Highlights
  • Million Dollar Highway - Your northbound tour along the Million Dollar Highway begins in Durango. From here, you’ll head north and discover why millions of people come from all over to visit this jaw-dropping stretch of highway.
  • Mancos Valley Overlook - From here, you can see some of the distinct ecosystems in these mountains. There’s the shrub-steppe community at lower elevations dominated by plants like sagebrush and rabbitbrush. A little higher up is the pinyon-juniper woodland, also known as the “pygmy forest.” Here, pinyon and juniper trees are king.
  • Beaver Meadows Visitor Center - Welcome to Rocky Mountain National Park! This tour will take you through the most picturesque stretch of this majestic mountain range. Get ready for stunning vistas, lush meadows, and prime wildlife-spotting!
  • 4500 Kissing Camels Dr - The first thing to know is that the two camels aren’t actually two different rocks. At one time, they looked no different than the rest of this rock face. But there was a small crack within one layer of the sandstone. A crack so small it was practically invisible.

Must Have the Action's Self-Guided Tours!!! - We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the audio guide! Our younger teens were particularly enthusiastic, quickly mastering the app and gaining a wealth of knowledge. While I'm unsure if the content directly supported their education, they were thoroughly engaged and loved it! We explored Mesa Verde, Rocky Mountains, Garden of Gods, and on our return journey, we listened to the Million Dollar Highway tour. Highly Recommended!!! The audio guide was informative, entertaining, and perfectly paced, making our road trip an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to use it again on our next adventure!

An excellent guide to when you cannot stick to a limited time frame for a tour. - Kept losing our directions to next stop but overall very satisfied with what we learned. Pace was good just directions seemed not as clear.

Touring Providence - Streets had other names than tour. It was hard when places were blocked, I did like using it to see the city when it worked.

App is a disaster - The app is a total disaster. Every time I switch to the map for directions and then back it starts from the beginning. Can’t say too much about the tour because we only made it to stop 8.

I 100% do not recommend this. - This is definitely a great idea, in theory. HOWEVER, the tour advises you to drive less than 20 miles an hour and that's just not realistic when driving on real streets with cars behind you trying to go the actual speed limit. ALSO, when we were sticking to the MPH suggestions, the app still was either way too early or way too late and not knowing the city, it gave directions terribly. We'd be through an intersection when it'd say "Turn left on this street". ALSO, it was especially frustrating to use the map. I would scroll into wherever we were and the map would pop back out to normal view. AND it wouldn't stay wherever we were. It was so much more frustrating than fun. We'll likely never ever use this again. Thankfully, it was "only" $7. A waste of $7 but only $7 nonetheless.
