### 5/5 — Fun addition to the road trip

*2026-07-30*

Driving up the California coast and we purchased the Santa Maria to Monterey tour.  Downloaded the tour ahead of time (definitely recommended) as there are places along PCH that will have no coverage.  Amazingly, the GPS aspect of the app never wavered, each leg of the tour automatically began as we approached it.  Loved Jefferson’s humor, tone and pace of delivery.  He felt like an extra passenger in our car and made our drive fantastic.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2026-07-21*

App constantly crashes and will not open half the time

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-07-14, version 9.0.592*

Paid for a tour, was directed to download this app.  The app only shows the Home Screen. There is no way to move past it to be able to do the tour.

### 1/5 — Your app update 1 day ago

*2026-07-11, version 9.0.579*

The app will not open 😡

### 1/5 — App wont load

*2026-06-21*

Don't bother. The app won't load.  I've deleted and redownloaded and nothing.

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2026-05-20*

Couldn’t get the app to work. Not possible to do the tour I purchased because of an app that does not go pass a blue screen with a big company logo.

### 5/5 — Winnipeg Ghost Tour

*2025-10-07, version 9.0.419*

I LOVED THE GHOST TOUR SO CREEPY I LOVE ALL THAT GHOST HAUNTING STUFF Can You Please Add More Haunted Places In Winnipeg There Were Some Places That Were Missed On The Ghost Tour

### 2/5 — Don’t forget waste money on Bay of Fundy tour.

*2025-08-30, version 9.0.357*

This review applies only to Bay of Fundy tour. This was the first I tried, and while not specifically the Dev’s fault, they should warn purchasers that cell coverage along the route is spotty at best and often nonexistent. This means no commentary. 
Also, if you do the tour in anything other than the set order, the directions are pointless and a waste of time. 
Don’t waste your money!

### 5/5 — A great app!

*2024-07-19, version 9.0.179*

We did the walking tour of Miles. Canyon in the Yukon and it was fabulous! We learned a lot and loved that it was so flexible. You can take a side trail and take your time to see all that you want.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2023-09-28, version 9.0.7*

This tour was great!!!! I did the ghost tour in Drummheller Alberta. It was spooky and so much fun. The narrator told us where to turn and how far it would be. On longer walks the narrator told spooky stories of the area. Well worth the money!! 

Only suggestion, make more tours like this!!!
