aim to ensure a straightforward and enjoyable experience for all our users.

Difficult start - good ending

James_C, Feb 2025
The starting point - a bus pickup and drop off parking lot made the initial beginning point very confusing and wasted almost an hour of our time until we finally figured it out. Once we did the information was informative and even quite helpful. Once on our way we enjoyed our day.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

James, I’m glad you enjoyed my Everglades National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour once you got going! The insights and history truly bring the park to life. I appreciate your feedback on the starting point and will look into making it more precise. If you're planning more road trips, check out my Florida Bundle, which includes Key West, Miami, and beyond tours. Happy exploring!

Confusing to use

Mary_G, Jan 2025
This tour is launched from another app you have to download on your mobile device. I ended up having to call the helpline to figure it out and start it. It also confused me on where I had to be to start the tour. I’ve used other audio tours on apps before and found them much better. It wasn’t bad, just not as good as I had hoped.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hi Mary, I’m sorry that the initial setup for my Everglades National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour was confusing. A detailed email with instructions and a tutorial video has been sent to make the process easier. Once the tour is set up, you must be at the starting point, and the audio triggers automatically. I’ll work on simplifying the setup in future updates. I encourage you to try the tour again—it’s valid for a year after booking. If you need further assistance, my support team is here to help. Feel free to email me for a replacement or refund.

Worked perfectly.

Shahid_N, Jan 2025
Worked perfectly. Better than being trapped in tour van. We skipped or stayed longer whenever we felt like it.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Shahid, I loved that you found my Everglades National Park Audio Tour so flexible and easy to use. It’s great that you could take your time at stops or skip ahead whenever possible. For more adventures, check out my Tour of 30+ National Parks, featuring engaging audio guides at parks like Yellowstone and Glacier. These tours are designed for freedom and discovery. Happy travels!

Sad it’s so hard to figure out

Nola_M, Jan 2025
After watching several videos, two of them twice, I was still unable to access the tour. I downloaded an app. The app and video indicated that the tour was supposed to start as soon as I arrived at the starting address. I sat there in a parking lot waiting for a prompt or even a “start” button which did not arrive. I texted and then later called for assistance. I received a call back about 45 minutes after I had given up trying. I had already left the start point and was headed to my back up plan.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Nola, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with my Everglades National Park tour. There was a miscommunication with the app's start-up process, and I regret the delayed response from our support team. Please remember that the tour is valid for a year so that you can try it again. Alternatively, I'm here to help with a replacement or refund if you prefer. Let's make this right for you!

Great Everglades!

Donna_H, Aug 2024
We have been to the Everglades several times and this audio, self-guided tour was by far the best way to see the natural beauty while increasing your knowledge of the history.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Donna, I’m so glad my Everglades National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour was the best way for you to explore. For more adventures, check out my Tour of 25+ National Parks, featuring engaging audio guides at parks like Yellowstone and Glacier, designed for freedom and discovery. Happy travels!

Rained out

Steve_B, Jun 2024
Rained out so not able to leave a great review. Driver can’t view photos and there are huge gaps. One section referenced Juan Ponce de Leon coming to Florida in 1921 which is incorrect.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Steve that stinks about the rain! No worries; this tour pass is suitable for a whole year, so you can use it whenever the weather's nice. Plus, you can listen to all the stories manually in the app without needing to drive. That way, you can still learn about Ponce de Leon's (much earlier) adventures in Florida from the comfort of wherever you're drying off.

Awesome product.

Nathan_K, Apr 2024
This was super cool for my Everglades trip. I enjoyed the history and the fact I could do this at my own pace. Loved that it gives you the option to hop off trail complete a small hike then just pick up where you left off. I will definitely do this for my next adventure if there is a product available.

Response from Host, May 2024

It's great you enjoyed my Everglades National Park tour, Nathan! Check out my Tour of 25+ National Parks Bundle for immersive tours of iconic parks like Arches, Bryce, and Canyonlands. I can't wait to join you on your next adventure!

App a little glitchy, but we still recommend the tour

Marsha_D, Apr 2024
We had a hard time getting the app to work properly at first, specifically the volume, but other than that we loved the experience! We valued the ability to go at our own pace, stopping at trails that interested us and skipping the ones we knew we wouldn't have time for. My husband and I definitely recommend this self-guided tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

I'm glad you enjoyed my Everglades National Park Driving Audio Tour, Marsha! Glad that volume issue was resolved at the start. I hope you get to try out one of my other tours on your future travels — I have many across the country!

Audio did not accompany map

Lawrence_S, Feb 2024
The GPS was fairly accurate but the audio was not working. Text was available and but had to be read by passenger.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Lawrence, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with the audio not working correctly during your Everglades National Park tour. There may have been a connection issue with Bluetooth or another setting on your phone. For future reference, our help page, accessible via the app, offers troubleshooting tips that can help resolve such issues. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can assist with anything else.

Worthwhile Aop

Muriel_L, Feb 2024
Worthwhile to have easy access to information while driving through the Park. Stopped for suggested walks along the way. Well organized and easily used app.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Muriel, I'm delighted to hear that my Everglades National Park Audio Tour is worthwhile and easy to use while exploring the park. It's great that the app helped guide your stops for walks, making the experience well-organized and seamless.

Self Guided Audio Tour worth it!

Margy_K, Jan 2024
The starting point address on Viator website was incorrect so it took us a few extra minutes to get to “City Hall on your right”. Was easy to follow along and we took advantage of a few side tours - we were travelling with our dog - dogs are not permitted on the trails. I did try and search, if dogs are permitted, prior to our trip but could not find anything. Fortunately we have an EV and we could leave the AC in our car on, for the dog, while we took a couple of 10-15 minute strolls along certain board walks/trails. The info was interesting and we learned a few things about the Everglades. We did get out of sync just before Snake Bight but were able to scroll and get back online. If you have never been to the Everglades National Park we would recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Margy, I'm glad you enjoyed my Everglades tour so much! I’ve spoken with Viator and they’ve committed to updating the incorrect address. So glad everything else was seamless. If there’s more I can do to earn that fourth or fifth star, please let me know!

Worth the money and...

Rengaraj_T, Dec 2023
Worth the money and pretty useful for anyone exploring park for first time with clear directions and useful info ahead of time

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Rengaraj, I'm thrilled to hear the Everglades National Park Self Guided Driving Audio Tour was worth investing in your first exploration, offering clear directions and helpful info!
