3.00The audio tour didn't work well for us. The map and the audio would only play on the phone and would not play on the screen in the car.

5.00Great tour! Excellent historical information and timely sightseeing stops! Highly recommended!
Much too hard to navigate with signal. Disgusted with the charges for non-US residents

2.00We were so excited to explore Yosemite, which was a bucket list of mine. We hired a car and drove 3 1/2 hours only to be told that recently they made changes that Americans can enter for free but Americans must pay $100 USD each. I was having issues with my bank and could not access extra money. This caused so much stress as I was unaware that a national park was charging us so much money to enter. We were extremely disappointed. There is no reception therefore navigation was impossible with a GPS. The map they had given us was not user-friendly. It took us too long to find the beautiful spots. The shuttle bus for the Sequoia Forest closed much too early. The road was closed to drive up and park closer so we had no choice but to walk. By the time we walked down, we were exhausted and it was completely during the night time where we could’ve been attacked by black bears or other animals. It was a traumatic experience for us in the end. It wasn’t worth all the stress.
This is a very cost...

5.00This is a very cost effective to see the park on your own time. The recording begins even before you get to the park entrance and navigates you to all the sites providing descriptions and history.
Easy, fun, pretty...
