The roads at Capitol reef were under construction, making this audio tour useless. The company should have suspended sales of this tour since it was useless!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused by the road construction. As noted in the listing's additional information section and endpoint descriptions, we were aware of the closure and have already updated the details. Our tour is valid for a year, so you can still enjoy it when the roads reopen. If you'd like a refund or replacement, please feel free to contact me directly between 9 and 6 EST. I’m happy to assist!
Walking in the canyons was very cool. The driving tour helped to point out all the highlights of the trip, so you won't miss anything.

The tour was easy to follow, educational and hit all the biggies. Narrator was enjoyable to listen to and very clear and concise.

It covers iconic spots like Zion, Grand Teton, and more, offering the same flexibility and convenience you enjoyed. Happy travels!
We were loving the tour BUT the Scenic Road was closed. It won’t open till October. We didn’t get to the spots where we could see #22-#28. Ugh! We listened to them and tried to imagine what they looked like.

Carrie, I'm glad you loved my Capitol Reef National Park Self-Driving Audio Tour! Unfortunately, the Scenic Road was closed, and you missed some spots. If you're considering more national park adventures, consider exploring the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, or any other 25+ parks in my self-guided tour bundle. Explore at your own pace, and find new wonders each step of the way!
Capitol Reef Natl Park Scenic drive is closed until Nov 2024. I had already purchased this before that notification was public. I have requested a refund as we decided to change our travel itinerary since a large portion was no longer available to the public.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Mark, thanks for the feedback. You missed the update in your inbox about the Scenic Drive being closed until November. We try our best to keep everyone informed, but it's always a good idea to double-check operating hours before a trip, just in case. The good news is the tour is valid for a whole year so that you can use it anytime between now and next July! If that doesn't work for you, reply, and we'll gladly process a refund.
The view, the scenery, the photos, the narrative, everything about our visit to Capitol Reef was nothing short of spectacular.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Kevin, I'm so glad you found everything about your visit to Capitol Reef spectacular! You might love my Ultimate Utah Bundle Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, which includes incredible places like Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. Happy travels!
Had everything downloaded as instructed, tried it prior to going to park and once we got there could not get it to work. Disappointing. Could not figure out what I did wrong. Thought I had followed instructions. Only time I have ever had an issue with any Viator tour. Have used them all over the US and Europe.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Sheila, I'm sorry my Capitol Reef audio tour didn't work for you! This is super rare, and I want to make things right. If you're still in the park, shoot me an email ASAP, and I'll help troubleshoot. Otherwise, let me know, and I'll get you a full refund right away.
These self guided driving tours are awesome. The narrator gives great history and its easy to follow along.
