Well worth the cost!

I would have paid twice the cost! This app made our trip to the smokies. Gypsy was informative and entertaining.

Now come out with one for each of the national parks. I would purchase more of them.

Try and try didn’t work

I had a strong signal but everything went blank when I was ready to hit the road. I did check for software update on my phone but was up to date. I reset the network didn’t work, I try other stuff and didn’t work.

I wasted $9.99 but the sad part was that I could not use the application and had the experience I was hoping to get with the purchase.

Smokey Mountain

Love this app! Very informative! Tells you information that is right ahead so you can pull off and take pictures or go on a hike!

So wonderful!

This is the second Gypsy guide we have used. It’s like having your own personal tour guide and it’s so easy to use. We can’t wait to use it again.

A GSMNP Necessity!

This was our first GyPSy tour and we loved it. This is the app I’ve been looking for: we could drive around the national park and learn about park history, wildlife tips, and get recommendations for everything from easy walks to hard day hikes! Totally worth the 9.99–and this is from someone on a student‘a budget!! We can’t wait to continue exploring the US National Parks with GyPSy!

Love gypsy guide

Just returned from Great Smoky National Park. Spent 5 days inside the park and loved having the gypsy guide along. We used the Yellowstone guide last year and loved it so definitely knew I wanted to use it again this year with GSNP. We call him George and love “George” guiding us around and giving us information and history. He always gets us to stop several places we would have never know. About otherwise. Gypsy Guide is worth every penny and then some. I will use it for every park it is available that we go to.

Plenty of quiet time to enjoy the drive

Overall pretty good. I had expected the guide to talk pretty much non stop. Might be a good idea for the guide to mention in the audio test that one the tour starts there will be quiet times between the commentary.

Great for a solo traveler and I would definitely buy another tour for another park. I like how the comments synch up with the locations.

There was one spot where one could really see the low fluffy clouds in the morning. I would recommend adding this info to the tour before reaching that spot “if it’s early in the day, check out the next overlook for clouds” or something along those lines. I’m glad I spotted them on my own and turned back.

Great app, super easy to use!

Just returned from the Smoky Mountains, this app was very useful! We enjoyed the direction and educational narration very much. I would like to note that Cade’s Cove is closed all day on Wednesday’s though, not open at 10am like the app mentions.

Wow!

We downloaded this on Day 2 of our 3 day trip... worth every penny! There’s more information in this ONE tour guide than we could put together from four tour books! Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t replace planning ahead, but this elevated our experience in ways we couldn’t possibly have planned, or hoped, for.

The Best Ever!!!

Just returned from the Smokey Mountain parkway. A Full Day and going back. I just can’t tell you what a fabulous treat having Gypsy Guide as our personal guide. We have done every tour for Hawaii they have made and because of the guides it was the Best vacation!! Have a house in NC and decide to do it. No regrets!! So happy and such a great day!! It’s so informative, and interesting!! But I must also say enjoyable not annoying guide!! Things you really wouldn’t have bothered to do and you would have really missed out!!! If you are any where near I say it is a must do!!
Looking for the Blue Ridge Parkway to be

Outstanding App for the Smokies

This App is well worth the small investment. Having a guide on our car tour was fantastic — gave a lot of useful information that made our visit very special. Highly recommended.

Great Smokies National Park

This app was fantastic- greatly added to our experience in the park.

A Must for Driving

Perfect for when the interpretive exhibits were closed for social distancing. Timing was excellent and the narrator was so entertaining without taking away from the views!

This is a must have

Makes your road trip educational and fun. A must have. It is like having a tour guide in your own car.

Completely enriches NP experience

When we plan a trip to any National Park, we always check if there is a GyPSy guide available. Every guide we’ve used has been incredibly invaluable and we learn so much more than just from books. The guide never gives his name so my family have affectionately named him, Bob. As in, “oh Bob” (when he makes a “dad” joke). In the Great Smoky guide, we learned so much about the history of the park, the area, and the residents...plus, we heard “Bob” sing! Don’t hesitate...if you are going to any NP that has a GyPSy guide available, buy it. You will not be disappointed.

A Trip Must Have!

I can’t imagine having done this trip through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park without this app. Extremely informative and surprisingly funny.

Entertaining and Informative

Once again we thoroughly enjoyed a GypsyGuide narration. This time it was the Great Smoky National Park. Especially enjoyed hearing the details about how money was raised to establish this park. Our tour guide is articulate and entertaining.

Excellent Smoky Mountain Guide

Joey (as we called our guide) was amazing!!! We only had time for three of the four driving guides and they were all spot on, accurate and straight out funny!! Looking forward to bringing Gypsy/‘Joey’ with us on our next road trip.

Worth every penny!

We have driven through the park many times but this last week we used the guide and it was the best trip yet. Very informative and helpful!

We call him Phil

This was our second gyPSy guide , the first was the Rocky Mountains National Park two months ago. “Phil” adds so much to the experience of being in the RMNP and now of course the Smokies. Can’t recommend these apps enough!
