Well worth the small investment

Kevin_N, Oct 2025

Simple and easy to use. I would skip the first two stops and start driving to stop 3 and just play the audio for stops 1 and 2 on the way. Otherwise it was excellent

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Lot of fun, but....

Sequel_P, Aug 2024

I loved the narration, really enjoyed what this was, but I wish the pinpoints/stops where actual sight seeing places. So you can learn about where you're going from stop to stop and be able to get out and explore and take photos. This was more about driving continuously and just listening. Having destinations would make it a more active experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Wonderful to know that you loved the narration telling you about the many points of interest you passed on your drive. Thank-you for taking time to leave us this nice review and to share your thoughts on how we can improve the tour. More actual stops to check out and explore...on it!
