I researched this trip for months and did not uncover all of the wonderful facts, points of interest, and details presented through this app. It was like having our very own personal tour guide in the car. I highly recommend it to anyone. We did name the narrator Bing Bong because of the notification sound we received every time he had something interesting to say. Now, every time I take a trip, I look to see if that area is covered with a tour. Looking forward to the next trip with Bing Bong! ### 5/5 — The tour is Awesome! *2026-08-19, version 2.3.5* The tour is very helpful & informative. It really elevated the Yellowstone experience🌟🌟🌟 🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — A good companion *2026-08-18, version 2.3.5* Felt like we had a guide sitting in the vehicle with us. You get more information with this app than you can with just a map. Not just places to see but also information and back stories. Glad we had this. ### 5/5 — Loved this guide of the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks! *2026-08-16, version 2.3.5* My husband and I just returned from this wonderful trip which was highly enhanced by this GuideAlong audio tour! We discovered so many more points of interest then we would not seen have otherwise and it was presented in a way that was paced well and not forcefully presented. I will definitely consider purchasing another guide on our next trip! ### 5/5 — Ice fields parkway tour *2026-08-16, version 2.3.5* My family and I loved the icefields parkway tour. Great information and nice stories to keep you entertained on the drive. We stopped at every location that was recommended. Thanks very much for the wonderful content. ### 4/5 — Great!! *2026-08-16, version 2.3.5* We used this in Glacier, Yellowstone-Grand Tetons, Beartooth highway. We started in Glacier and it was great!! I went with a different app for Yellowstone to begin with because it was supposedly a local guy but the app was horrible. We had to stop at a lodge to get WiFi so I could download the Yellowstone instead lol. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is some of the commentary repeats throughout the park. Not that big of a deal but I’m sure that there is plenty of information that could be used instead of repeating the same thing over again. ### 5/5 — Superb! *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* This app was suggested by a friend and was one of the best suggestions! Used GA for Teton NP, Yellowstone NP, and Rocky Mtn NP; have others in the pocket for a few more tours and can’t wait to use them. Well worth getting a package if you think you will ever visit/use the tours. I would not want to take a trip without it; adds so much value! ### 5/5 — Necessity to your next adventure! 🌄 *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* We have used this app for Badlands, Devils Tower, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons! We love hearing fun facts from the guide and gives great advice where to stop and where not to if you are short on time! We named our guide George and love his jokes! Will continue to use for our next adventures! 😊⛰️ ### 5/5 — GuideAlong is A++ *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* I cannot recommend this app more if I tried. A family told me about their Yellowstone guide and I bought it without thinking twice after their rave review. I’ve recommended this to all my friends and family and even kind strangers I meet during my visits. The timing and clarity of the app is genius. As a process engineer, I’m blown away by the quality and the ease of use behind these tours. Thank you to everyone behind this app, it truly is a work of art and I will be using it on all my trips! ### 5/5 — We love these tours *2026-08-14, version 2.3.5* We're on our second tour and are more than happy with them, very well done and they work great. Will definitely be purchasing more. ### 5/5 — Alaska *2026-08-14, version 2.3.5* Great app funny guide with lots of good info ### 5/5 — GuideAlong is Great *2026-08-14, version 2.3.5* We have used GuideAlong for both Yellowstone and Yosemite. These parks are so big, and the terrain is so varied, that it was difficult for me to just read about them and look at a map to plan what to do. That was especially true of Yosemite because of the way the valley is laid out - I couldn’t wrap my head around the layout of the roads. Having the guide gave us an idea of what to prioritize seeing once we were in the park, as the narration gave background about the park and the various areas, even as we just entered the entrance to the park. I will definitely use GuideAlong for future park trips. ### 5/5 — Hawaii *2026-08-14, version 2.3.5* We listened to Guide along on our road to Hana, loved it. It was very helpful and entertaining ### 5/5 — It’s a Must to have when going for a road trip. *2026-08-13, version 2.3.5* This apps made our trip exciting and very educational. Can’t wait for another road trip. ### 5/5 — Hana guide was perfect! *2026-08-12, version 2.3.5* Our family of five debated paying for a guided tour of Hana versus doing it ourselves with GuideAlong and are SO glad we did it ourselves with GuideAlong. Perfect navigation, excellent commentary and fun history on our drive back. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — RMNP tours *2026-08-11, version 2.3.5* He did a great job. Update information with interesting stores. Our friends also enjoyed the guide. Thanks ### 5/5 — Wonderful app for self driving vacations *2026-08-11, version 2.3.5* Wonderful app! We have used for so many vacations it’s like taking along a friend who knows all the great stops along the way and all the interesting history of the places we are seeing. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Got the Bundle! *2026-08-11, version 2.3.5* So I’m planning a road trip from Nashville to Washington DC and maybe beyond. After getting Appalachia, Joshua Tree, and Hawaii for other trips I know the bundle will be as fantastic as the rest. Heck, it covers everything from Key West to Maine and with Dave Pettitt riding in my back seat I can’t go wrong. He’s hands-down the best narrator alive. Looking forward to this trip. ### 5/5 — What a gem! *2026-08-09, version 2.3.5* We have purchased both the Yellowstone, grand Tetons and Acadia National Park guides. I can’t get over how informative these are. We have enjoyed listening to them so much. I can’t imagine ever going to a National Park again without One. I really wish I had known about them when we went to glacier national. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-20, version 2.3.5* Didnt work 90% of the time! Very disappointed ### 1/5 — My family told me to turn it off! *2026-08-09, version 2.3.5* I thought my family would enjoy this as we traveled through Yellowstone National Park and grand Teton national Park. Two teenagers and a 10 year-old. All kids, including my husband, told me to stop it and never play it again Waste of money on my part. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-28, version 2.3.5* Super bummed with this app. I have used it in the past in Hawaii and it was great. I live in Alaska and was super excited when I saw they added Alaska tours. We drove down to Homer this weekend and the app only worked from Anchorage to Kenai. Stopped working in Soldotna. We thought maybe just a glitch so tried it again when we left Homer and it still didn’t work. Waste of $20, which is disappointing as I would have loved to download more tours. We tried all of the troubleshooting recommendations that the app suggested with no results. ### 1/5 — Really love your Yellowstone and Tetons tour but the Key Largo to Key West was not great *2026-06-18, version 2.3.5* The tour focuses on a lot of food stops and hokey throw back antics. Would have enjoyed more natural sites and stops. Also we came in from the homestead fruit and spice park. I’m not sure if it was on the tour since we were on a parallel road coming down the turnpike. It should be on the tour if It’s not from multiple directions. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-09, version 2.3.5* What a waste- I want my money back NOW ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend *2026-05-15, version 2.3.4* Bought this app/ map on a recommendation from a friend when it was Gypsy. Clearly things have changed but I found it useless for the information I was seeking. Frankly for me, a total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Delete your info by itself *2026-04-12, version 2.3.4* Terrible they delete your login and want you to pay again. They can't recover your account even you knew you had one. ### 1/5 — USE A DIFFERENT APP *2026-03-25, version 2.3.4* Seems great if it works. Won’t show my tour, booked through TripAdvisor. Have gone through the troubleshooting path multiple times, with NO success. Using the same account as tour booked under, even tried all accounts just in case- never shows up. Here is the problem. Unlike Shaka or other apps, there is no additional support. NONE. You have no contact information, no chat bot, nothing. Money gone for an expensive tour and no help. ### 1/5 — Difficult *2025-12-09, version 2.3.4* I paid and then website not loading ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-09-12, version 2.3.4* All this guide seems to want you o do is follow a cookie cutter loop while it talks (which I could not even get it to do with my rental car so I was left with phone speaker). The mapping SHOULD work with appleplay, you would think. It doesn’t. You cannot plan your trip and enter what you want to see and have it map it. I found it to be a total waste of money. I stopped bothering to try to use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Maui- Road to Hana *2026-08-22, version 2.3.5* Unless you’re taking a tour bus there is no other way to do this drive! This was awesome. You can absolutely do the road to Hana yourself with this audio tour, very knowledgeable about the road and history and must stops. We were nervous about this drive but this gave us so much ease and we had a wonderful time. Great work!!! ### 5/5 — Grand Canyon *2026-08-21, version 2.3.5* Well worth the money and very enjoyable. Highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable and knowledgeable *2026-08-21, version 2.3.5* I have used this App for Yellowstone, Beartooth Highway, Grand Tetons and Rocky Mountain NP multiple times. I and my passengers always find it very informative. It is the right amount of talking and being quiet to enjoy the views and wildlife. For large parks like Yellowstone it can be overwhelming on what to see and not miss out on without this guide. ### 5/5 — Love these driving tours! *2026-08-20, version 2.3.5* We have enjoyed several of these tours. Most recently did the Acadia one. So nice to follow some of the recommendations and learn about things we otherwise would not know! Highly recommend if you plan to visit a place that there is a Guide Along tour! ### 5/5 — Yellowstone and GTNP *2026-08-20, version 2.3.5* The app was amazing and made the trip more enjoyable! ### 5/5 — Trusty travel companion *2026-08-20, version 2.3.5* We absolutely love this app and have used it in Hawaii (Maui and Big Island), Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Rocky Mountain National Park. We named the guide Steve, and Steve is the best companion! He offers tons of interesting facts and history and is extremely knowledgeable about the best places to stop for a scenic view, use the restroom, get food, etc. He’s helped us discover lots of cool things that we would have missed on our own. Any time we go to a new place, we check to see if Steve has a tour available, because he makes everything more fun and informative! Seriously, try this app - you won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — GuideAlong for every trip *2026-08-20, version 2.3.5* We use it on every trip we can. Drive is not the same without GuideAlong! ### 5/5 — Arches & Canyonland *2026-08-19, version 2.3.5* Awesome and well worth the money! You won’t regret it. The tour began in the city of Moab and then continued to either Arches or canyonlands. The tour followed the car and started in which ever park we started in. The tour guide would give information about stops we should or could make if we had time, and what we would see if we chose to stop. If we chose not to stop, it continued on to the next site. I don’t think an organized tour could have been better. In areas where there was nothing to see, the tour guide would give us history surrounding the area. Wherever we go, we will see if there is a gypsy tour available. ### 5/5 — Wonderful Tour Guide *2026-08-19, version 2.3.5* It’s so fortunate that I found this app. My road trip to Canadian Rockies became much more worthwhile. When I will take the next road trips I will check the available places in this app. I wish they will make more routes available. Great jobs. Btw, it’s worth for the price. 👍🙏 ### 5/5 — GuideAlong is a Must *2026-08-19, version 2.3.5* We started using GuideAlong back in 2018 when it was as then called Gypsy Guide. We travelled around Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. What an awesome addition to the trip. So much history and suggestions. We’ve since bought most of the guides, and done the whole of the west coast USA. Alaska and Hawaii are next on our list. I even start organising my road trips around the guides. Don’t do road trips without these guides, you’ll be missing out so much if you do . --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
