We really enjoyed this drive from Tucson to the top of Mt. Lemmon. The narrator was very informative. He described the history of the area, the geology, the change in vegetation, and the wildlife in the area. We're looking forward to our next adventure.

Perfect Audio as you move along your tour it will only advace as you do. So when you are at a point of intrest it knows where you are in your tour. Very cool system. The narrator voice was very good quality and pleasant to listen to. Thank you.

Marilyn_G, Mar 2025
This works well when driving up but hard to use driving down the mountain. I didn't notice that the trails were shown in red until the trip was almost over.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hi there, thanks for the heads-up, Marilyn. I’m glad the tour worked well on your drive up Mount Lemmon. You're right that it can be a little trickier on the way down since the audio is designed to trigger as you follow the set route uphill. Also, just to clarify—those red lines on the map indicate optional detours, so you can explore extra trails or scenic spots if you’d like. And since my tour is valid for an entire year after booking, feel free to revisit and catch anything you missed. For more Arizona adventures at your own pace, check out my Ultimate Arizona Bundle. The majestic Grand Canyon, the quirky charm of Sedona, a saguaro cactus, or a red rock vista are waiting for you to discover! Happy travels!

I took two friends with me to experience Mt. Lemmon in Tucson. The audio narration was great once I figured out how to access it. I would not hesitate to repeat this experience again for another outing! .

leslie_g, May 2024
Just to be clear: the byway is a circuit. I had hoped to head north, and back to Phoenix after reaching Mt Lemon., but that’s not possible. It was a 2 hour detour, but totally worthwhile! Only issue with the app is that it would point out a pullout just as I passed it! Then, I’d turn around, but then the app was even more confused momentarily!
Response from Host, May 2024
Leslie, thank you for the feedback on the Mount Lemmon tour! The scenic byway seemed unexpected, but the views made it worthwhile. If you want more Arizona adventures, check out my Ultimate Arizona Bundle. It includes self-guided tours to iconic sites like the Grand Canyon and Sedona and hidden gems like Red Rock State Park.
