Perfect!
Well worth the money. We learned so much. The tour used gps and played as our car arrived to different locations.
Great way to explore for mobility-restricted individuals
I recently took my elderly parents to Acadia. Using this app while driving around the park allowed them to see and hear a lot without having to get out of the car!
Scenic Boat Tour
Great boat however too noisy for the narrated portion which was nonstop. Provided good opportunity to photograph 2 lighthouses and view of perimeter of Acadia National park.
Didn’t work very well
We downloaded the acadia tour and it worked on and off. When we would stop and walk around and then get back in the car to continue on, the app would repeat. I used another company’s app for big bend and it was great. I also used the Mt Washington app on this trip and it worked great as well. I’m not sure if I will buy another tour from Guide Along.

My new favorite way to travel!
This was great! Even without cell phone service, the gps feature worked well and the audio started at each point of interest. Interesting facts, history, and stories of the area. We enjoyed this so much that we downloaded an audio tour of the White Mountains in New Hampshire and took that tour the following day. I love this app!

Trash
This tour only works if you start at a start point. It can’t pick up if you join along the route somewhere else. Also, the point of interest just keeps repeating itself. I ended up purchasing another GPS tour that worked perfectly. It’s is called GuideAlong. Get Guide along, it works perfectly.

Glitchy
Tried on iPhone 14 and iPad Pro and it kept locking up and crashing. After the 5th time pulled over trying to get it to work, we just quit trying to use it.
Great tour
We took the paid self guided tour to Acadia and it worked beautifully. I highly recommend it
Very nice addition to our drive through the park
We loved the content of the tour. We didn’t love that because we drive slow, the recordings would loop and repeat automatically. It would be better for it to play once with option to repeat manually. This seems to be opposite of some who drive too fast. Also would have liked more of the flute music between points of interest. They say they are working on this. We really enjoyed it.

Acadia self guided tour - AMAZING!!
This was easy to use and very entertaining while also informative. This will be my go-to now for every road trip.
Impossible to plan
Impossible to understand how long is the tour? Do I need to book two days or one day or an hour in my plans to do this tour? Impossible to see the path and the plan of the tour without paying for it
Doesn’t make sense

Loved it !
Very informative and entertaining tour with fun filled facts. Excellent narration along the whole route with interesting stories. Arcadia is a stunning park with breathtaking views and ATG ensured we didn’t miss a single stop. Thank you ATG for making our trip memorable - will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Highly recommended!
We enjoyed the tour. Worked well while driving thru the park. Fun facts and background scores added a good touch.
We will surely use ATG at other locations and will recommend to others.

Added a whole new dimension to our tour
It is a nice concept. Think of it as a the tour guide became digital. It showed the path on the Google map like screen, it showed all the important points and it told us very engaging stories. Also, we did it at our own pace. Stopped in the middle and did picnic lunch. It was also easy to use because of gps triggering.

Superb tour through park
Worked wonderfully!! I have done all sorts of “self-guided” trips before but the BIG difference here is the quality of the stories told. Fun blend of history, legends, facts, and interesting tales. LOVED it. The tour was a wonderful addition to the beautiful sights of the park!!
Don’t miss this great narration!
I’ve never written a review for an app before, but I almost didn’t buy this because of the lack of reviews, so here you go. This app worked perfectly despite not having service for many parts of the journey. I loved that it started automatically based on our location and told many great stories about the area and original (foreign) settlers you couldn’t find elsewhere. It was a perfect guide for my family trip driving around Acadia park loop. So fun, definitely worth $7.99.

NOT GyPSy Guide Quality
This app is fine, if somewhat unspectacular. The narration is adequate and the narrator does a nice job. Pretty good odds you will learn a thing or two from what he has to say.
If you’ve experienced the remarkable GyPSy Guide GPS apps, just know ahead of time but this is nowhere near that quality. The interface is clunky. It doesn’t allow you to listen to music, kindly interrupting like the GyPSy guide does. The GPS gates are omni-directional, and not very well-timed. The narrator interrupted himself more than once with the next gate. (And no, we weren’t driving too fast.) And this is only narration for one path in the park: the road from the main visitor center up to the top of Cadillac Mountain. There are entire areas of the park that are entirely ignored.
In spite of these shortcomings, we are still glad we bought it. It just could have been so much more. Wish GyPSy had it’s own version…

Great resource!
We loved this app. Definitely download before you go and you’ll have no problems. Way cheaper and safer during Covid times than taking a group tour. Very informative.
Great self drive tour!
We read previous reviews and decided to buy it . Saved us $70. We went at our pace and spent most of the day around the park. We liked that it automatically started as we approached a point of interest. Make sure you download the tour before the actual visit. With the Covid19 we thought this is a great alternative rather than travelling with a group of people. We wish that the tour offered more tales of the park while still in between the highlights and worked well on Bluetooth. We did had some connections issues but that got resolved automatically.

Good content, poor app
I downloaded the app to use in Acadia National park. The content was great but the app keeps freezing and crashing. I had to reopen the app more than 30 times and ended up skipping a few stops just due to frustration. The idea is great and content is good- but app needs work.
