Enjoyed using the actiontour app for the Gettysburg battlefields driving tour. The app worked great and suited our needs for a self-guided tour. If we had had more time we would have added in the two walking tours. The Gettysburg museum actually provided a link on their website to the actiontour app. We had previously used this app for the Freedom Trail walking tour in Boston. We have recommended it to friends.

The commentary was great. The GPS worked fine and was accurate. The only problem was getting the sound to work. I had to dig into the troubleshooting to learn that I needed to turn off my Bluetooth connection to the car. Put that up front!

Excellent experience. We were able to go at our own pace and stop at selected sites along the tour route.

Our audio tour of Kings Canyon and the Sequoia National Forest was excellent. The audio tour not only covered the highlights of both parks but included the cultural, vegetation, and native animals of the area. I appreciated the sensitiveness of the narrative in regards to the history of the area. Be sure to download both tours as one originates at the south entrance of Sequoia Park and one originates at the Kings Canyon entrance.

We really enjoyed the self guided driving tour of Marthas Vineyard. Lots of great history and info and easy route to follow.

Got the tour for Joshua Tree after our trip included a dangerous heat wave (it was 111F/44C outside). This tour allowed us to both see things we would have missed and to know where to get out and brave the heat for the really interesting stuff. The only hiccup for us is that the map never loaded, so the instructions "follow the map to the next destination" were more of a guess (as there are really one two main roads, it wasn't much of a guess).

Bought the Arches tour on a whim and do not regret my decision. the app knows where I am at and tells me more about what I am looking at. I have been to Arches so many times but didn't even know most of the information within the app. I'd definitely recommend their tour!

While visiting Boston, We purchased the “Ultimate” Harvard Self-Guided Audio Tour. The experience was anything but ultimate. The app was completely unusable. It seemed it could not figure out our location. Audio comments would begin for points we were not near. The blue location dot was never where we were. It would even move around while we were stopped. This was not a problem with my phone, as both Apple and Google Maps could quickly pinpoint our location. After messing around for 30+ minutes, I gave up, closed the app, and toured Harvard using the pamphlet we picked up at the subway station. I will never again buy a product from Action Tour Guide. It was a total waste of time and money.
