    This was an absolute failure for us. We never received the log in information as stated and the trip did not start as stated when we arrived at the starting point. A complete waste of money.

  • Great Education on the Area

    Totally unexpected and amazing to see. The driving guide was great! The guide gives you the history and knowledge about the characters involved in the history.

    First, this app did not work at all on the east portal road. Second, it could not find the starting point for south rim road from visitors center. The strangest thing is once we found the starting point for South rim it worked pretty well. On the return trip it was all screwed up. The owner/coder of this app needs to learn from Shaka Guide

  • Wonderful Tour Experience

    Black Canyon of the Gunnison is an absolute must see and this self guided driving audio tour is the best way to experience this location. The ease of using the app was wonderful, stopping where we wanted and continuing to drive past the areas we didn't care to explore. We look forward to our next self-guided driving audio tour.

    Don’t waste your money. We had our don who works in IT download the apps tour on our phone so we knew it was done correctly. When we used it at the park all we got was a listing of the pull out points listed on the National Park map, no audio plus asking us to check availability of the tour. This was a huge disappointment.

  • Pictures don't do it justice!

    Colorado has such diverse natural beauty and Black Canyon at Gunnison NP is just a part of it. We did the south rim tour and the east portal road down to the river. Two very interesting perspectives. Absolutely amazing natural unspoiled beauty.
