Love Action Tours! So user friendly in addition to a complete guide to your visit to any of the Big 5 Utah National Parks. Love the way the app knows where I am located at all times. Easy to use in order or you can change the order of the sites you want to visit. The narrator does an excellent job narrating and gives you inside tips you don't get from any travel guide I've ever used. I just loved the Native American music in between longer stretches of driving. The App itself is easy to navigate and clicking on the More Information button at the bottom gives you specific instructions on the hike you my choose to embark on. Very helpful! You can click on the Map button and it shows you exactly where you are at. You just start the app once and it starts and stops as you move through the parks. I bought a Travel Book and hardly used it because Action Tours App was so complete. The background info provided also gives you a deeper appreciation for your surroundings. The graphics are beautiful and really help you to identify specific landmarks. The app gives you options to do the trails or hikes associated with each stop. It identifies for you the difficulty levels of the hikes so you choose what is best for your level. You also have options to follow the tour without hiking and lets you know of excellent photo op stops!I can't say enough good things about Action Tours! So easy to download your tour and off you go! I found it helpful to download the tour and to go through every page until the end the day before I visited the applicable park. It helped me to know what to expect and to plan my day. Tomorrow is my last Action Tour- off to Canyonlands!

We were only in Miami for a very short time and some of my travel companions were 70 years old, making it hard to walk or bike long distances to see the whole city. This driving tour was perfect. It allowed us to see lots of neighborhoods and get a good feel of the full scope of Miami. We went to South Beach, Little Havana, Brickell, and a few other neighborhoods. The app was really impressive and easy to use. The guide gave directions on which way to turn (though some turns are quick!! Keep an eye on the app’s path to predict the route yourself instead of just waiting for the narrator). As we drove into certain locations, it triggered an audio segment to play and give us some history of the area. The guide was easy to listen to and understand. He spoke clearly and the volume was perfect. I personally wanted a little more content at each stop because I am a nerd, but my travel companions didn't mind the minute or two pauses in between stops. It give us time to talk to one another without missing content. I absolutely plan to purchase one of these in every city I’m in. Highly recommend!

A great way to see Cape Anne.

We’ve been visitors to Gloucester 3 times before, but this is by far the best way to get acquainted with the area. We had a lot of fun on this drive! This was so cool… to have GPS track our progress and the narrator talks about what we see at the appropriate times! The tour is scenic and the audio is full of information that’s easy to listen to so we learned a lot as well. Since it was our first time seeing Rockport, there was a lot of background history that was a good introduction while seeing the sights. We would suggest giving clearer instructions about how the tour app actually proceeds. It needs to be stated better that the map will keep you apprised of your driving location as you move along, and that the app keeps track of it. The driver needs to know that the announcer will talk automatically when you reach the next point of interest. Maybe contacting the towns for better signage would help too. This was a great find for us and we’re really tickled that we found the app. I would definitely recommend the app and I’ll use it on future trips where it’s available.

Better than a paid personal tour

My wife and I were planning a trip to Moab Utah and we wanted to do a tour of Arches national park. We were looking at tour companies trying to find something that would work with our schedule and interests. We found a few tours that would work for us but then we found this app. We decided to save some money and get the app, buy the arches tour and do it on our own time. This was the best decision we made on this vacation. This app is awesome. We felt like we were on a tour with a personal tour guide but we didn’t have to interact with them (or tip them) and we got to do everything at our own pace on our own time (great for introverts and independents) . The tour itself and the information was great. We found ourselves discussing the information we learned during the driving tour while we were hiking the features which was pretty neat. We felt we had a special experience that no one else around us had at an amazing price. I could not recommend this app enough for those that enjoy tours and learning but don’t want to be part of an actual tour group.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for your kind words! This is exactly why we created this app, so it’s great to hear about your experience at Arches. We offer tons of other tours from coast to coast, so don’t forget to check out our selection at ActionTourGuide.com when planning your next vacation!
