where there is spotty cell coverage, the audio and photo portions of this tour will not work. you can download the map and text for each stop ahead of time, but not much more than that. also, at least 50% of this tour is descriptions of trails.

Downloading the tour was complicated and didn't work. Twice I was forced to call Viatour and then, when they couldn't help, be transferred to the operator of the audio tour. It wasted time, was unpleasant, and frustrating. The tour itself was OK
Great price and you have a dedicated guide right at your fingertips while traveling in your private car.

It's a bit of a struggle to figure out the Dowload and play, but figured it out. (Not tech inclined) It was a great guide for the trail.
Great companion to a long sight-seeing drive.

This audio tour was well-worth the money. We learned a lot about the Cabot Trail throughout our drive. There were some hidden spots to pull-over and see that we wouldn't have otherwise known about.

So much great information and tips on where to stop. Loved learning the history of the area. As beautiful as the drive was it was so much more when we learned about the history and character of the area
