A very helpful guide, cleverly presented thru your car’s info-system. It knows wher me you are and provides info and direction. Well worth the cost!

Easy. Gave lots of good information about the park. We were unable to hike that day so this was a great alternative. Voice was clear and instructions were easy.

Drive slow, take your time, and get out of the car! Each stopping point has very good info and easy to follow. Took us 4 hours because we stopped at every viewing spot. 28+ miles round trip. Narration is one way.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Karen, thank you for taking my Arches GPS driving audio tour.

Don't waste your time.... find some written assessment of what you will see.
The download was easy but the big picture of how to operate the app once downloaded was vague.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Robert, I’m sorry you weren’t able to use my Arches National Park audio tour. After booking, I send setup instructions with a tutorial video. The tour is valid forever, so I’d love for you to try it again, or I can offer a replacement tour of your choice. Please reach out to me (separate from Viator) between 9 AM and 6 PM EST.
It was great, super informative, and gives you a step-by-step guide on where to go throughout the park. I came without it at first and got to see a couple of things on my checklist. Then I used it on my last day, and I'm so glad I did. I gained a much deeper understanding of the park and an even greater appreciation for it & took me to places I would of not been able to look for on my own.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Jennifer, thank you for taking my GPS audio tour of Arches National Park. I’m so glad it helped you discover more places in the park, follow the route step by step, and come away with a deeper appreciation for Arches. I hope you’ll try my Utah parks bundle or another flexible audio tour from me soon. Happy exploring!
Lots of great information. Easy to follow. Especially liked that the audio began as soon as we were approaching the next location and that there was a roadmap showing exactly where our car was on the trip and where the next destination was. Each destination was listed in sequential order so it was easy to know which one was next. If we hadn’t absorbed the information and wanted to hear it again, very easy to go back to that numbered site and listen again. Exceeded our expectations! We are traveling to more places before returning home and will go to the site to see if there are more tours that we can purchase from Viator.
Response from Host, May 2026
Kathleen, I’m so glad to hear my Arches National Park GPS Driving Audio Tour exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to know you found the tour easy to follow and enjoyed how the audio automatically started as you approached each location. I’m especially happy the map, numbered stops, and replay feature helped make the experience smooth and flexible throughout your trip. I'm glad you found the info worthwhile and detailed. If you’re ready for more, try my Ultimate Utah Bundle Tour with Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef. Happy exploring!
Be patient. Sometimes info lags behind from a location. It does catch up and sync up. The price is well worth the info you get that you would not necessarily know
Response from Host, May 2026
David, I’m glad you enjoyed the Arches National Park GPS Driving Audio Tour. I appreciate your patience with the GPS lag. Please let me know where you experienced it most, to help me investigate.

It was perfectly narrated and we learned so much about the history of the different structures and the landscape that we were coming up to. We would never have known this information if we were just driving it on our own!

Make sure you plan enough time in the park to see everything. This place is totally amazing. The landscape is other worldly.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dorothy, I’m so glad you enjoyed my Arches National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. You’re absolutely right—Arches is truly otherworldly, and allowing enough time makes all the difference. I’m glad the tour helped you experience the park’s incredible landscapes at your own pace. If you ever visit again or explore a new destination, check out my Ultimate Utah Bundle Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, which includes tours of Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Happy exploring!
We love using self guided tours on Viator! They are very informative and lead us to viewing sites we would probably have missed. My only issue I had was I didn't realize I needed to download the Action Tour Guide app prior to starting tour. It didn't advise during purchase process or emails. Thankfully, we were close enough to visitor center for service. With that being said, the guide was fantastic and informative as always!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Cheryl, I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed using my Arches National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. I’m thrilled that the tour was informative and helped you discover new sights. I provide clear instructions for downloading and setting up the app after booking, which are also mentioned in both pre-purchase and post-purchase emails. If you ever visit again or explore a new destination, check out my Ultimate Utah Bundle Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, which includes tours of Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Happy exploring!
App did not work. I felt it was not an app that told you about the various things to see in park, but was more like Waze which I already have.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Nancy, thank you for your feedback. It seems you haven’t used the provided password yet. My app is a self-guided audio tour, and once you download the app and tour content, it works offline. You can start the tour from the beginning or anywhere along the route, and the audio stories will play automatically with GPS. Unlike Waze, which is a navigation app, our app offers detailed audio commentary. Our tours are valid for a year, so you have plenty of time to enjoy them. If you need a refund or replacement, feel free to contact me directly.
We did not get to do our tour due to the government shutdown. However we did drive into arches and saw a few arches.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Pamela, I’m sorry to hear that the government shutdown impacted your visit to Arches National Park. I suggest checking the official NPS website before visiting to avoid this problem in the future. Don’t worry—my tour is valid for a year, so you can always come back when the park is open. If you don’t plan to return, I’d be happy to offer a replacement tour or process a refund. Feel free to reach out—I’m available daily from 9 to 6 EST to assist. Safe travels!
It was excellent! Emphasize downloading before trip to facilitate listening at the appropriate time. Looking forward to listening to others!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Aharon, I’m so glad you enjoyed my Arches National Park audio tour. You’re absolutely right—downloading the tour before your trip makes the experience smoother and ensures the narration plays at the right times. I’m excited you’re looking forward to exploring more of my tours. If you ever visit again or explore a new destination, check out my Ultimate Utah Bundle Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, which includes tours of Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Happy exploring!
Allow an least 4-5 hrs. All day if you want to do longer walks - more than 30 mins. Great guidance on the Audio. Parking can be an issue but return trip gives a second opportunity.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Lynda, I’m glad you enjoyed my Arches audio tour. It’s wonderful to hear that the guidance helped you plan your day, whether for a shorter drive or longer walks. I’m happy the return trip gave you a second chance at stops, and I appreciate your note about parking. If you ever visit again or explore a new destination, check out my Ultimate Utah Bundle Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, which includes tours of Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Happy exploring!
Audio Tour Guide is very convenient and useful application. I am glad that we used it on our tours to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. It could be improved: in my opinion there is no need to repeat guide text on the way back. But over all this application is very helpful. Thank you.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Arkadiy, I’m glad to hear you found my Arches and Canyonlands audio tour helpful! Some of my travelers enjoy listening to the stories on the way back as it helps reinforce the experience, but I appreciate your feedback, and I’ll pass it along to my team. If you plan to return to Utah, don’t miss my Ultimate Utah Bundle, which features Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Zion, and more. Safe travels!
You need a reservation and buying this tour did not cover that. it was a waste of money. came back aftr 4pm a d didn't need a reservation
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Steven, I do mention the reservation requirement separately—it's noted on the listing before booking and again after purchase. It appears that this may have been overlooked, which has caused some confusion. I always recommend making the reservation in advance to avoid any issues. Don’t worry, I’m here to help—feel free to reach out if you’d like assistance, a replacement tour for a different location, or a refund. I am available daily 9 to 6 EST.
We forgot to start it when we got first into the park, but it gives you excellent information. It tell you how far the hikes are which was great.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Jamie, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed my Arches audio tour and found the helpful information, especially the details about the hikes. If you forget to start it next time, don’t worry—just be sure to launch the app at the starting point, and it will pick up from there. If you plan to return to Utah, don’t miss my Ultimate Utah Bundle, which features Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Zion, and more. Safe travels!
It was too hot for us to hike the trails so having the information given to us was very helpful. We enjoyed hearing the history of the arches.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Gail, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the history of the arches and found my audio tour helpful. It’s great that the audio tour could enhance your experience, especially in the heat when hiking wasn’t an option.

If you have an android phone you have to disconnect your phone from the cars screen or you don't get sound. This was not clear in operating instructuons.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Velan, I’d like to mention that my app currently doesn’t support CarPlay or Android Auto—you’ll need to connect your phone directly to the car stereo via Bluetooth or AUX. This information is included in both the email instructions and the listing, but it appears that step might have been missed. That said, I’m actively working on adding CarPlay and Android Auto support soon. I appreciate you pointing this out and hope you’ll give the tour another try in the future.
We loved listening to the rich history of both the land and its peoples as we drove through the park. It was a rich and rewarding experience that we highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Kimber, I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed my Arches National Park tour. It’s terrific that the rich history and stories of the land and its people enhanced your experience.
