Fundy Park and trails tour - Loved having a guided tour that we could pick up any time and from any where. Just a suggestion: label the audios with the numbers on the tour so that it will be easier to figure out where we are( if we start from different points on different days). Thoroughly enjoyed and learned much about the area. Hope to to the same with the Cabot trail. Thank you so much!

Instagram worthy moments all day! - Well worth the $10 fee. We took time to get familiar with the app before leaving, and found it easy to use, easy to follow along and packed full of interesting information about local sights. We stopped along the way, and spent the better part of a full day on this adventure! Would highly recommend!

Great audio tour. - We of course enjoyed all the beautiful scenery. But we also enjoyed the added history of the area. We stopped at several museum mentioned in the audio tour. People were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of history in the area. The only thing we had issues with was some of the directions were not given on the audio. . Also would be nice to have numbers on the descriptions that correspond with numbers on map. The audio tour said it was a 3 hour drive. But it actually took us 2 1/2 days to do the tour because of all the great stops. We had a great time, seen a lot and did a lot. Tx.

Worthwhile driving app. - We difficulty installing the program, but I called the help desk and they walked me through it. It is important to become familiar with the program before you leave. We enjoyed listening to the information and history of the area. We also visited sights we would not have seen or been aware of. My one comment is that we should turn must be made. We were many times not sure if we had missed the exit. All in all we enjoyed the driving tour.

Fun tour, but unexpected costs - Very interesting idea, and a great way to learn about a place and see many hidden sites. The tour itself, including the app and the narration, was good. Most of the directions were pretty easy to follow. We had read the description of how to avoid paying the additional fee in the National park, but did have to pay a fee of $18/pp to enter the Provincial Fundy Trail Parkway at the Eastern entrance gate. According to the women working the desk there, the charging a fee to enter the park is a new thing, and she did give us the option of turning around and going back thru the National Park, or turning towards Sussex instead of entering the Provincial Park. We chose to pay and continue on the tour, and weren't disappoint in that part of the tour. Just be aware that there is now a charge for that.

Not worth the time or money - We could not complete the tour because we were sent to a provincial park that demanded money to use the road.
