It was fantastic & we thoroughly enjoyed the interesting & engaging audio as we drove through the park! It worked perfectly and was nice being able to see our progress and where we were. Make sure to follow the directions & download the app and the tour before you get to the park because there is no service anywhere…as long as you do that, it works exactly as advertised.

Couldn't enter at the preselected entry point and it was frustrating to try to catch up with talking points in any sortu
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Ralph, there was some confusion with the entry point. After redeeming the password, you should have access to multiple versions of my Death Valley audio tour in the app, including East Entrance (Death Valley Junction), Furnace Creek Visitor Center, North Entrance (Beatty’s Entrance), and West Entrance (Towne Pass). Be sure to download the version that matches your starting point for the smoothest experience. The good news is my product is valid for a year, so you have plenty of time to try it again. Let me know if you need any help!
This was so easy to follow and saw all the most important sites to see. We learned so much about Death valkey. This is definitely a must.

We have used audio tours before and loved them but, with no service in Death Valley, we were unable to make it work.

Jodey, I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy the Death Valley National Park Audio Driving Tour due to the lack of service. It's crucial to download and preview the app and tour beforehand since cell signals are spotty in national parks. If there's anything we missed or if you'd like to try the tour again, remember it never expires, and you can use it on your next visit. Or, if you prefer, let me know via the app, and I'll happily exchange it for one of the other 100+ self-guided audio tours available. Your experience is essential, and I appreciate your feedback to help us improve.
