Absolutely loved having this beautiful voice telling us stories as we travelled. Just enough information to teach us and keep us listening. Big hit with the children too. We’ve bought 2 more for our trip!
Purchase one tour per vehicle. Everyone can listen at the same time! Walk through enormous, ancient groves at Sequoia National Park with this self-guided driving tour. Witness the giant sequoias in all their majesty, including General Sherman, the most massive living thing on the planet. As you tour this jaw-dropping primeval forest, you’ll learn about the area’s early inhabitants, from the Paiute tribe to the founders of a secretive, ill-fated colony. Plus, take in jaw-dropping views of Kings Canyon with the same tour!

The guided tour provided a LOT of history and perspectives that made this amazing venture even more special!

Maybe it was me but no matter what I did I could not get this to work. I have used it before when visiting parks in Utah. But this time, despite having downloaded it and following all the directions, nothing. Tried while going into the parks for two days and finally gave up.

We didn't know much about the park before visiting, and this travel companion worked perfectly to guide us during our trip!

Excellent self touring app that gave you valuable information about the National Parks of Sequoia and Kings Canyon.
