Great to use.

5.00Once we figured out how it worked, it was great. The only thing is that once the narrator made the introduction, he didn’t speak until we were driving. At first, we didn’t know if we had connected correctly. But, once we got going, it was wonderful to have. The narrator spoke clearly and had interesting stories. We would recommend this.
So much information and drive options

5.00Another great tour by Guide Along. We truly enjoyed the Canadian Rockies & Glacier so decided to add this one for our drive back to Calgary to fly home. We explored Waterton as a result, a real gem! The rest of the tour surely passed the time and kept us engaged. We were a little surprised at the female narrator for part of the journey after a week of our guy, but we adjusted. Haha. We felt like he was a family member after so many days.
