Highley Recommend! Excellent app! - We loved the GuideAlong app! The information, history, and stories entertained us throughout our trip. We knew exactly what was coming up on the tour so we could make a decision if we wanted to stop or not. Easy to download before getting to any areas without cell service.

So good… get it! - We’ve toured so many places on our own. I honestly didn’t want to get this but my wife thought it wouldn’t hurt if we needed it (Banff vacation; our first time there). We loved it. Great information, amazing navigation and enjoyable to listen to. Really cool technology that works to take stress out of the vacation experience.

Great GPS linked audio guide - The audio guide was very useful with good commentary. The GPS linked guide was especially helpful in remote mountain areas without phone receptions.

Amazing Drive with a knowledgeable friend - Excellent, information just at the right time during the drive! Imagine you are driving with that knowledgeable best friend! It was easy following waypoints and planning hikes along our route. The tour guide was witty and presented information ahead of time to choose side trips. We bought the whole Rocky Mountain Tour which transformed a beautiful drive into the best family trip to date. My two boys stopped playing video games and asked when we will finish the rest of the audio tour. The historical knowledge and information here is indispensable. Even if you drive passed these mountains regularly, you will learn something new and enjoy the drive even more. We are a skiing family and drive to the Rockies several times per year and so thankful to come across this tour. Please make the license available to Mom and Dad! My wife is now giving me the stink eye because the tour only works on my phone - LOL

Entertaining personal tour guide in your car with minimal costs - We rented a car and visited points of interest beginning with Jasper National Park, Lake Louise, and Banff National Parks. This guide is so worth the minimal costs. Knowing there would be areas with no internet service, we downloaded the voice and maps to our I Phone before we traveled. We had no technical issues at all. The unique feature is that the App follows you and changes the commentary in the direction you drive. So many helpful tips are included such as gas stations, food options, as well history and the most suggested picturesque stops of many areas to pull over. The commentator was interesting and had fun facts to break up any monotony. There are several different tours available for Canada and US.

Highly Recommend - Highly recommended. Entertaining with some excellent recommendations. Worked much better that expected. Once figured out how to use, had only a couple of glitches prob more due to me than system. Was leery going in because of negative reviews of another service but so glad we used. Met a few other travelers who used Gypsy and felt the same.
