We found the guide to very informative. The narrator blended history of the region and points of interest along the way. He emphasized those stops that were well worth our time. We appreciated this approach since we only had one day's travel through the region.
Great way to explore the M22

The app works very well. Perfectly synced with my location at all times. The narration was easy to listen to, very informative, and provided great recommendations as to where to stop, what to see, where to grab something to eat. Well worth the cost!

It was one of the best tours ever! Reminded me of our trip to Maui—the Road to Hana felt so similar. Highly recommend it, totally worth every penny!

This app is great! The “tour” talks throughout the drive highlighting attractions, recommended stops, and interesting history. The app uses your location to explain what you are seeing “live”. When we stopped, the tour paused until our car was moving again. Highly recommend!
