Best trip EverGyPSy Guide is the most awesome “travel companion” we have ever had! Maps are ok for planning a trip or for looking back on them for memories, but GyPSy Guide is right there in the car with you explaining to you what you are looking at. He helps you decide which side trips to take by describing the level of difficulty and what you will see. He tells about upcoming pull-offs so you never miss an opportunity for a great picture. We were in southern Utah and knew nothing about the national parks except that there were a few there. We did Canyonlands and would surely have missed the highlight of our day, Mesa Arch, had he not convinced us to take the short hike. There were so many beautiful places to see that we would have missed had we not had our GyPSy Guide! The next day, we went to Arches, and it was incredible! It can be overwhelming trying to hurry up and find what the map says you are approaching, but not with him. He tells you exactly when you get to them and the best photo angles. Arches was my favorite, and we even retracked to see some areas twice!! He knew exactly where we were and continued teaching us about the wonders we were viewing. We decided to visit Capitol Reef the next day since we were nearby. I must admit, I wasn’t overly excited because I knew nothing about it. But thanks to GyPSy Guide, some of our best pictures and memories of our trip came from there. He definitely gets the credit for that! We are going to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons in June, and then Zion and Bryce’s this fall. There is no doubt that our GyPSy Guide will be right alongside us in the car!!.TheMearsVersion: 1.4.1

Arches & Canyonland NPWe recently took along the Gypsy audio trip thru both of these parks. We downloaded prior to our visit. There was no cell service or internet at the park. The narrator was always with us. A map was included to follow along, but we chose only to listen to the narrator. We just activated the audio as we came close to the park. The narrator started to tell us about the park, the history and made suggestions for photo op’s. The narrator told us when the pull off’s were coming up and what to expect. This audio trip made our adventure much more exciting. We didn’t miss a thing at the parks. If we chose not to stop, the narrator just knew and continued on the trip. I can’t say enough about these trips. We have used them before in Glasier and Yellowstone. We are presently working on Bryce and Zion. Most of all, my husband found the narrator quite amusing, not annoying. After all, he is with you quite awhile along the trip. We made sure our iPad was being charged as we drove and left it on all day. The narrator would come on and off as we approached areas of interest. We definately recommend and will continue to use when we travel to other areas. Just downloaded Grand Canyon. Gypsy, keep up the good work. Well appreciated..DCB-NewYorkVersion: 1.0.2

Hana in HawaiiFirst I want to say that we started out early in the morning hoping to beat the crowd. Although we thought most of the tour guidance on the app was good, all of the “have to” locations that the app suggested were completely full when we approached them. We later found that there were some other obtainable waterfalls that we not crowded that were not mentioned. So we ended up driving for hours and only stopped at 2 tourist stands to get banana bread and a treat. Ugggg, it was a really long day of just driving. I wish we had had a “heads up” that all the sights would be full and we would have cut our trip short. Also learning on the app the day of the trip that we needed tickets to the park 24 hours ahead of time was not helpful information. Last but not least, the history of the rulers was repetitive and was not what we wanted to listen to the whole way down the mountain. We thought the guide was giving directions to get down but instead gave an account of the rulers. Although I think this app is a great idea and had some great info going up, it missed some opportunities to see some sites that our guide book had mentioned. On the morning of we chose to forgo the guidebook info and solely use this app. We would use the guidebook next time. As I shared before, without opportunities to park and explore because of the crowdedness, we ended up with a very long day of driving..FuntimesatthebeachVersion: 1.4.0

Great guide for Hawaii!!I used this guide in Oahu and The Big Island, and it was excellent! It has very accurate directions as you are driving, and definitely gives you lots of information about Hawaii, the culture, and the places you may visit or wish to visit as you drive along. The voice is actually very easy to listen to, and we chose this app over Shaka app, as we found the voice easier to listen to in this app. It comes on easily. It automatically starts talking through your radio when attached to your CarPlay and shuts off when it is finished. So you can listen to music in the meantime, or just turn the radio off. Sometimes it repeats when you go through a place more than once, but there are usually different stories when you go to a place and when you come back on the same road. The GPS was also excellent, and worked better than the Waze we were using to drive! This was able to guide us when Waze was unable to locate where we were. We travel all around the Big Island, and had a great tour just listening to it and stopping at different locations. Even the kids got a kick out of it! The price is good as well. Highly recommended for Hawaii! I haven’t used it anywhere else yet..Hikaru fanVersion: 2.3.1

Great tour but timing is off!Took the classic road to Hana tour a couple days ago and we really enjoyed the narrator’s stories and history of Hawaii. The one gripe I had is that there is no way you could do all of his suggested stops with the suggested time limits and still make it to the seven pools and back before sundown! We left at 8 am and only took two of the non must-do turn offs and were careful about not spending too much time at our stops. The narrator gave timing updates throughout the trip and we lined up with what he described as “making good time”. We even skipped the black sand beach on the way there (had a 3-6 pm reservation). We also tended to drive well above the speed limit, more on par with what the locals were driving at as we felt comfortable around the sharp turns and narrow roads. We made it to the seven pools by 3. Done with the hikes (we were basically trail running) in an hour and a half or so. Got to the black sand beach at 5:55 and were denied entry. Sundown was 6:45 so we were driving in pitch black on the way back which was.. harrowing to say the least! Again, it’s a great app for the most part but the suggested times spent at each of the places are definitely off. You need to be very quick at your stops or even skip some of the must-dos to be out and back before sundown!.KA22223Version: 2.3.0

Blue Ridge Parkway Narrated Self-TourWe purchased this tour for use on our iPhone during Blue Ridge Parkway drives out of Asheville and Roanoke. It was easily worth the cost. The tour was easy to set up and automatically linked the entertaining, informative narration with the position of our car as we drove up and down the parkway. We learned lot from that tour - a prime example being the story of “The Bedford Boys”: it inspired us to drop off the parkway for a couple of hours to the town of Bedford to then experience the excellent National D-Day Memorial. One issue: the narrator stated negative views about the parkway restaurant at Mount Mitchell, but we found that same restaurant to be clean, efficiently run, and offering an attractive menu. Could the creators of the narration take a second look at what seems to be a poor fit between the comments offered and the actualities we experienced? We used this narrated tour for about 250 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway in both North Carolina and Virginia. It was an excellent accessory to our travels and was easy to use. If you are going to drive the parkway, why not move up a notch of greater enjoyment and knowledge by using this narration resource? We found it made our Blue Ridge drives much more memorable than the drive-only experience..IoiohioVersion: 2.3.1

Best travel guide app there is!Just came back from visiting Yosemite, King’s Canyon and Sequoia National Parks and used Guide Along for all three. What a difference it made to our trip. We are planners and this app exceeded our highest expectations. Easy to use - just download the guide and each item/story is activated as you reach GPS points on the route. It even bases the stories and items shared oh which direction you are headed so you hear all new items as you drive on your return route. We learned so much more and had a greater appreciation for what we were seeing and experiencing because of this app. Lessons on history, geology, biology, zoology and fun stories were fantastic. Even better, the narrater told us “must do” stops, pullover recommendations to do or skip, seasonal and crowd tips, parking and shuttle tips, and pointed out great spots we would have completely missed even though we had researched before. The guide was worth every penny and brought so much more meaning to the trip. Plus, the guide’s voice and approach was terrific - just like having your own private guide. Can’t imagine doing another national park trip without it. Yes, I’m gushing and this is not a paid review. Just love the app that much and I know you will too..The Original TigerwolfVersion: 2.3.1

I’d give you 10 Stars!In Maui. Wanted to do the Road to Hanna. Heard bad things about van rides, bus rides, motion sickness, “trapped” feelings. Decided to rent a car and give it a go. Facebook group for Pride of America (NCL) cruise postings about GuideAlong were very promising. Comparing costs of tour excursions against car rental, gas and the app I was way ahead. The big surprise was just how very cool this app is. Even better with Apple CarPlay on the car. We set out and out of the blue this friendly guy starts telling us all about the journey we are on. He knows just where we are every minute and gives spot on advice about what to do and what not to do. I swear it’s like I’m sitting next to the local tourism expert. His sense of humor was appreciated, lightening the mood. What I’m amazed at is, though many times I was without any cell service, he kept right on telling me what to look for, recommending food stops, the best sights to see and those to avoid. He warned me of dangerous turns and road conditions. Then, on the way back, he gave us an entire history of Hawaii. Fascinating. We have decided to plan our next outing through the Catskills just to hook into the GuideAlong for that route. Now…if only he could take over the driving..BMorkavichVersion: 2.3.1

Great companion for a road trip!We used this app for the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park. It was fantastic! It was like having a personal docent in the car with you. It was very informative and entertaining and is suitable for both kids and adults. We had planned our trip in advance and the sites we wanted to see, but the suggestions during the trip that GuideAlong provided added nearly twice the number of spots that we stopped. As a christian, the only thing I didn’t agree with, in some of the information, is about evolution. However, I am confident enough in my faith that I can just ignore those portions of the tour. If you have children, use it as a tool to help refute what people say about evolution and teach them about how things were really created. But other than that, I highly recommend this app. We enjoyed it so much that we now want to go to Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite since we live only an hour from each one of those parks but are curious to see what we’ve been missing all these years! And just one suggestion: many people like to stop and take a picture with the national park sign as they are entering. It would be helpful to point that location out on the tour..Kendall WheelerVersion: 2.3.4

You need this app!We just got back from Maui and if you don’t get this app and keep it open while driving around you’re missing out on a huge part of your trip. First off, the narrator’s voice is so pleasant and soothing that anything he says sounds great. You look forward to him just talking about anything just to keep listening to him talk. The points of interest and tips for parking or other things were fabulous. It is so accurate you’d think he was in the car with you. He says look for a sign and you then see it. The stories of the history of Hawaii were great. I’ve been to Hawaii 6 times but now I have a really good idea of the history from the whaling days to now. How it became a state was also eye opening. Really interesting and easy to listen to and hearing it while driving was great. Road to Hana guided audio us a must. You can’t do it by following a book, sorry Maui Revealed, and I had that with me too. Best money you’ll spend on a driving audio guide. No joke. Just leave app open as you drive around audio will chime in every now and then. It changes a boring drive to a really amazing tour. I’m sure all the drives are great. We did Maui and it was amazing. Enjoy..Leftyboy65Version: 1.1.0

The best audio narrated GPS based touring App availableWe first found the Yellowstone and Grand Teton tour the night before we were arriving in Yellowstone for a Yellowstone paid guided tour we had already paid for through the park. We had a miserable time on a crowded bus with a horrible commentator and a child that asked a bunch of questions so thankfully I had already downloaded the app and the Yellowstone Tour. We spent the next day basically redoing our tour using the app and it was hands down 100 better than what we paid a ridiculous amount for the paid tour in Yellowstone. Since that day, we have used several of the GuideAlong tours for Hawaii( all of them), Rocky Mountain National Park, Vermont Scenic Route 100 Byway Scenic tour of the covered bridges in Vermont, Mesa Verde National Park, Glacier National Park, Great Smoky Mountains, Sedona, Grand Canyon, and have more downloaded that are ready to use. I have reused the Hawaii, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Glacier National Park and they worked again all flawlessly. The knowledge, the hidden gems you will discover along the way, and the advice given is better than any paid tour guide and you get to do it in the privacy of your own car. It’s your own private tour guide!.TX TumbleweedsVersion: 2.3.1

Thank You Guide AlongWe just used Guide Along for a trip through the Black Hills and Glacier National Park. I’d been to both before but it was the first time for my wife. I had no idea what I’d missed on my last trips until we used Guide Along on this adventure. We missed nothing because Guide Along kept us aware of all of the key opportunities to enjoy the locations we were in. We were prepared to stop in the right places to get the best impressions, views, and history of what we were seeing. We’ll never travel again without Guide Along. It made our trip easy and always relevant to the location and history of the area. In between Guide Along provides relevant commentary on the history of the area. Whether you are retirees, like ourselves, or a family traveling with kids (of any age), Guide Along makes the experience more worthwhile and complete than it could ever be from just pre-trip research (we do both). The app gets five stars for making our trip the best road trip ever. We learned of this app from out son (a family of four) whose kids named Guide Along “Taco Bob”. We always turn on Taco Bob when we are in his area of dialogue. Highly recommended!.Clancy8080Version: 2.3.1

Always so much great info!I’ve brought Dave (the voice of GuideAlong/GyPSy) along on a couple trips now and won’t do a road trip without him if I can help it. On the Road to Hana (which includes other parts of Maui also) he not only told us all the places to stop, where to park and the amazing history behind all of it, but also what to do or not do to be respectful of the locals and their culture. I love this because I really prefer to not be an a*hole tourist. We are just retuning from a road trip through Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and found that Dave knew more than the the local guides. Since he has a script, he’s not relying on memory and we get all the info instead of bits and pieces. And there’s so much info!! I loved all of it. I didn’t think my husband would want someone talking at him during the drive, but he appreciated it and didn’t mind when we got the same spiel going different directions on the same road (though you can skip it if you want). Plus, Dave has a sense of humor and a personality, which is nice. I’m definitely bringing Dave along when I go to Acadia later this year and all future trips. He knows it all without being obnoxious..NW PhooshVersion: 2.0.9

You will be sooo glad you did!We had planned where to go for our 30 year anniversary, but really had no idea what all the “must sees” would be. We felt so lucky to find this app. It was wonderful. The narrator (who we named T.G. for tour guide😜) was very personable and witty and anything but annoying. His voice was pleasant and the knowledge he provided was invaluable. We would have missed so many things on this trip had we not used it. We used the guide for the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and the one for our travel into South Dakota for the Black Hills, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore and the Badlands. We had dreamed about this trip and wanted to experience “all the things”. The tour guide provided so much insight and made the trip so fun. He comes on automatically when you get on route (doesn’t matter from which direction you start) and makes it very smooth. We told some other couples in our hotel about it and they used it and were delighted! They said it saved them $1,000 on actual tour guides, let them be on their own schedule, paid $9.99 for the app and loved it. Gypsy Guides has trips for several places, so go check it out! You’ll be sooo glad you did..NWArkiesVersion: 1.0.2

Fantastic guide for the Road to Hana!I can’t speak for the other guided tours that are on the app as I haven’t done them yet but I can say for the Road to Hana tour, my wife and I absolutely loved this app. I was extremely stressed about making this drive after hearing how many one lane roads and bridges there were, but the guide does a fantastic job of perfectly explaining the conditions of the road to you as well as telling you exactly when to turn off the road for the different stops! A word of warning though, definitely drive the speed limit because the guide has spaced out the narration perfectly for the timing of the road, and if you’re going too fast you might miss some of the turns like I did. Overall, between the driving directions and the amazing history lesson on the way back, this app definitely helped make the Road to Hana an extremely enjoyable and memorable experience for my wife and I. I will be using this in the future when we return, as well as recommending this to anyone who might drive the RTH. TLDR: Super amazing app, excellent narration and direction, also the guide’s voice is pleasant to listen to as well!.MartyZzz2024Version: 2.3.1

4000 miles and countingWe downloaded Gypsy Guide when we went to Hawaii the 3rd time. So when we headed out on our western United States tour we downloaded the western bundle. We have done the northern half and now we are starting the southern portion. It is so easy and convenient. We looked into doing a Grand Canyon southern rim only to find out the cost us over $250 pp. the app starts right at our campground. It is a no brainer. The things you learn on the Gypsy guide (now called Guide Along) is priceless. I tell everyone to get it. While in South Dakota I recommend it to a home school mom traveling through and she immediately downloaded it and said it was the best history class she purchased. I wish they had more places. We RV across the country and really wish they had more - the History alone is worth it. While in the Smokey Mountains the park ranger said we would not be able to use ANY guide as there was no reception. I told her Guide Along was GPS but she was adamant it would not work. It worked wonderfully with more information than the pamphlet the ranger insisted I take. We are now doing the 5 national parks in Utah. So stoked!!!.Dr. Bobbi GVersion: 2.3.0

Don’t know how we would have done Road to Hana without it...First trip to Maui for my daughter’s 25th birthday. We heard horror stories about driving the Road to Hana. I was overwhelmed trying to figure out the sights and Mile marker numbers on a map and realized there would be no cell service on our trip. I read about this app online and was skeptical, but figured I could use all the help I could get. Reading review after review to “just get it” I purchased the full Maui tour. All I can say is JUST GET IT—don’t hesitate or think twice—this made driving the Road to Hana a breeze!! I literally pressed the “start driving” button and our narrator (we called him Joe) talked us through the entire trip! Suggesting when to get gas, food, which stops were coming up, which were worth it and which to skip. I honestly could not recommend it more highly!! We saw everything we wanted and more without having to fumble, turn around, get lost—it was literally a life saver. I enjoyed all the narrations and learned a lot about Maui. While driving, “Joe” was THE perfect co-pilot! Just get it!! You will not regret it! HIGHLY recommend!!.SunsetsallyVersion: 1.2.5

Don’t drive to the keys without it!My husband and I just took a roadtrip from Miami to Key West for our honeymoon. I saw something online about the GuideAlong audio tour, but when I mentioned it, my husband thought it sounded silly. Luckily, I chose to get it anyway. I didn’t tell him how much I paid for it because I knew he would scoff. He was willing to listen after I got it though. Now, he is the one asking me to write a review because he can’t stop talking about how great it was. We would have missed virtually everything on our trip without the GuideAlong tour. We made several stops along the way based on suggestions from the tour, and we loved them all. It was also really interesting to learn about the history of the keys and the unique landmarks that we were passing. It does an amazing job at giving you directions and then continuing on with detailed instructions if you decide to stop at one of the recommended places. I wish there were more of these because I would get one for every road trip I take going forward if I could. Can’t recommend it enough!.Brooklyn.c.MathewsVersion: 2.3.4

Loved this app with one exceptionReally appreciated this app and recommend it to anyone who is exploring Yellowstone National Park! My husband and I really enjoyed the narration (we even had a nickname for the narrator and talked about him like he was the 3rd member of our party!), the recommended stops along the way made it a truly memorable trip and at points where there was no service, we would have been lost without it! This app was so great, I would have given it 5 starts BUT…I am so disappointed that the narration included little to absolutely nothing about the indigenous people who live(d) on the land that is now Yellowstone National Park. The narrator mentions people living here “before white/Europeans came…” but then nothing more on them?!?! Come on! Plenty was mentioned about the different wild life in the park, the explorers and US presidents who played a role in the foundation of the park (which I appreciated no doubt) but nothing about the true and original stewards of the gorgeous, breath taking land we were driving through? So disappointing. I hope the app’s content creators step their game up and do some legit research to include the history of more than just white men..Adidas921Version: 2.3.0

A wonderful companion!My family and I were road tripping through Arizona and decided to make a day of the Grand Canyon. I stumbled across this guided tour on Google and decided to spend the $12, because why not! I had done no preparation, and I was fairly sure we weren’t going to hike down this trip. We just needed some guidance to do a quick trip to the best scenic places. Well, thanks to GuideAlong’s EXCELLENT directions and suggestions, we happily spent nearly 6 hours at the Grand Canyon. What we enjoyed most were the back stories of each place - the timeline, the history, the geography, the people, the drama! Real life is so much better than fiction. All of it delivered by a narrator with a rich warm voice and just enough of a sense of humor. And I loved that there were vignettes from the time we left Williams and even after we left the Grand Canyon and headed back towards Flagstaff. It felt like the narrator was a super knowledgeable passenger riding along with us. I only wish that we knew his name! GuideAlong made our trip really fabulous. Even our cranky teenager was into it..Doctah GVersion: 2.2.2

Fantastic, Knowledgeable and EducationalWhat a great find! We start our retirement trip west in May of 2021 and return home in September of 2021. Our plan was to visit the National Park west of the Rocky Mountain National Park. We had never took a road trip west and a family member told to check out the GyPSy App. We decided to purchase the Rocky Mountain trip. We were so Wowed we purchased many of the tours. However for some reason we didn’t purchase the Arches National Park tour. By the end of the day we were so overwhelmed and exhausted. It hindsight we were like kids in a toy store running around taking pictures and missing the details. From that on point the GyPSy guide was downloaded and ready to play though our truck radio. We saw and heard about gems we never would have known about. In October we decided to revisit Smoking Mountains National Park first thing we did was down loaded GyPSy guide. We saw and learned so much more this time at the park thank you GyPSy guide! Covid restrictions dampened our trip west but the GyPSy guide truly a created experience that we will never forget! Thank you, Katie and Brian Rumpilla.Happyseller13Version: 1.3.4

Worth every cent!!I first used this app while on a family trip to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier. It was so good I’ve purchased the tour for every place available since. It used to be the GyPSy App and the narrator is the same. My most recent trip to the Sierra Nevadas we used the Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and Sequoia and Kings Canyon tours. My 10 year old knocked the socks off the Yosemite ranger when she explained how the granite formations were formed based on what she learned from the tour during the car ride. My 10 and 13 year old daughters love listening to the tours too. (This is saying a lot because my 13 year old is too cool for everything.) After the Lake Tahoe tour, my 13 year old was excited to learn that there was another tour for our visit to Yosemite. The narration is a good balance of history, science, and pop culture while providing driving directions, worthwhile/prioritized hikes, views, and other destinations. You will get so much more out of your trip if you use these tours. I highly, highly recommend this app for your travel excursions particularly to the national Parks..EveerobVersion: 2.3.1

5 Stars Ain’t EnoughGypsy Guide Road to Hana was AMAZING! It was foolproof. All you have to do is download it. (Make sure you do it in advance while you have internet.). And then start it up when you begin driving that day. Your guide pops in as you approach the beginning of your journey automatically and then talks every time you need him. He opens with tips, tricks and instructions on how the audio guide works and then continues to guide you thoughtfully throughout your entire trip. On a road that has a reputation for scaring the bejeezus out of many people, it felt like we had an actual guide right in the car with us telling us where to turn and what not to miss. It was a real confidence booster and despite many hairy turns, I really wasn’t scared. My new friend was with me and he knew exactly what to do and where to go. The trip never would have been as fulfilling (and educational too!) without it. I would use Gypsy Guide again and again. After spending 13 hours together today, and relying on him so much, is it weird that I miss him now?._tinabinabobina_Version: 1.6.1

Must haveI don’t ever purchase these types of products because I figure I can look at a map and figure things out myself. And while that may be true, this app is 100% worth the money. I decided to purchase after seeing hundreds of people in the Yellowstone Facebook group say it is a must have. And they are not wrong. We purchased the “Northern National Park Loop” package. So far we have used Grand Teton and Yellowstone tours. The guide (who we’ve named Dave lol) tells us all of the spots that are absolute musts and some spots that are okay to pass up if we’re short on time. That is so helpful to us. It has been time saving. He tells us where to stop for iconic pictures, what animals to be searching for in what areas, etc. It’s truly like having you own personal tour guide in the car with you telling you all the things you would have never known if he wasn’t there. We’ve had the best trip and have seen amazing things we otherwise wouldn’t have without his advice. This app is an absolute must have. You won’t regret purchasing..AlyssaTNVersion: 2.3.1

Can’t recommend this highly enough. Only one complaint.We just drove Shenandoah Skyline, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park (which come in a bundle) and wow, were we delighted! The only problem is, we’ve been to so many national parks without this app, now we feel like we need to go revisit them with the app! 😂 The stories and commentary are very interesting, plus it helps prioritize where to spend your time since it’s always challenging because you never have enough time to see everything. I have one serious beef with the app though. I cannot find a way to keep the map oriented north up. It’s not a problem when following along a simple route, but when trying to figure out where to rejoin after a detour, or just planning the day, it keeps rotating the orientation; so when you zoom in to see details, all of a sudden it rotates and you don’t know which way is which. I had given it 5 stars, but knocked it down one because that is so frustrating. It’s been particularly frustrating in New River Gorge, where we are spending multiple days and there are loops, etc..RGEarleyVersion: 2.3.4

Arches and Canyonlands NPThis was our first purchase, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. So glad we did it. As we drove, the narrator, guided us through the parks with just enough information to remind us of upcoming turn off’s, and sometimes alert us to little known spots we could visit. It was not a constant ramble, but just as if they were in the car with us and making observations as we drove. Also, giving the background of how formations got their name and historical context, as well as some geology lessons. The suggestions as we drove for either short hikes or long hikes was excellent. Especially as the day wore on and we wore out! Knowing that we could go to a viewpoint to see delicate arch, or take the hike, which would take approximately two hours was great to know and helped make our decision. As we travel around the country, I will always be looking to see if Gypsy Guide has a tour of the area we are going through. We drove from Arizona to Arches NP and as we went through Monument Valley on our way I did wish there was a Gypsyguide in that area..Qa8610814Version: 1.6.2

OUR BEST COMPANION ON A ROAD TRIPI bought this tour when I decided to go to Yosemite last year, and I’m so happy that I did, this is NOT your normal tour where you just get some information about the attractions and the hot spots but it’s much more. This is a great tour where it will tell you your options for the turns to make ahead of time so you can change your lanes while you can safely. It will tell you ahead of time of where you’re heading if you keep straight or take a turn. It will talk about the geology, the history and fun facts about the places you’re visiting. It works seamlessly with Bluetooth or Apple car play while your music is on. If you’re driving faster than the speed limit and you passed the point on the map it will just catch up with you by skipping that point and talk about the coming one UNLIKE the other tours where they just get hung up and confused. I LOVE this tour guide I just finished the Las Vegas tour which was great and I bought many of the tours that this company is offering for my upcoming road trips..Vaseel SGVersion: 1.6.4

A great find!Made the mistake of purchasing through Viator and TripAdvisor initially (where I found out about it), and couldn’t access my purchase. After buying directly through the app, it was easy and great! So glad I found this app, my whole family loved the helpful descriptions that give a heads up on points of interest and where not to miss a turn or turn off to catch them! A lot of the stories, history, background on our route were pretty interesting. All in all, a very worthwhile purchase that I would recommend! Just wish the map parts for our real time driving routes were better. When you zoom in, the too tiny print details disappear. Highways and road names on the tour route aren’t labeled. I had to keep comparing with different maps and guessing where we might need to go compared to the app’s pictured route, and even took a snapshot so I could enlarge the print on their map picture as a photo on my phone. (The route descriptions are helpful to a certain point, but not detailed enough to figure out some of the driving route specifics.).EmiCubedVersion: 1.5.2

Great touring app, but needs one tweakWe purchased the app for the road to Hana in Maui. It was really quite wonderful to hear the guide, with a great DJ voice, explain to us where we need to go and what to do. The guide is synced with the phone’s GPS, so it even says things like “take the next curve to the left, and then you’ll see the entrance sign on the right. Park in the first available space.“ We haven’t been able to compare this with similar guides, so I don’t know if the “must see” attractions on this app are the same as what other apps and guide books or travel websites might say. The single biggest issue is that between the commentary, the app picks random audio tracks from my phone. This resulted in a very weird journey, including an hour and a half long boring lecture I had downloaded several years ago, and there was no way that I could find to skip the track or to identify a tracklist or at least musical genre to use as background music. In my opinion, this feature desperately needs to be fixed..GilbroVersion: 1.6.3

Informative but unrealisticWe liked learning about the history of Hawaii and the stops on the Road to Hana, but were disappointed with the fact that all the “must see” stops were given the same weight, and other stops were not sufficiently explained in terms of whether there was a fee for entry or whether a future stop would sufficiently cover the material from a prior stop (for example, neither Twin Falls nor The Garden of Eden were worth the cost). Oheo Gulch and Wai’anapapana State Park were both incredible and I wish there were an option that recommended going there first and spending a significant chunk of the day there. Essentially we should have done more of our own research but instead relied on Gypsy Guide and it was not sufficient to produce the experience we were seeking. Also, the timetable seems unrealistic — we were in Paia by 7am and still didn’t get back to Paia until 7pm, even skipping most stops. I don’t understand how Gypsy recommends all the stops it does and still expects people to turn around by 4:30pm. We liked the information we received but it just didn’t seem enough to make informed decisions about our journey..AjawetzVersion: 1.5.3

Unforgettable Experience – The Perfect Road Trip CompanionWe just completed the GuideAlong Smoky Mountain self-guided audio tour, and WOW — what an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, this tour completely transformed our trip. The guide’s voice was clear, engaging, and absolutely hilarious! It felt like we had our own personal park ranger/comedian in the car with us the whole way. The narration was the perfect mix of history, fun facts, and quirky stories — we learned so much about the Smokies while laughing the entire time. The timing of the commentary was spot-on, giving us guidance exactly when we needed it, and the suggestions for stops, hikes, and photo ops were beyond helpful. We ended up seeing places we would’ve totally missed on our own! This is hands-down the best way to explore the Great Smoky Mountains at your own pace. Whether you're a first-timer or a returning visitor, GuideAlong takes the experience to the next level. Can't recommend it enough — this tour is a MUST if you're heading to the Smokies!.JessrwilcoxVersion: 2.3.3

Great navigation systemWe really enjoyed this app and the way that they help you navigate the details of Road to Hana. “Frank” (as we’ve decided to name the voice) did good with highlights, what to miss, where to make sure to stop and even basic directions or “watch out for this turn”. We really enjoyed the Hawaiian history lesson on the return journey. My only feedback is to provide some of the logistics on the app prior to leaving. (Start at this location at X time - which was said, these stops will take X minutes, here’s when to turn around if you don’t like to drive in the dark. Frank said all of this, but when we were on the journey. For us OCD Planners, I would have liked to read this once I purchased the content. I have no idea how anyone is supposed to hit all of the stops in any kind of decent timing. That’s not a GuideAlong issue, but maybe they could provide better guidance on “Route A is 6 hours” and “Route B is 10 hours” and people can choose? Just an idea..DtsommerVersion: 2.2.2

Great App for driving anywhere especially Maui!I purchased the full Maui experience app after recommendation from a friend. We used it not only for our Road To Hana trip, but for our regular drives throughout Maui including Haleakala and Iao Valley. The narrator was very easy to listen to and so interesting that our kids actually enjoyed it. He kind of sounded like Tom Selleck. Every time we got back in the car, they would ask did you turn on the app. We loved the stories about the history of Hawaii, especially on the drive back from Hana. We had a great experience with our drive to Hana unlike some others. We lucked out with our stops starting out really early in order to get to our reservation at Waianapana Park. None of our stops were very crowded-the only issue was many places early on were closed since we did start so early. I will be using this app now for other trips to National Parks around the US or any major cities this app is available for. It was well worth the $20!!.Mitch BehrVersion: 2.0.7

Another great experience with Gypsy GuideI first used this app when traveling through Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon and loved it. When I was going to Hawaii this year, I made sure to get it for the Big Island. At first, my 21-year-old daughter wasn’t sure about using the app, probably thinking it would only be interesting to those in the middle age bracket. After a few days, she admitted she enjoyed the app & made sure it was turned on when we went for a drive. This app told us about the Hawaiian culture, landscape and areas of interest that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. I’ll definitely use this app again when I travel. We weren’t sure what the guy’s name was who narrates the app. He has a calm steady voice so I called him Bob (after Bob Newhart). My daughter didn’t know who this was so she called him Fred. His voice becomes so familiar it’s like having him on the trip. I’ll have to look up his real name next time I use the app. Thanks Bob or Fred or whoever you are for making our trip more enjoyable!.Lolathegr8Version: 1.2.5

A Surprisingly Wonderful Way to Experience the Grand Tetons5/5 ★★★★★ I’ll admit I was skeptical at first. The idea of a GPS-guided audio tour felt a little gimmicky before we set out, but within the first few minutes any doubt I had completely evaporated. The narrator’s voice blended naturally into the rhythm of the drive, it never felt intrusive or out of place, and the whole family quickly settled into just listening and looking out the window. What won me over was the quality and depth of the content. The tour strikes a great balance between history and geology, giving you just enough context to genuinely appreciate what you’re seeing without turning it into a lecture. My kids were engaged, and so were the adults — that’s not an easy thing to pull off. The real hidden gem of this tour, though, is how it handles the pull-outs and viewpoints. Rather than treating every stop as equally essential, the narration was refreshingly honest about which ones are truly unmissable and which ones you can skip if you’re short on time. As a family juggling schedules and attention spans, that kind of practical guidance was invaluable. We made every minute count without ever feeling rushed or like we’d missed something important. If you’re heading to the Grand Tetons with family and want to get the most out of your drive, this tour is absolutely worth it. What started as a hesitant experiment turned into one of the highlights of our trip. Feel free to trim or adjust the tone for wherever you’re posting it!.The RevClarenceVersion: 2.3.4

Incredible guide YellowstoneI don’t often review but when something is this helpful, I felt compelled. GF and I booked a trip to Yellowstone, a bucket list place for both that neither of us ever visited. Flying a bit blind and slightly overwhelmed, I bumped into this app being advertised in a tourist magazine. I downloaded the app and bought Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. I can’t say enough how helpful it was to know where to go and what to do. The descriptions, stories, history, directions were no less than fantastic. It all played seamlessly through the car radio with spot on GPS precision based on our location in either park. I know this sounds like a planted review, but I am not affiliated in any way with the creator. It was just that good. I also bought Beartooth Highway to go back to Red Lodge/Billings and that was good too, though since it was the opening weekend for that road, we could not get into the suggested stop areas due to snow. Highly recommend for self guided touring..JayD65Version: 2.3.3

Mostly ExcellentI have purchased the Yellowstone/Grand Teton NP tour, the Big Island tour and the Glacier NP Going to the Sun tour. YNP/GTNP was excellent and I have used it over multiple trips through the parks. The Big Island was good, but suffered from long stretches of no information as we traversed the middle of the island. We just returned from Glacier NP and the GyPSy tour for this was lacking. Interestingly, it doesn't even seem to be offered as an in-app purchase anymore. I hope it has been pulled in order to address several shortcomings. First, the Going-to-the-Sun Road is not opening in 2022 until July 13, and often doesn’t open until the end of June and can close in early October. Since this tour is entirely about that particular road, only about half of the waypoints that trigger the narrator were played as we drove. And the emphasis on the information provided was way too engineering-oriented. Sure it’s interesting, but most of us visiting are not there to see engineering feats, but to understand better the local geology, flora and fauna, and history. Compared to the Yellowstone/GTNP tour, this absence was significant and disappointing. And even though the Going-to-the-Sun Road is the main road in Glacier, there are other roads that would seem to merit coverage. Among them is Highway 2, which is the only way to move between the east and west sides of the park with GTTS Road closed. It is a beautiful stretch, paralleling the Flathead River and original transcontinental railroad line. Several amazing stops along the way include the Goat Lick Overlook and the historic Izaak Walton railroad inn. On the east side of the park, none of the spectacular Lake Sherburne road is covered, while on the west side, Camas Road is not covered. To sum, love the concept, mostly love the delivery, but look forward to improvements in some areas..Blue Barry’s 🫐🫐🫐Version: 1.6.0

Awesome Must-Have Travel AppWe used this app when it was GyPSy Guide for touring Yellowstone, O’ahu and Maui and it was incredible, just like have a fully knowledgeable tour guide sitting next to me telling me where to turn, what to see, what to skip and providing historical, geological and geothermal facts about the areas. The level of detail, accuracy and completeness was amazing. The app was the best money we spent on those vacations. We tell everyone that they must get the app when traveling those areas. When we planned our recent trip of the Grand Circle of National Parks in Utah and Arizona, we again turned to Guide Along (the new name for GyPSy Guide). Once again, it was incredible and so very helpful and informative. It guided us thru Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, Arches, Canyonlands and Grand Canyon National parks. There were a number of very interesting stops we would have missed were it not for the app. We would not tour any of the areas covered by Guide Along without getting and using the app. It is amazing!.Tdj2591Version: 2.3.0

Need more stars!!!I cannot praise this app enough. We decided in April to go to Yellowstone - spur of the moment. I started my research which was overwhelming and was a little worried about organizing our time in the park. I kept hearing about the GuideAlong app on the Facebook groups I was visiting. A day before we left my finger hovered above the buy button in the App Store. Thankfully I hit buy now. It was a game changer. From the moment we entered the park, the app took over and guided us to all the must see spots and many extra stops we wouldn’t have known to make. I cannot thank the developers of this app enough. It made a huge difference in the success of our trip and we plan to use it on future trips. Before we left Bozeman we were telling a newly arrived group of Yellowstone newbies about the app and ended up helping them download it. I will be posting on Facebook as well. Thank you for making our trip such a success. I truly believe your app made the difference..SSsocalVersion: 2.0.8

Great for all agesFantastic app. We were visiting the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone parks for the first time and I came across a recommendation for GuideAlong via my web research. It has been a great purchase! Well worth the price. Do you know why there are so many colors in the geothermal springs in Yellowstone? I didn’t, but I do now because this app explains things in such a way that it is easy to understand. It really brings the drive alive as you go through the park. Plus, it works even when you don’t have cell reception (but turn it on first before you lose reception in the park) which is awesome because for a large part of the drive our cell reception was zero. The narrator has great recommendations for all the little pull outs and stops along the way and we would have definitely cruised on by many places had we not had the GuideAlong app. We will be using it for all our trips to the National parks. Now, could you make one for Krueger Park in South Africa?.Shumba KlemVersion: 2.3.3

Best park experienceI downloaded this app prior to our trip to Yellowstone. It came highly recommended by multiple people on a Facebook page I was following as I planned our trip. This is well worth it!! I was overwhelmed looking at all the possibilities of the various places to see and do, but the guides voice was pleasant to listen to and he provided suggestions and area knowledge during our drive through the park. This guide made it easy to see many of the must have stops as well some of the less but highly recommended stops. When you’d stop, you’d already have some basic knowledge of what was in store which was another bonus. At times, I felt like I had a smart, knowledgeable GPS with me especially when I came to areas of either taking a left or a right. The guide provided information for both directions. The accuracy of knowing where you are in the park is amazing! Get the app and download the tour, you won’t regret it!!.AudifrostVersion: 2.3.1

Great experience in Rocky MountainsI had an absolutely fantastic experience with this guided tour through the Rocky Mountains. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well‑organized, and incredibly enjoyable. One of the standout features was the excellent GPS guidance. The directions were precise, perfectly timed, and incredibly easy to follow — no confusion, no missed turns, and no backtracking. It felt like having a knowledgeable local guide sitting right next to me, pointing out exactly where to go and what to look for. The route was thoughtfully planned, making the entire journey stress‑free and enjoyable. The tour covered all the major highlights of the Rocky Mountains, including scenic overlooks, wildlife‑rich areas, and iconic viewpoints. Each stop was well‑chosen and offered something unique — from breathtaking mountain vistas to peaceful lakes and forested trails. The commentary along the way added so much value, sharing history, geology, and fun facts that made every stop more meaningful..Arun KandaswamyVersion: 2.3.4

GuideAlong made our trips so much betterWe purchased GuideAlong in May 2024 for our trip through Yellowstone. During that trip we did the south loop and learned so much. GuideAlong is having a professional guide with you in your vehicle. We did not miss any “must see” destinations, and found walks and hikes that we may never have taken because the information shared was so awesome. We are currently in Montana (Sept 2024) and we did the North Loop of Yellowstone yesterday along with the Beartooth highway - both supported by our GuideAlong app. Headed to Glacier tomorrow and will take our “buddy” with us for the Going to the Sun Road and other self guided insights. Truly - if you want to travel at your own pace and have a professional that provides information, humor and amazing advice during your trip this is for you. The price of the app was such a great value vs paying for a guided tour. True travel independence with the benefit of exceptional insights and information..Vagablond1227Version: 2.3.1

Absolute must have!I was skeptical buying a guided app if it would be worth my money or if I would even use it much but let me say OMG I have absolutely LOVED the guide along for Grand Teton and Yellowstone! I got the guide for our family trip which we did some planning but this guide made it all so much easier. The guy speaking has a great voice, does a great job guiding us along the way. We went to so many places we wouldn't have done if not for the guide. Many things we didn't even know about but he told us all along the way what he considered best and time it takes to do the loops n hikes. He gives just enough information and story telling to keep it interesting and fun. I would absolutely buy this guide again. It was wonderful and we seen so much more then we would have without it. Also service is terrible in Yellowstone so you can't depend on google maps to guide you but since the guide works on gps we never lost our way or map..ScoobetcVersion: 2.3.1

So informative and makes navigating easyI purchased the Black Hills/Rushmore/Badlands/Spearfish Loop tour package after a recommendation from a friend. When my teens heard I had purchased an audio tour, they laughed at me, but, after just the first tour, they were converts! We enjoyed the interesting facts and stories. As someone who had never been to this area before, following the included tour routes was a huge blessing as we saw the main highlights but also were pointed to some lesser known spots (like the spot where they filmed the final scene of Dances with Wolves and the historic fish hatchery, which is way cooler than it sounds). The tour gives very clear directions which was another huge blessing as the driver got to enjoy the tour as well without trying to figure out how to get to the next spot. Definitely follow the guide’s recommendation of which direction to drive to Mount Rushmore through Custer State Park for it makes for an amazing drive. I highly recommend GyPSy Guide, as do my teens..46statesandcountingVersion: 1.2.4

Best Available Audio TourWe’ve been listening to GuideAlong for years! I’ve tried other audio tours, but nothing seems to compare. We’ve affectionately named our guy, Gary. Our 8-year-old has gotten to the point where whenever the audio of our music fades down (in preparation for Gary to share some illuminating information or directions), he says, “What ya got for us, Gary?” We’ve used Gary on every Hawaiian Island, the Black Hills, Calgary to Banff and the Canadian Rockies, Glacier NP, and we were chuffed when Gary provided a tour for the scenic north shore of Lake Superior starting in our home city! This summer, we’ll be listening to Gary during our roadtrip in Iceland. And, there’s no question we’ll have him along for other roadtrips in the future. GuideAlong provides turn-by-turn directions to the best scenic views and destinations, including some that many tourists aren’t even aware of. The historical facts will educate you, the humor will amuse you, the insider information will show you all the best an area has to offer like having a local riding shotgun the whole time. We usually plug in our destination using our favorite navigation app (Waze) and then anything Gary tells us along the way–if we’re not following one of his specific guided routes—is just an added bonus to our journey. I can’t recommend Gary… I mean GuideAlong… enough. For the development team: I would LOVE to have a dark mode. I use dark mode for all my apps! But in particular at night, it sure would be nice to not be blinded by GuideAlong’s bright UI 😬.MrSawyerVersion: 2.3.4

From Disaster to Delight: A GuideAlong Adventure in the CatskillsYears ago, I stumbled upon a self-guided tour app and thought, "Why not?" Spoiler alert: it was a disaster. The route was as clear as mud, and the voice? It chimed in at all the wrong times. Imagine trying to enjoy a scenic view while your phone spouts historical facts about a completely different location. Fun times. Fast forward to a year ago, I tried another app. This one was better... if you enjoy major bugs and glitches. Nothing like an app crashing right as you're about to learn why a particular tree is so special. Spoiler alert: it wasn't special. But last week, GuideAlong caught my eye with a tour of the Catskill Mountains. The Catskills have always intrigued me, so I thought, "Third time's a charm?" And oh, what a charm it was! GuideAlong was a revelation. Easy to follow, incredibly informative, and best of all, it had a great sense of humor. I found myself laughing along with the guide, which was a nice change from screaming at my phone in frustration. The app even gave me options to explore certain towns and trails, suggesting a diner and a bakery that were both top-notch (my waistline might disagree, but my taste buds were thrilled). We left the house at 9am and returned at 7:30pm, full of delicious food and fun facts about the Catskills. Thanks to GuideAlong, it was a fun-filled, stress-free day. If you're looking for a tour app that won't make you want to throw your phone out the window, GuideAlong is your new best friend..Abe WeissVersion: 2.3.1

Best $10 I spent this entire vacationMy husband and I took a road trip through the Midwest that we barely planned out. We ended up at Yellowstone without any prior knowledge of the park or experience with visiting national parks. By chance we came across this app while trying to figure things out in a magazine, and it was the best decision we made. The tour follows where you are in the park and knows when to give you the needed information. It tells you about the park’s history, it teaches you the science required in order to understand the features in the area, it gives you anecdotes, it recommends hidden gems, it helps you navigate this huge park! It was amazing. I’ve never actually written a review before, but I felt inclined to for this one because I hoped that everyone who was visiting the park could also enjoy it. I definitely plan to check it frequently to see what other tours they add, as we were very happy with it this time around..BlockMamiVersion: 1.2.2

You need to buy this App!!My hubby and I recently used GuideAlong for the first time on a trip to Hawaii. A friend recommended it and we loved the tours! We used it on Maui and Kauai - brilliant setup, easy to use, entertaining and super informative. Can’t imagine driving the Road to Hana without this..7 FTRVersion: 2.3.2

Love this productThe drive around Oahu Hawaii was a great day thanks to GuideAlong - informative, entertaining and well designed, it kept us on the correct route, giving useful options as we went. We’re looking forward to using GuideAlong in upcoming visits to Maui, Kauai, and British Columbia..****barry****Version: 2.3.2

Kauai TourGreat tour commentary and great directions along the way with decisions points to skip or detour for other points of interest. Clunky audio setup. No CarPlay integration and I could not find a balance of volume between Apple Music and app audio on Bluetooth. I would want CarPlay integration to use again as most of the time I would be using a rental while traveling and don’t have time to optimize settings!.AtyrixVersion: 2.3.2

Road to Hana must have!Awesome!.JenéeClltVersion: 2.3.2

Big Island Hawaii guideFantastic drive-along guide. Lots of specific instructions. Plenty of interesting tourist, historical, and geologic information. Greatly enhanced our drives and general touring of the island. My only suggestion is it might be useful to add a segment on the Mauna Kea summit road during the Saddle Road stretch. It seems there could be lots of interesting scientific, climate, and safety information that could be shared during that stretch, going in either direction..Ssc2200Version: 2.3.2

Our newest travel hackThis was our first audio tour road trip. And we loved it! It was such a relaxing experience, not having to read the guide book and plan. We totally recommend it for anyone doing the Road Hanna..EvilevgVersion: 2.3.2

A must have!!We used the app for the Road to Hana in Maui. It was entertaining, informative and accurate. Honestly would not enjoyed or got as much out of the trip without it. Highly recommend it..Rosalind123Version: 2.3.2

You must get this appI was afraid this app would have a robotic voice and spew out facts in a boring monotone. Quite the contrary, it was like having a friend who knows everything about your journey riding in the back seat! The real time tips and instructions were phenomenal and the stories and easy to follow history kept us captivated the entire ride. I only wish I could turn it on while driving around my home city back home. Get this app!.Caleb Y. 87Version: 2.3.2

GuideAlong | GPS Audio Tours Negative Reviews

Quality and service are rapidly degradingI used to love this app, but the company is starting to sour. Some of their tours are absolutely fantastic, but they are growing to new tours that grossly miss the mark. Problems such as inaccurate info, lack of verbal guidance for points of interest, and all-around poor tours. Some of these low-standard tours are still being marketed and priced similar to the rest of their normal reasonable-standard GuideAlong tours. I’ve purchased a ton of tours with this company and when I wrote in to the company to address my concerns I was originally ignored then later dismissed, pushed away, and left stammering in surprise. Based on the morose defensiveness, I would guess the owners are fielding customer service, instead of a trained CS department. Regardless, their customer service is downright awful. The customer is not always right, but there are countless resources available online geared towards strategies and best practices to keep them happy anyways. Really basic stuff even, (like simply being nice and hospitable) but I just don’t think GA even remotely cares about that sort of thing, based on my interactions with them. This experience is a great case study in how to flip a previously huge fan of a product into a disenchanted customer falling out of love and seeking competitors of this brand. Every ongoing interaction with this company is worse than the previous..Fmb-Version: 2.0.13

Mostly good, updates are problematicI’ve used this app at 6 national parks now, its mostly good, some routes are better than others for sure. My main issue is how it handles updates, if your map is outdated you can’t use it until you update. If you’re out in Yellowstone NP, miles from service, you’re out of luck. That’s the main appeal of this app to me is that you can download it all ahead of time and use it offline. Anyway its gotten worse. On our most recent trip about half way through I just stopped trying to get it to update. Even though i updated everything on wifi before leaving for our trip and even though i checked for updates at least twice on the trip when at a visitor center or somewhere with wifi, it still quit to install updates it couldn’t download three separate times. So for those drives we couldn’t use the app we paid $15 for. Update: The dev contacted me to tell me that what happened to me in fact did not happen and that the app works great, which reminded me that their support is pretty bad. I’ve contacted them a few times with questions and they just tell me its working fine and I must be doing it wrong. Maybe I am, but it’d be nice if they would tell me how to do it right..JdangleVersion: 2.0.3
