When it worked, it was very informative, and I enjoyed it. ### 4/5 — Cades Cove - fantastic *2026-04-14, version 8.4.94* Absolutely loved the audio tour! Kept everyone in the car engaged and we didn’t need to stare down to read something along the way. We could listen and enjoy the views! Great tour! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-04-09, version 8.4.94* Greatest drive along experience ever. The golden circle tour in Iceland was spectacular ### 5/5 — Bryce Canyon *2026-04-08, version 8.4.94* It is so convenient for us to follow along with the stories and the spots on the road. The tour identifies which stops to see and the background story for each one. The timing of the presentations is excellent as we drive along. We love these Action Tour Guide Experiences and use them wherever and whenever we travel! Dependably Fantastic!!! ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2026-03-18, version 8.4.94* We did the Palm Springs and Joshua Tree tours and thoroughly enjoyed both of them! We learned things about both places that we never would have known without the app. Highly recommended! ### 4/5 — Joshua tree west entrance *2026-01-30, version 8.4.93* Enjoyed the information only issue no sound. Between points of interest Natural sounds of music would been relaxing ### 5/5 — Moab Arches *2026-01-03, version 8.4.91* This is a must to do. Buy and download this app so you can a full history of the place and how this place came about based on geological and historical information ### 5/5 — Unexpected for sure! *2025-12-16, version 8.4.91* Truly enjoyed this tour!!! ### 5/5 — Great experience! *2025-12-09, version 8.4.91* This was an easy tour to follow with interesting stories and details. The voice was easy to listen to also. We really enjoyed our day and the ability to stop if we wanted to. ### 5/5 — Personal guide *2025-12-09, version 8.4.91* This added immensely to our visit to Canyon lands and arches national parks. ### 2/5 — Content not consistently compelling *2025-11-19, version 8.4.9* We subscribed to the Washington DC Tour based on the sample. We anticipated comparable information for each stop along the route. If the information had been of similar quality we would’ve given the service an 8 or 9, however, many of the stops had limited information that was not at all like the sample nor compelling. For example, the most information shared regarding the World War II monument was about a small graffiti meme. The service felt like a bait and switch. ### 5/5 — Jim Sillo *2025-11-06, version 8.4.9* The self-guided tour was effective and very efficient. Very informative and well worth it. ### 5/5 — Arcadia Tour *2025-10-18, version 8.4.9* Great self paced tour! ### 5/5 — So glad we purchased it *2025-10-11, version 8.4.9* Would not have enjoyed the park as much without Action Tour. Learned a lot, too. ### 5/5 — Great customer service *2025-10-09* I ordered the East Coast US bundle and was surprised to find Niagara falls(Canada) missing. However a couple of messages to and quick responses from Ronald and all was sorted. ### 5/5 — Used at Gettysburg *2025-10-01, version 8.4.9* Easy to use with easy to follow directions. Highly recommended! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Little info *2026-08-03, version 8.4.95* Doesn’t give much history or stories to the stops or along the way ### 1/5 — Unfortunate Flop *2026-06-05, version 8.4.94* Well, it looks like it would be a good tour but after two hours of dealing with nothing but challenges, I gave it up. My starting location was closed for construction and everything went wrong from there. App stopped working with CarPlay. Then didn’t pick up on my phone when I got to new destination. When I just played stops through the menu when I got there, they were flat and not much information. I regret that I didn’t just start with a driving tour through AI as that’s what I ended up using ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2025-10-31, version 8.4.9* I never would have purchased a tour if I had known the photos were AI generated garbage. A human didn’t even double check them as they have signs for “Rustics Camkops” and “Fotteary.” It’s especially egregious when the tour guide is discussing how vibrant the area’s art scene is. Also, the audio cues cut off before the guide finished speaking. Probably also a product of AI use. ### 1/5 — Worst tour guide app *2025-06-29, version 8.4.4* We travel a lot and use self guided tours a lot. This one is the worst we’ve used. It stated it had 100+ points of interest but did not and repeated the same intro 40 times in a 25 mile tour. Save your money and use different app. ### 1/5 — Guide *2025-05-06, version 8.3.9* Would not load onto phone. Spent too much time trying to rectify it. Asked for money back ### 1/5 — CAUTION!!! *2025-04-23, version 8.3.9* I downloaded this app via a WiFi connection as instructed. I had not even used the app and the next morning found it had drained 50GB of data from my cellular account. You have been warned. ### 1/5 — Very poorly done *2025-01-04, version 8.3.4* Does not work well.. map does not come on CarPlay, only audio so need a navigator to use it.. audio gets choppy even in offline mode ### 1/5 — Road Closed *2024-12-29, version 8.3.3* Unfortunately, the road was closed and therefore we couldn’t use the tour and because it was 24 hours after we booked it there was also no refund available. Not pleased. ### 1/5 — Shortsighted programming *2024-12-28, version 8.3.3* App doesn’t account for road closures or other hiccups a typical navigation app would. ### 1/5 — Good idea, very poorly executed. *2024-11-10, version 8.3.1* Poorly done, voice instructions always late even when driving slowly. Map does not show in CarPlay. Useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Product *2026-07-16* 5 star product ### 5/5 — Smokies tour. *2026-06-20, version 8.4.94* Great app!. Loved our tour of the smokies!! 5 star!! ### 5/5 — Gettysburg Auto Tour *2026-06-17, version 8.4.94* I bought this tour thinking it was just going to give us some points of things to look for. Boy was I wrong. It was a complete history lesson. The narration was fantastic! The driving instructions were precise and extremely clear. I am super impressed. This was more then worth the money. I highly recommend the Gettysburg Auto Tour. ### 5/5 — Wonderful, interesting and informative *2026-06-06, version 8.4.94* The app was easy to use. The tour was easy to follow and hear. We used Carplay. ### 5/5 — Chichen Itzá now needs an update *2026-06-04, version 8.4.94* The app works well, like other similar guide apps. Chichen Itza has undergone a big change due to the new Gran Museum, which is now the only entrance to the park. This has caused quite the uproar among the local vendors at the site, but for now it is open. From the Museum the first site you encounter is the Cenote. So many of the commentaries have the notes on what is coming next, backwards. Still the commentaries are good, it just needs to have some modifications to provide the new path through the site. ### 5/5 — Awesome Audio Tour! *2026-06-03, version 8.4.94* Absolutely great way to tour in a private vehicle. Spot on providing info as we drove through Yellowstone and Badlands. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Excellent! Feels like driving through history *2026-05-07, version 8.4.94* I’m going to buy more of these GPS driving tour guides! I did the JFK assassination and you drive the route and it feels like you are reliving history. The audio narration and the synchronize timing while driving is excellent. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Do Informative *2026-04-25, version 8.4.94* I would definitely use it again. I love the automaticity of it, and that we learned about our next stop as we traveled toward it. So easy to use and packed with great information, hiking tips, location of bathrooms, Length of Trails, etc. ### 5/5 — A great way for a personal tour *2026-04-14, version 8.4.94* We picked up Action Tour Guide when visiting Garden of the Gods park in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed it so much that when we decided to drive up Pikes Peak, we added that tour to our library. Works very well, especially with Apple Car Play in our vehicle. When walking we used it on multiple phones with AirPods to not disturb others. ### 5/5 — Boston area trip *2026-04-11, version 8.4.94* Excellent! We loved it. It was great because we visited in off season and still were able to learn all and more than we had wanted. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
