Made the trip more interesting even if you know some of the areas!
Dawn_F, Feb 2024
Made the trip fun with little facts and trivia questions along the way! Even if you're familiar with one of the POI, it the story behind it might not be something you know. It was great that gps automatically played when you're coming up on the new spot. Little quirky to get back on track if you don't want to stop at the POI and want to continue on. Definitely worth it for the price!!

Great narrative. We learned interesting facts about the area. Of course, nothing compares to the natural beauty of the coast.
