### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2020-10-17*

Get it!! That is my advice. Third time buying gypsy tour app and will keep doing to every where I go in case they have available. My wish is that they keep doing it all over the world. You get a personal guide that will give you detailed information of the area and telling you the must stops and extra stuff that would be worth seeing and you can make a decision if you want to stop or not. I just love it so much!!!

### 5/5 — Another Outstanding Guide

*2020-09-30, version 3.0.1*

This is the third Gypsy guide I have bought and it was just as informative as the rest. I can’t wait to use another guide.

### 5/5 — This guide is spot on!

*2020-09-21, version 3.0.1*

We used this guide for both Arches and Caynonlands and it was super helpful in quickly determining our plan to explore the parks each day we were there. If you want to get right to what to see and when to see it while you are exploring, this one is well worth the $$$.

### 5/5 — Perfect Guide

*2020-09-06, version 3.0.1*

Went to Arches National Park and loved having this going as we drove to each monument.

### 5/5 — Great tour

*2020-08-12*

This tour was absolutely amazing, being able to tell us what we’re seeing and where to turn or go as were traveling through the park was extremely helpful and we will definitely use this program again. I highly recommend anyone traveling to national parks to use this program.

### 5/5 — Best $10 I’ve ever spent.

*2020-08-07, version 3.0.1*

We were able to see both Arches and Canyonlands in a day. About 9.5 hrs and we got everything in except the 2 mi or longer hikes. Bob (we called him Bob because he never gave his name) was a great guide!

### 5/5 — Moab on steroids!

*2020-07-30, version 3.0.1*

This is an absolute MUST for exploring arches and Canyonlands National Park! We learned so many things that we would have missed otherwise. HIGHLY recommend! I will be using it in further travel for sure.

### 5/5 — Apps for Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches & Canyonlands and lastly The Grand Canyon

*2020-07-01*

We started with Yellowstone and Grand Tetons app two years ago. When planning our trip to the Southwest made sure we got all the apps, such an enhancement to our experience. We loved the history and anecdotes along the way, just like a trusted friend in the car along with us on an amazing trip!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app..Thoroughly recommend

*2020-06-30*

I rarely spend money on tourist apps, I usually download a free version and they’re usually good enough...but this time I loved the idea of audio narration and we were not disappointed. It was a brilliant guided tour and every question we asked ourselves was answered 2 minutes later....It was spooky! I would thoroughly recommend the app if you’re looking for something comprehensive

### 5/5 — Worth every cent

*2020-06-23, version 3.0.1*

As much entertaining as informative

### 5/5 — Awesome Experience

*2020-06-22, version 3.0.1*

My husband and I are so happy and pleased we stumbled onto this App. We wanted to make sure we knew about the history and most and highlights of both Parks. The app was amazing. We felt this App was a wealth of knowledge and ensured we navigated the highlights of both parks.

### 5/5 — Awesome narration!

*2020-06-16*

I have purchased this app for seven national parks now...it is amazing!  I’ve used it in Bryce, Zion, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Rocky Mtn, Arches, and Yosemite National Parks.  The narrator is fabulous!  He alerts you along the way with must-do stops and prioritizes others. In between, he gives short anecdotes about the geology or history of the area. His voice is energetic without being childish and the stories he tells are interesting.  Every time we go to a national park, I look in the App Store for the GyPSy Guide for the area...it does not disappoint!!

### 5/5 — Best out there. A must for touring National Parks

*2020-06-09*

The is our 7th National Park in three months. We love these Apps. There is so much you will miss without these tour guides. We had to try a competitor for Capital Reef national park and the difference was remarkable. These tours are by far the best. So much useful information.  One tip, download the app before you get out of cellphone signal.   We love it!!

**Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!  Good news - Capitol Reef is coming!

### 5/5 — Now that’s a tour guide

*2020-03-09*

Taking a whirlwind vacation and only had a day in the Moab area, this was the perfect guide. We had a ball watching for the place and working our way through as we learned a lot of backstory. I highly recommend this app. We knew where to go and what to do and not do because of our age and physical condition. Fun facts and names from the local history. 5 Stars. Can’t wait for the next tour through Bryce and other National Parks.

### 5/5 — Great Guide. Will definitely use another location

*2019-12-19*

Gypsy Guide is awesome. The details about the parks and all the wonderful historical stories make this app well worth the money. Also the person they used for the narration has a very pleasant voice! Can’t wait until we have a need to use another Gypsy Guide!

### 5/5 — Lives up to its promise

*2019-11-08*

We used this guide to tour The Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. This audio guide was keyed to specific locations within the park and triggered automatically when each location was reached. Information provided covered a range of topics - geographical, historical, the flora and fauna, safety tips, trivia, driving instructions etc. The audio was clear and easy to understand. We ended up seeing far more of the parks than we would have without the guide and I feel that we have a far better understanding of the park, it’s setting and inhabitants. We intend to purchase guides for other locations we are visiting. Excellent!

### 5/5 — A must have app

*2019-07-12, version 2.7.0*

We went yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Moab bought the app for each.. A must App made seeing all these parks easy and cheap 2.99-7.99.

### 5/5 — Great App, made the National Parks so enjoyable

*2019-07-12, version 2.7.0*

Commentary was so fun and informative.  Really helped us enjoy our visit to Arches and Canyonland

### 5/5 — Your own personal tour guide

*2019-06-29, version 2.7.0*

We loved it! Lots of information on the sights. What not to miss and what is not as popular to see if you’re short on time. Definitely learned a lot of things we would’ve never known or knew to ask. Worth it for sure!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Great idea - meh execution

*2019-04-04, version 2.1.6*

The technology and concept were spot on but the narration and information were not very good. I didn’t learn anything really and found the narrator to be a bore.

### 3/5 — Not worth the $$$

*2019-09-25, version 3.0.1*

I have purchased a few of these so was disappointed with the quality of this tour, it was boring compared to other tours.

### 3/5 — Great for Arches, less so for Canyonlands

*2016-08-17*

This app - with its informative commentary and easy navigation - is a great companion to Arches National Park. Unfortunately, it didn't work for us at all in Canyonlands. We decided to visit The Needles part of the park (there are distinct areas of the park with separate entrances) and the app does not cover this part at all. So a bit of a waste of money for Canyonlands - but recommended for Arches.

### 5/5 — A must have!

*2021-05-10*

I used the Yellowstone and Glacier tours a couple years ago, so I didn’t hesitate to purchase Arches and Canyonlands for our spring break visit. I was not disappointed. You should not tour a National Park without this app!  The narrator is fantastic and I learn things about the park that I would have never known without the app. There are hints of what to see and what to skip if you are short on time. Well worth it.

### 5/5 — Your personal guide

*2021-04-24, version 3.0.1*

This was well worth it. With visitor centers closed because of Covid this was great. Works in both parks. The gps is amazing well worth the money. Made our trip so much more interesting

### 5/5 — I’m one of those people.

*2021-04-24*

I am one of those people who can get stressed out trying to see too many things. It was lovely to have a guide so that I could relax and enjoy the scenery and not worry that I was missing the most important views. I would use this again, I’ve recommended it to others (especially people with kids in the car), and I hope to find other audios that can travel with me on future road trips.

### 5/5 — Great narrative and very informative.

*2021-04-18, version 3.0.1*

Previously used Yellowstone and Tetons Gypsy Guide so decided to do the Arches and Canyonlands.  Great guided tour and so informative.  Highly recommend Gypsy Guides.

### 5/5 — Incredible app (and series)

*2021-04-11*

We started with the Maui one and it was amazing. We’re now hooked and have used Yellowstone and this one. It’s like having a tour guide in your car. Not overly verbose or chatty and with a mix of history, stories, and mythology of the area. I look for an app from this series everywhere we visit.

### 5/5 — Must have app for arches and Canyonlands

*2021-03-30, version 3.0.1*

Narration made me 100 % smarter and allowed me to really enjoy the parks

### 5/5 — Worth the $ every time!

*2021-03-12*

We always love the special info you can’t easily  find another places and how it just plays as you drive, notifying you just where to look, what everything is called, and the best places to stop and get out for a little walk. The narrator is perfect, and we look for the Gypsy Guide tour in each national park we visit.

### 5/5 — Terrific find!

*2020-11-24*

We’ve been using our GyPSy Arches/Canyonlands product for the last 3 days. I will be telling everyone that they need to get theirs before heading to a National Park. It takes the trip to an entirely new level!  It’s like having a local telling you all the things that you won’t know just by driving past. Such a small price for a priceless vacation!

### 5/5 — Take a gypsy guide along!

*2020-11-22*

We purchased a combo Gypsy Guide for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. It was like having a friend in the car with you who was super knowledgeable as well as entertaining! It’s amazing how the GPS coordinates with you throughout the tour(s). Words cannot convey how much we appreciated and enjoyed the tour(s). We will definitely use Gypsy Guide if possible for our tours from now on!
