Finding where to start was a bit of a challenge because I was looking for a place/person to scan my tickets. We never did find a place but drove anyway! The voice narration was great when it started but it never started talking until about 5 seconds in and we always missed the beginning of each story. So if that could be fixed, it was great! We loved the stories and especially the Native American music after the tour was over.

Very informative! It was a nice guide and make the driving to the mountains very easy! I would use another thing similar if I go to other places that offer same audio tour.

We used two tours, Cades Cove and Gatlinburg to Cherokee. We did not have any serious tech issues (just a small learning curve) and the information provided was an excellent blend of biology, geology, settler history and Native American history. We definitely recommend this self guided audio tour

Little trouble getting started but the learning experience was very good. Sometimes the audio preceded the sight so that was a little confusing but also liked the extra stories while just driving.

We had downloaded the audio tour of Canyonlands last year and were very happy with it. When we saw that a similar download was offered for the Smokies we did not hesitate to purchase and download it. It gave us so much information about the Smokies that we would not have known.
