    A must have when sightseeing!

    Rebecca_G, Jul 2026
    That it is very informative with little known facts and it takes you to all the must see attractions along your route. Loved it!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Rebecca, thank you for taking my Outer Banks GPS driving audio tour. I’m so glad you found it informative, enjoyed the little-known facts, and loved how it guided you to the must-see attractions along the route. I really appreciate you calling it a must-have for sightseeing, and I hope you’ll try another coastal driving audio tour with me soon. Happy exploring!

    Not so good

    steve_q, Apr 2026
    The app was very hard to follow and not senior users friendly I would recommend it to the the new generation

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Steve, it looks like you were able to download my app (not Viator app) and use the password to access the tour. The tour is not available inside the Viator app as I clarified during the chat. Were you ultimately able to take the tour?

    Difficult to operate

    Steve_S, Mar 2025
    Very difficult to coordinate trip on call phone. I was driving and had to switch with another passenger to operate cell phone. Took 30 minutes before I was able to get the route to appear on my cell phone. Was unable to get the trip map on the cars screen

    Response from Host, Mar 2025

    Hi Steve, sorry to hear you found the tour tricky to use. It’s essential to start from the designated start point mentioned in the instructions—once you’re there, the tour should automatically trigger as long as you follow the route and the speed limit. Since it’s a GPS-based tour, staying on the path ensures the audio plays smoothly within its trigger radius. Currently, the app doesn’t support CarPlay, but you can always connect to your car stereo to enjoy the audio while driving. If you need help, my support team is available from 9 am to 6 pm EST and happy to assist!

    Great tour—book if you like going at your own pace!

    Hillary_M, Jan 2025
    Great experience, very informational. The south-side tour isn’t as busy as the north-side tour, but it’s a lot of history to listen to while you drive the long stretches of the barrier island. The north side tour (kitty hawk, duck, corolla was a lot to look at and places to stop. 10/10!! 5stars!

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    On the Road Again

    Very informational. Perfect if driving the speed limit. Had a little trouble getting it started but worked well once we figured it out. Liked that you could see restaurants along the route.

    Give it a try

    Lasharnda_S, Nov 2023
    Better experience (less frustrating) if you leave from the starting point. The audio did cut out but that was because the phone dropped service. Very educational.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Not a good tour.

    Claudette_P, Nov 2023
    Could not use the app. It would not download. It kept bringing us to the starting point. Would like my money back.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Claudette, I'm sorry to hear the app gave you a tough time and wasn't cooperating. I hope it didn't put too much of a damper on your Outer Banks experience. If you'd tapped that help button in the app, we could've jumped in to assist. So that you know, we've already processed your refund. If you're up for giving us another chance, we've got a whole library of tours we'd love to get right for you next time. Thanks for your patience, and take care!
