Awesomeness!

This app is awesome! It made our trip to Kauai so special. We were guided to places we never would have known about. We appreciated the background stories, the explanations, the jokes and the music playlists. Our gang highly recommends the family of guides. You don’t often don’t experience apps that are this great!

Entertaining and educational

I’ve used this app all over the Us from Boston to Maui. It never fails to entertain and educate. I love the history lessons, music, and fun. The app is so easy to use. Thank you

3.5 stars

It was definitely worth using it but the way it cuts off and picks back up is confusing and it’s not an actual map so you still have to navigate your own map which doesn’t always coordinate. Several of the stops were no longer available and some weren’t able to be found. But overall I’m glad I found it and it made my trip better.
