Great Time with the iPhone Audio Tour of Cabot Trail - The audio was excellent. The narrator was easy to hear and he was fun to listen to with his humor. It was easy to follow the map which showed the point-by-point highlights of the Cabot Trail. You can take as much or as little time at each stop and see what you want and skip what you don’t want. The little “quizzes” were also enjoyable. I highly recommend getting this inexpensive audio if you’re going to be driving the Cabot Trail and don’t want to pay big bucks for a personal guided tour.

Great tour! Worth the money, easy to use. - What a great tour guide! So much fun. We definitely stopped more often than we would have as the Jefferson drew our attention to many small things we may not have taken the time to notice. Highly recommend.

Very helpful, entertaining and informative. - This guide was very helpful to direct us and gave interesting and pertinent information about the Cabot Trail. I had a little bit of difficulty figuring out how to start it but after that, it was excellent. One small suggestion I have is rather than have the beep signaling the end of a section, a tone indicating something is coming up would be helpful. The narrative and narrator made this a fun self-guided tour.

This is a steal!!! - My husband and I stumbled across this option after looking at in person tours at the Cabot trail that were expected to take 8-9 hours and cost a lot more. We are so glad we found this! There’s very helpful tutorials which I reccomend going through before you start and being sure the route is downloaded. The guide took us to several places slightly off the route that we would have never found otherwise. We enjoyed the quizzes and competition to see who would get it right. It was very very well done and the timing of the prompts were perfect! Highly highly recommend.

Brings cabot trail to life - Without this commentary we would have missed hike opportunities and the history of all we saw on the trail. It's so convenient that it automatically narrates as you drive. No need to mess with your phone while driving (which is illegal in Canada anyaway). It was such a safe and enjoyable audio driving tour.

The app was unreliable and limited value - The app was designed to travel east to west of CabotbTrail but we did other way. Also the sound voice was sporadic at best and could not get working consistently. While had downloaded prior it did seem to work better when better internet reception.

Would have loved a clockwise version - The Cabot Trail was stunning but we went clockwise and the audio is for counterclockwise . We could not get it to work. We never had enough of a WiFi signal to set our location
