This added value to our trip, but wasn’t outstanding - We enjoyed the audio tour for Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, but having used Shaka Guides in the past, this experience was not quite on par. The tour worked well mechanically, and much of the information offered was useful and interesting, but I would have appreciated more in depth information and recommendations for hikes, waterfalls, and local options. That aspect of the product seemed limited. It was also a bit clunky because we had to use our Google Maps on CarPlay and have the Guide Along running on a phone. Again, Shaka has a technology that allows us to display the map directly to CarPlay. Also, as relevant as copper mining is to the history of the area, much more time could have been devoted to that topic. The importance of the Finnish language to the area could also be much more fleshed out. We would also have appreciated hearing more information about the indigenous peoples, and perhaps insights as to how the UP became part of Michigan rather than Wisconsin. Some of the pronunciations and local word usages were “off”. For example, we don’t call US Route 41 “the 41” as the narrator does. And Wild Bill Mattila would be pronounced MAT-tila in Finnish, rather than Mat-TILA. We also don’t refer to the area as “the yoop” as I heard at one point in the audio. These are small things, but they reduce the authenticity of the audio guide. Utilizing a local researcher and editor would be really helpful. Overall, the Shaka Guides I’m accustomed to seem more deeply researched and offer a higher production quality. This was fine, but given a choice for our next trip — to Sedona - we’ll choose Shaka.

Great tour! - The self driving tour was great! We went pre-season on a Monday so a lot of the businesses were closed though. But we still had fun!
