Stop and smell the rocks...

Gabby_G, Nov 2025
It was a perfect way to go at our own pace and enjoy nature. We got to see a hiker on top of a very tall rock formation. And the guided tour was very informative with extra info.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Gabby, thank you for taking our Arches and Canyonlands audio tour. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring at your own pace and valued the informative narration along the way. It sounds like spotting that hiker on the rock formation made the experience even more memorable. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

Hi Tabatha, thank you for sharing your experience with our self-guided audio tour of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.

Bypass Viator - go directly to GuideAlong

Marilyn_M, Jul 2023
The tour provided by GuideAlong was fantastic, but getting to it from Viator was a nightmare. I would recommend going directly to GuideAlong to buy the tour and bypass Viator.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Marilyn, thanks for taking the time to share how much you enjoyed your audio tour through Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. It certainly is easier when you book direct with our company, as the process is simplified, and we can be sure that you'll receive our direct communication. If you could reconsider adjusting your rating we would greatly appreciate it - as the rating affects us rather than Viator who you booked with. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

Awesome experience

Charlene_Y, Nov 2022
Really enjoyed audio, I think we would have driven past a few without realizing what we were missing, so glad we saw the sites. Makes me want to return to Mesa Verde again with the audio to get the full experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi Charlene, Thanks for taking the time to share how much you enjoyed exploring Arches and Canyonlands with our audio tour. We hope to join you on the road again in Mesa Verde soon!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hi Lynn, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on our audio tour through Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We hope to join you on the road again soon.

Top concept!

Bea_V, May 2024
Wat een fantastisch concept! Door de audio guide hebben we juiste keuzes kunnen maken in Canyonlands (omdat we beperkte tijd hadden) en hebben we toch het gevoel alles wat belangrijk is te hebben gezien! En in Arches zijn we 2 dagen geweest; de 2e dag gewoon weer opgepikt waar we eerder gebleven waren. Super! En zo persoonlijk gemaakt dat je je bezwaard voelt om de audio guide af te sluiten 😂. Wij gaan zeker meer parken onder begeleiding van deze audio guides bekijken!

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Bea, thank you for choosing our audio tour to help you make the most of your limited time in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We're so glad to hear that you were able to see everything you wanted to see - and that you enjoyed the commentary so much that you were reluctant to close the app! We hope to join you on more road trips.
