Travis_A, Jul 2026
It was the perfect guide. Enough info to geek out on a little bit without getting annoying. Great timing of the voice overs. Very good info about what your looking at and what your looking for. We totally enjoyed it and look froward to visiting again to see the arches park.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Travis, thank you for taking my GPS driving audio tour of Canyonlands National Park. I’m so glad it felt like the perfect guide, with the right amount of information, well-timed voiceovers, and helpful details about what to look for along the way. I hope you’ll try my Utah Mighty 5 self-guided driving audio tour to explore Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Capitol Reef together. Happy exploring!
Kelly_F, May 2026
Be sure to have your app open and ready at least 15 miles before you get to the entrance station. By the time you get to the entrance station, 21 segments have already played.
Response from Host, May 2026
Kelly, I'm so glad you enjoyed my Canyonlands GPS Driving Audio Tour. The tour begins before the entrance station, so I recommend downloading, setting up, and reviewing it before arriving at the park. I’m glad you pointed this out, as it helps future travelers get the most out of the experience from the start. If you’re ready for more adventures, check out my Ultimate Utah Bundle Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, which includes tours of Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef. Happy exploring!
Paula_H, May 2026
The audio tour is easy to follow and full of interesting facts. The narrator tells in advance when it’s time to pull over for the various viewpoints, trailheads and other stops. The map and story list give a preview of what to expect.

Sandra_H, Sep 2025
Cut out a lot and couldn’t access for the front part that we missed by starting at different place. Thought it was suppose to work without internet but when it cut out it required internet to restart
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Sandra, I’m sorry to hear about the issues you faced. Once the app and tour are downloaded, there’s no need for a cell signal or Wi-Fi, as it works offline. It looks like you may have started from a different location, but following the provided route should ensure everything works smoothly. My support hours are 9–6 EST, and our products are valid forever, so you have plenty of time to use them or request a replacement/refund if needed.

Brandy_B, Jul 2024
This is our second national park we've explored with Action Tour Guide. We enjoy the list of highlights (must see's) and history lessons that accompany us throughout our trip. This is a great option for someone who might have limited time.
We downloaded prior to arrival without issues. There were some areas, that the posted speed limit, was faster than the narrative, and sections were missed. Thankfully, the park wasn't that busy, so we were able to drive a little slower to match the app speed.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Brandy, I'm thrilled you enjoyed exploring Arches & Canyonlands with my self-guided tour! I'm glad it made navigating the highlights easy and informative. For more adventures, check out my Tour of 25+ National Parks Bundle, featuring unique destinations like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Happy travels!

Email passcodes were a challenge that needed to be solved by a phone call. Tour starts before you get into the park. Make sure to check the start location for the tour stops.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
It sounds like Canyonlands' wonders came alive with the audio tour! I'm glad it enriched your exploration, even with the initial hiccup. For more captivating National Park adventures, check out my National Parks Bundle. Explore iconic places like Yellowstone and Yosemite at your own pace. There's a whole world of wonder waiting to be discovered!
Ron_B, May 2024
Hard to pick a “best” part, as the whole park was amazing! The descriptions given by the audio tour were spot on.
Response from Host, May 2024
I'm so glad you enjoyed every bit of Canyonlands, Ron! If the whole park left such a strong impression, you might love to check out my Tour of 25+ National Parks Self-Guided Driving Tours Bundle. It covers a variety of majestic landscapes across the country, including Yellowstone, Yosemite, and many more. Enjoy your travels!

Natalie_D, Apr 2023
Very informative and organized tour. Enjoyed it with the family on our own ride across Canyonlands park. Recommend to anyone wishing to learn more about the park. Just make sure you have enough snacks/food/water on your trip as there is basically none anywhere in the park and it took us 5 hours to cover the entire recommended path.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Yay - thanks Natalie! A great tip for everyone is to bring water & snacks (and a full gas tank). I’m so glad you had a great time at Canyonlands with my tour. If you plan to travel more, you may like my Action+ Tour Bundle (it has all of my self-guided tours, over 100). Thanks again!

Julie_C, Sep 2022
We wanted to drive through Canyonlands National Park so we could go at our own pace and have the flexibility to stay shorter or longer at any of the stops. We have never used an audio tour, so we decided to try it. I am so glad we did as it was super easy and intuitive. We drove along the route at the recommended speed, and listened to the narrator share stories about the next stop we were en-route to see. We learned a lot and had a great time.
Response from Host, Sep 2022

Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thanks so much for the review! I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring Canyonlands with my tour. I also have self-guided tours for other parks (and beyond). Thanks again!
Alexander_M, May 2022
The canyons were spectacular. Coming in the back way through mining orations was very interesting. The cliff side drives were adventurous, but John was in full control.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Driving your own car through Canyonlands is super popular and a great way to experience the majesty of the landscape! I hope you enjoyed my self-guided driving tour!
Lydia_T, May 2022
The tour guide was great. Very informative stuff I didn't even know.
May use it for the arches tour as well
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thanks so much, Lydia! I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring Canyonlands with my self-guided tour. If you try out Arches too, let me know your thoughts! Both parks are gorgeous. I have several other Utah parks (and beyond).
Ashley_B, May 2022
This was my first trip to a national park. I had no idea what to expect. This tour made it easy to see what to do, how to do it, and the path to get there. The map and app worked perfectly with my iPhone. Make sure to download it before entering the park.
Response from Host, May 2022
Thanks so much Ashley! I'm glad my tour helped you enjoy your first EVER visit a national park — how exciting! I hope you get the chance to try out my other tours on your future adventures across the country!
Margaret_A, Apr 2022
The code did not arrive in time for us to use it. The help note said to wait 2-3 hours and try to get it again. We had a time line so had to go without it. There is no service in Canyonlands so we paid but got nothing. I would like a refund. We did use the Arches audio tour and loved it. Which is why we bought Canyonlands at the last minute. When we bought Arches it arrived immediately. We were very disappointed.
Marla_B, Apr 2022
Learned a few interesting facts- but could not coordinate dialogue to places….was frustrating. Overall, disappointed….would not recommend. Sorry.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thanks for your feedback Marla! The tour is designed to work in one direction only. Since it wasn’t matching up, it sounds like you may have been off-route!
