Great tour at your own pace
Natalie_D, Apr 2023
Very informative and organized tour. Enjoyed it with the family on our own ride across Canyonlands park. Recommend to anyone wishing to learn more about the park. Just make sure you have enough snacks/food/water on your trip as there is basically none anywhere in the park and it took us 5 hours to cover the entire recommended path.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Yay - thanks Natalie! A great tip for everyone is to bring water & snacks (and a full gas tank). I’m so glad you had a great time at Canyonlands with my tour. If you plan to travel more, you may like my Action+ Tour Bundle (it has all of my self-guided tours, over 100). Thanks again!

Easy and interesting
Roman_A, Oct 2022
The audio tour tracks your location and speaks at certain locations throughout the park. I’d definitely do another park as it was very informative

Great Way to see the Canyonlands National Park
Julie_C, Sep 2022
We wanted to drive through Canyonlands National Park so we could go at our own pace and have the flexibility to stay shorter or longer at any of the stops. We have never used an audio tour, so we decided to try it. I am so glad we did as it was super easy and intuitive. We drove along the route at the recommended speed, and listened to the narrator share stories about the next stop we were en-route to see. We learned a lot and had a great time.
Response from Host, Sep 2022

Mark_D, Jun 2022
The app allows you to go at your own pace and with GPS knows where you are heading. Also, gives the history and feel of the terrain.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thanks so much for the review! I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring Canyonlands with my tour. I also have self-guided tours for other parks (and beyond). Thanks again!
You can’t get to these areas in your car, even with 4wd
Alexander_M, May 2022
The canyons were spectacular. Coming in the back way through mining orations was very interesting. The cliff side drives were adventurous, but John was in full control.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Driving your own car through Canyonlands is super popular and a great way to experience the majesty of the landscape! I hope you enjoyed my self-guided driving tour!
The tour guide was great....
Lydia_T, May 2022
The tour guide was great. Very informative stuff I didn't even know. May use it for the arches tour as well
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thanks so much, Lydia! I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring Canyonlands with my self-guided tour. If you try out Arches too, let me know your thoughts! Both parks are gorgeous. I have several other Utah parks (and beyond).
awesome great buy!
Ashley_B, May 2022
This was my first trip to a national park. I had no idea what to expect. This tour made it easy to see what to do, how to do it, and the path to get there. The map and app worked perfectly with my iPhone. Make sure to download it before entering the park.
Response from Host, May 2022
Thanks so much Ashley! I'm glad my tour helped you enjoy your first EVER visit a national park — how exciting! I hope you get the chance to try out my other tours on your future adventures across the country!
Disappointed.
Margaret_A, Apr 2022
The code did not arrive in time for us to use it. The help note said to wait 2-3 hours and try to get it again. We had a time line so had to go without it. There is no service in Canyonlands so we paid but got nothing. I would like a refund. We did use the Arches audio tour and loved it. Which is why we bought Canyonlands at the last minute. When we bought Arches it arrived immediately. We were very disappointed.
Learned a few interesting...
Marla_B, Apr 2022
Learned a few interesting facts- but could not coordinate dialogue to places….was frustrating. Overall, disappointed….would not recommend. Sorry.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thanks for your feedback Marla! The tour is designed to work in one direction only. Since it wasn’t matching up, it sounds like you may have been off-route!
Great app!
Teri_S, Apr 2022
We were skeptical that the driving tour would add much to our visit but boy were we wrong! The app worked flawlessly and told historical stories and described the scenery and how it was formed. It worked flawlessly! Pressed start and it just worked as we drove. Well worth the cost! Will definitely use at other parks.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Yay!! The only thing I love more than seeing “flawless” is seeing it twice! Hope you get the chance to try out my other tours on your future travels!
Very informative. Reasonably priced.
Debra_P, Feb 2022
The tour has interesting facts and made the visit a lot more fun than if I did it without have to research it.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Thanks Debra! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the Canyonlands tour! We also have other self-guided tours across the country at ActionTourGuide.com. Thanks again!
Wonderful Experience!
jericho_a, Sep 2021
The App was on point. I love the narration of the histories and scientific facts provided. It was very helpful and made us feel that we have our own private guide during the whole tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
So glad you enjoyed your time in Canyonlands! Seeing this beautiful landscape is one thing, but we believe hearing its history and how it came into existence adds something special to the experience. Don’t forget to take a look at our full tour catalogue at ActionTourGuide.com!
