You don’t need to see your phone, We used the Carplay to listen to the commentary. We would have missed a lot of the park if we didn’t have this as a tour guide.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Jerry, thanks for taking our Yellowstone and Grand Teton audio tour. We’re glad the commentary played smoothly through CarPlay and helped you discover more of the parks than you might have found on your own. To clarify for future travelers, the tour audio can play through your car speakers via Apple CarPlay or Bluetooth, but the full map and turn-by-turn navigation do not currently appear in Apple CarPlay. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

This truly enhanced our experience touring Yellowstone for the first time. Great information and very entertaining, I can't see doing a park tour again without GuideAlong showing us the way!

Hi David, we’re thrilled to hear our self-guided audio tour enhanced your first Yellowstone experience. It’s great to know that the information and narration made your visit entertaining and memorable. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Pam_H, Sep 2025
The guide was informative and it was enjoyable. He explained exactly what areas of interest were coming up. We had plenty of time to decide whether we wanted to stop. If we hadn’t purchased the audio guided tour I am sure there were many beautiful sights we would have missed if we had not had the tour. We could go at our own pace which we liked because my husband and I are 65. Highly recommend this tour!!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Pam, we’re so glad you and your husband enjoyed our Yellowstone and Grand Teton audio tour. It’s wonderful to hear our self-guided audio tour helped you see sights you might have missed and let you go at your own pace. Thanks for recommending it—we hope to join you on the road again soon!

Patricia_Y, Aug 2025
I could never get the app to open up. I called customer service and couldn’t understand the person who was trying to help me. Very frustrating
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Patricia, we’re sorry to hear that you weren’t able to access your tour! We see that you redeemed your voucher code correctly but didn’t sign in to the GuideAlong app with the same Google account that you used to redeem the code. Instead, you were signed in with Apple, which is why you didn’t see your tour. Our support team member was trying to help you send us a diagnostics report from within the app so we could find the Apple account to transfer your tour to, since you chose not to share your Apple ID with us. We understand this was frustrating. We also reached out by email but haven’t heard back yet. Your audio tour never expires, and you’ll see it in the app once you sign in with Google. Alternatively, we can help you exchange this for another audio tour. Please reply to our email so we can assist you!

Danelle_S, May 2025
Good commentary, very informational! The only complaint I have is that running the apps on my phone made it super warm. I had to keep it in front the air conditioning.
Response from Host, May 2025
Hi Danelle, We're glad you enjoyed the commentary and found the tour informative. Sorry to hear about the phone heating up — some devices can warm up slightly when GPS is running in the background. Keeping it by the AC was a smart move. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Lisa_G, Nov 2024
This audio tour was super easy to use! It followed us whatever direction we traveled and gave us history, important sights and optional side trips. We had our trip fairly well planned but this added even more. I highly recommend investing $25 on this audio tour!!!

Jurgen_D, Oct 2024
Not sure if I was the problem, if so I will improve my rating.
App was easy to set up and played right away through Android app. So I first thought, perfect. About 10 minutes in the tour from the starting point at west gate, the sound I thought silenced. Stopped the car and tried somehow to get sound back. Disconnected, reconnected, checked Android auto setting on cae and phone loosing about 45 minutes. Sure couldn't look for help on the internet because there was no wifi or phone connection at that location in the park. Moved on and miraculously sound came back at some point, but....
During the whole tour, the guidance muted before any given section had finished. Always somewhere in the middle of a sentence. When arriving at the next section, a few times i believe it picked up where it had stopped before, but most of the time not. So I lost a lot of the tour explanations. I thought it may have to do that I exceeded the speed limit, but I than conscientious drove slow and below speedlight, dragging multiple cars impatiently behind me, and it still happened. So after a few hours I gave up and moved on. Unfortunately, dew to the initial back and forth, it got dark and we missed the last 4 or 5 attractions. Between the sections it is absolutely quiet. Dew the initial issue, i never knew if it was just the pause or if I lost connection or whatever. Would be good if there would be some music between talks indicating that everything was ok.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi Jurgen, we're glad you found the app easy to set up and thought it was perfect. It’s essential to download and set up the tour in advance with a good network connection, which we always recommend before your travel date. Currently, our app doesn't support Android Auto, and we’ll consider adding background music between sections in future updates to enhance the experience. Give the tour another try, as it’s valid forever, and the next time, you can follow the detailed instructions and tutorial video sent via email. Contact our support team if you encounter any issues—they’ll gladly assist you. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Deborah_H, Sep 2024
Loved the backstories, suggested itenerary, and the extra little side detours. This was recommended by our travel agent and it didn’t disappoint. It was so much more than expected.

Steven_T, Sep 2024
Wow, great self-driving tour. Used over multiple days to see multiple sites and both parks. Definitely recommend this. We also took a live tour, but could have skipped the live tour and saved $100s.

Yada_L, Sep 2024
This app was AMAZING!! My husband and were impressed. We got to explore more of Yellowstone in the little two days that we had! And it worked so well with the google maps and the music playing. We were blown away!! Our trip was more pleasurable and memorable and not at all miserable. Did i mention we’ve never been there before??? It’s an absolute MUST!! Do not over look this, download for sure before you go because Yellowstone has hardly any reception. Thank me later 😉

Can’t imagine doing the park without this, it proved invaluable in seeing all the must dos as well as highlighting other attractions. Super informative & fun to listen to. Comes right over top of whatever music or station you’re listening to. We also did the Glacier one and both were 5 stars!!

Lois_H, Jul 2024
Commentary was exceptional and very interesting. It is easy to use and the suggestion about the car charger rather than using the USB port saved us.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

It's great that the tour was easy to use, and the car charger suggestion was helpful. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
Quenten_V, Jul 2024
My favorite part of this tour is the fun conversation starters he has between points of interest. It really improved the drive and we didn't realize how fast time was flying. For example, he tells you about the geology of Mount Moran in a way that has you interested and entertained. We had to cut the last 2 areas short because of all the wonderful ideas and suggestions and wouldn't change a thing!!! We look forward to using this app for Yellowstone and Glacier later in our trip. We're already planning our next National Park trip with this app in mind.
Set up was a breeze and using it is even easier. Just download the app, then download your tour, then have it on as you drive to the park and he starts automatically. If you're busy in conversation you can pause him and he'll pick up right where he left off, drive slower though or he will skip to catch up.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Quenten, thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled that the fun conversation starters and engaging geology lessons made your Yellowstone and Grand Teton tour enjoyable. It's great that the app was easy to set up and use. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
