User Reviews
This is an excellent tour guide. I used it in Boston, Massachusetts to tour the “Freedom Trail” historic sites. It shows the map and different stops. At each stop, it narrates the history behind it. Or you can read it. You can go it on your own and walk as much as you can for that day and continue the rest another day. This is perfect tour at your own pace.
Just leaving Glacier. What an amazing legacy to have these wonderful public lands and spaces that belong to every American.
The app is cumbersome, very confusing and hard to use.
Used it to guide driving tour in Joshua Tree NP where has no signal. It is the best! Easy and enough info!
So well done. Obviously a lot of thought and care went into setting up this site.
The staff at the Visitor’s Center were informative, kind and entertaining. The Pierce Stocking Tour always teaches me something new about the geography, history and ecology of this beautiful park. Keeping our National Parks strong is important for the citizens of this beautiful country.
Lots of digging to get to confused information. Map is pretty useless for planning.
I love the information provided by the app. But, are all parks listed? I couldn’t find Glacier Bay NP, for example. I wish there was a “digital passport” or check-in feature to the app, so that i can remember when i visited a park.
This app offers few answers to questions about the parks and their fees.
We did the auto 2-3 hr tour that was perfect for a rainy day.
So easy to use!! I was able to quickly and painlessly purchase an annual park pass and look up the ins and outs of the National Park we were visiting that day. Super informative and easy to navigate
