Must get if driving the icefields parkway - Best money we spent on the trip to Banff and Jasper. The app was easy to use and very helpful. I was amazed how well the audio commentary matched the locations even where cell service was non existent . You all get the benefit of getting driving directions to the most popular locations. There were many tips you may not find anywhere else. We also noted how current the info was as changes to access Moraine Lake were just changed this year and the guide knew it.lots of trivia and history of the area

Banff to Icefields - This self guided tour was exceptional. It enabled us to go at our own pace, learn a little fascinating history, and visit the real highlights along the parkway from Banff to the Icefields that we might otherwise have missed. An unbelievable value at $7.99!!

Wonderful Guide - a MUST - You download the app to your phone - enter the payment code - and then drive to somewhere on the route, the app using the phone GPS to keep you tracked. This was guide is ESSENTIAL and low cost. The naration was very informative but light and humerous. You travel at your own pace the guide telling you what you should see and those you must not miss. The hire car we were in used Apple CarPlay and the naration came through the car sound system quietening the radio as required faultlessly. Absolutely brilliant.

A Must-Have - This audio tour is a MUST for those making the journey on the parkway. The scenery is amazing but we would missed so many stops to see waterfalls, hikes and views without the information. The quizzes along the way made us feel like Jefferson was along with us. Also appreciated the history lessons and facts. Just a note, had 2 geologists in the car and you may want to review some of the geology facts. Otherwise, we loved this. Great investment!
