Highway audio tour - This was a unique experience listening to all the history of the area we were driving through. It was quite cumbersome to download but the tour was worth the small hassle. Totally worth the cost, which is reasonable

Already recommended to a fellow traveler - We drove from Durango to Ouray. The narrator was informative. We learned a lot and very much enjoyed the audio presentation.

Excellent guided tour - Excellent option when there are not many activities available or travelers cannot walk long distances. We didn't know but where the tour ends, the town of Outray, is a beautiful place with hot springs and several small hotels to spend the night. The landscapes are exceptional and even though the last part of the route has many curves, it is worth the experience.

Average experience - While the experience was fine getting it setup took over a half hour with few detail instructions. We’ve used several of these in the past but this one didn’t provide a lot of area information.

Boring and basic info. No interesting stories. - No real historical info or cool stories. It was just some boring stuff about erosion, the animals, reminder to drive slow etc. I expected historical and interesting but I gained no new knowledge.
