Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Useful app worked as a guide *2019-09-17* We enjoyed our tour around Yosemite with the audio guide in the car. Perhaps a little more history of the park, area, and rare plantation, animals would have made the audio more enjoyable and informative. It’s a good app to have, it also gave you instructions on where to turn etc. Worth the £5.99. ### 5/5 — Gypsy Made The Trip So Much Better! *2019-09-13* My wife and I learned about the app on the Yosemite Facebook page and also saw it in a Yosemite magazine. We decided to try it and were so glad that we did! We learned so much driving from place to place and all of the recommendations were spot on. It is also very helpful with where to turn, etc. We came away from the trip with so much more history and knowledge than we would have got by just doing it ourselves. Really cool and highly recommended. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Well worth the money. The guide sounds like someone I would love to meet! Personable, funny, articulate and so informative! Around every turn seems something new and enjoyable to hear about! Such great information and just interesting to listen to. Have just purchased the guide to Zion and Bryce Canyon trips and can’t wait to use it again .

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Best App Ever Made for Yosemite *2019-08-13* This made my Yosemite trip 1000x better. We drove into the park in the South Gate and I remembered to turn this app on. I was blown away at how you basically have a knowledgeable tour guide in the car with you! He recommended we stop at Glacier Point, then showed us the Yosemite Valley! Just buy this app if you are going to Yosemite, even if you have been there before this will tell you about facts and stories you didn’t know! BUY BUY BUY!!! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour! A NEW GyPSy Guide app is now released in the App Store so you can keep and purchase all of your tours in one place.

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Amazing technology! *2019-08-13* Whoa! This app absolutely made the trip to Yosemite perfect for us! We named him Papa and he guided us through every part of this national treasure. Plenty of advance notice when there was a decision on a turn to take or a picture opportunity...without him we would have been lost both geographically and educationally! Although they give you a map when you enter, just save that for when you get back home! Papa gave us so much history and information on each feature that we may not have taken the time to research...real time and real eyes on the park feature as he described it. Use this app ...period! You will love it! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour! A NEW GyPSy Guide app is now released in the App Store so you can keep and purchase all of your tours in one place.

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Must-have app for your visit! *2019-07-23* I am so glad I heard about this app before taking a family trip to Yosemite! This app is absolutely perfect - it works flawlessly (even without cell service), the narrator is well-spoken and pleasant to listen to, and it is full of great facts and recommendations. We just started the tour, put the phone down, and listened to all the great info as we navigated the park. You don’t need to ever touch your phone. All of the information is automatically triggered by your GPS location. It warns you of upcoming points of interest, where to turn off, and gives hints about best parking options. This frees you up to just enjoy the views! It’s really like having a tour guide with you in your car. Absolutely worth the money! I will definitely purchase their other apps if we visit other locations they cover. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Worth it *2019-07-12, version 2.7.0* This was a great app! Great information about stops and informative stories to learn about the park. I’ll definitely be buying his other locations! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-06-30, version 2.7.0* This app is absolutely amazing and worth the money. It was like we had our own personal tour guide in our car. I would highly recommend it for everyone. Even my 20 and 18 yo loved it. Best app purchase ever!! ### 5/5 — Well worth it *2019-06-26, version 2.7.0* My family is really enjoying the audio tour as we drive around various site seeing spots in Yosemite National Park. Excellent app And well worth it. ### 5/5 — Great to have *2019-06-15* Having used the Gypsy guide for our tour around the Rockies we had to have our friend in the car with us for our Yosemite trip. Educational, informative and fun. Keep up the great work. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — A must for any trip *2019-06-08* Makes the drives so much more enjoyable! This was the first time I used Gyps Guide since I only just heard about it. I am mad that I did not know about it for a past trip to Yellowstone. It makes the driving so much better, and it is great to know in real time what you are seeing and if you are missing anything. Between the navigation, tips, stories, and suggestions, it is a must, especially for national parks! I am excited to see future improvements and new locations. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Don’t go on a trip without it!! *2019-06-03* While planning our trip to Yosemite National Park, I read about this app somewhere and thought ok, I’d risk the few bucks!! I am sooooo glad I did! We didn’t miss a thing while riding through Yosemite, and decided to ride to Hetch Hetchy as well! It’s like having your own personal tour guide! I happened to have bought a portable battery charger for this trip, so I never had a problem with a dying battery. If you’re planning on spending money to go on vacation, then spend the extra on this app and the battery charger. You won’t regret it! Now I can’t wait to go on more Gypsy Guide tours! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-05-26, version 2.1.6* This audio driving tour was absolutely perfect for our first visit to Yosemite. So helpful and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this app and will definitely be using other gypsy guide apps for other parks! In my opinion, this app is a must have for your first visit. ### 5/5 — Really great *2019-03-20* This app was surprisingly good. I just spent two days in Yosemite, and this app worked beautifully. This is an audio guide. You start the app while you’re driving and it gives you information as you drive, based on knowing your location and which direction you’re traveling. The script is quite rich, and the person who recorded the audio was quite skilled at it. It was like having a tour guide riding in the car with us. In addition to information about stops and scenery, it also give navigation information that is very well timed to help you get into the right lane at the right time for wherever you want to go. It was absolutely worth the several dollars I paid for it. Keep in mind, though, that this is just an audio guide, and while it was great, I was initially surprised that it didn’t have any text-based info in it. That is, it doesn’t have anything in it that you can read in advance of your trip, to research what sites to see or to plan your itinerary. Just get a different app for that and plan on launching this one as you approach the entrance to Yosemite National Park, and keep it running whenever you’re in the car. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Great Guide *2018-10-13* We loved using this app during our trip to Yosemite - it was like having a guide in the car with us. Really helped us understand what we were looking at and make decisions about where to go and what sights to see. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-25, version 2.1.6* This is a must have for any National Park available. What an incredible piece of technology. ### 5/5 — Completely changed our trip *2018-09-24* I downloaded this app at the end of our first day in the park. Man did this tour change our trip. He is so knowledgeable and helps even in guiding through traffic. Everyone in our family love him and we will definitely buy another app wherever they are available. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No audio *2017-08-05, version 2.0.5* Waste of money. ### 4/5 — Great GPS Guided Tour of Yosemite *2018-12-24* I've been to Yosemite several times, but my husband of 72 years had last been here with his family when he was a child. I found this app to give him an audible experience along with our drive through. It's wonderful! Many helpful directives some of the iconic places in the park and entertaining historic tidbits between stops. The only thing is the narrators self promoting discussions of his publications - but you can't blame the guy for shameless plugs on his own app! 😏 Having said that, we thoroughly appreciated this app and will definitely use it again for another destination! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed the tour. Yes, at the end of the tour we do tell our customers about the other tours that we have in the region and in further away destinations. We thought the delivery of that was quite light-hearted - hope you didn't find it too imposing on your enjoyment! ### 4/5 — Very informative *2018-05-13, version 2.1.1* A very informative and helpful ap. Love that it runs on location services alone as service in the area is spotty if non existent.The ap developers should provide an update for current information . The information regarding entrance requirements to Hetch Hetchy are outdated. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!! *2021-05-24* This app brought me to the most breathtaking scenic locations in Yosemite that were not described, or even mentioned, in my guide book! (Two are Taft Point/The Fissures and Washburn Point, both on the road to Glacier Point.) The narration is educational, and delivered in a friendly, congenial manner. Feels like he’s a friend traveling with me who is chock full of knowledge. As other reviewers have said, the app works flawlessly, even in areas where there is no GPS or cell phone reception. I am so grateful for this app. I have already purchased it for my next national Park trips. ### 5/5 — Must-have for your trip *2021-05-23, version 3.5.1* This app was helpful to know which lanes to be in to maximize seeing attractions in the park. We loved the stories peppered in along the way. So glad we discovered this app before the trip! ### 5/5 — Best Tour Guide *2021-05-10, version 3.0.1* Simple to use! !!! Guided us through Yosemite with ease! Very informative! ### 5/5 — Great alternative to a real tour guide *2021-01-09, version 3.0.1* Excellent value for the money. We were going to take a bus tour, but they were closed. Our hotel suggested this and we were very happy we tried it. ### 5/5 — The whole family loved the Gypsy! *2020-07-30* We were so glad we downloaded this and had Mr. Gypsy take us around Yosemite and tell us stories along the way. My 7 and 10 year old loved it, and even my hard to please hubby. I experienced the best Yosemite had to offer and learned so much, while also being entertained. I will not do another trip without this app! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Great application *2020-07-18, version 3.0.1* Must have that application when you going to National Park for first time, please make one for sequoia and kings Canyon NP, with out guide is shutting in dark. ### 5/5 — Fabulous app! *2020-06-16* We have purchased this for seven different parks and it is awesome! Bryce & Zion, Yellowstone & Grand Tetons, Rocky Mtn, 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!! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Must have app *2019-10-26, version 3.0.1* We have used Gypsy Guide in other parks before Yosemite. Didn’t disappoint. This guide is easy to use, has so much info!! It stayed with us no matter where we were in the park and allows visitors to really enjoy Yosemite without worries of missing something or getting lost. INVALUABLE! ### 5/5 — Ended up having a friend in the car *2019-09-19* Researching, I ran across the Gypsy Guide for Yosemite National Park. For $5+ what’s to loose. We were so pleased at the points he pointed out that we would have missed. Also he helps navigate at turns and major routes. After Yosemite we went to the hotel and downloaded the Big Sur tour, just as informative plus 7 have to ding dongs, so you don’t miss out. This tour was $9+, but worth it.
