Excellent Audio Tour - We used the Arches and Needles audio tours out of this package and they were wonderful. These are great informative tours that start and stop perfectly based on your location. Without their guidance we would have missed out of many wonderful sites within the parks. This was like having an expert tour guide ride along with you. We will definitely utilize more of these tours in the future for other adventures.

Great way to experience Canyonlands! - We were very satisfied with the overall experience using this audio tour during our visit to Canyonlands National Park. The app was easy to use and the narrated tour was interesting and informative. Our visit lasted nearly 5 hours and the tour resumed easily after each stop. Would recommend to others and definitely use again for future travel

Moab Adventure - Heading out to Moab we decided to get the Action Tour Guides app. It turned out to be an amazing app. It talked us through both Arches and Canyonlands - Islands in the Sky National Parks with step by step and turn by turn directions. Everything was automatic based on GPS location and available off line, once downloaded. Great information we would have missed without it. I highly recommend this and will definitely use it again.

A necessity to truly enjoy the Arches - We enjoyed this very much. In fact, we actually visited the park four times, and the grandchildren insisted on listening every time! The park does have their own self-guided driving guide that is comparable to this, but much less expensive. However, they are phasing these out and only had one CD left when we were there. They offered thumb drives you could play in your car, but your car had to be newer and have the capability of playing these (ours didn't). We ended up listening to both and I thought they were comparable, but this one is tied to GPS, so it talks about specific attractions when you are actually there, which was nice -- the park's just plays through and you have to pause it between stops. Either way, I wouldn't visit the park without one of these self-guided tours. It is a good mix of information about the specific arches, history of the park, and some folk tales.

Very helpful tour information!!!! - It was so very helpful to have the audio information! We were told where to turn off, what we would see at each turn off point, how long and how difficult the hike would be to see the point of interest....we really enjoyed the guided tour and saw way more than we would have on our own! Highly recommend!!

A great self guided tour - Not only did this tell us where to stop and what to see, but we also learned a lot about the history of the area. We liked that it would tell us where to stop and what we would be looking for when we got out. Then the lessons on the rock formations and history of the cowboys.

Good and Accurate - The app commentary was great and GPS, even offline worked perfectly. Only complaint is that voice kept cutting out or sounding weird when offline. Other than that I recommend it:

Audio tour for Canyonlands and Arches National Parks - The audio tour is great if you start at the beginning. We, unfortunately, started it on the way back and it did not track us so was not a helpful. The information was great and definitely helped to decide which hikes to do. I would recommend this tour!

Meh - The Arches audio tour was fantastic. The Canyonlands tour cut off at the end of some of the attractions and while we liked Dead Horse State Park, there was no mention of an admission fee to enter while on the tour. I don't know if this was an optional "side trip", but we missed several stops on the tour because of it. Mid-tour, a screen popped up asking if I "liked the app" or "from where do I want to start the tour?" Not sure if I will use this app in future.
