It was very difficult to do on our phones. It took over an hour to get into the app and set up the tour. Then it started to repeat itself at the covered bridge. Then it stopped working completely. We ran out of time and patience.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Administered with a touch of humor, the tour provided options when available and lots of information regarding the Cuyahoga Valley NP. I loved the little stories in between that provided information on events that we would never have known. Anytime I visit a historical site in the future, a self guided tour is something I would likely purchase.

Our family, ages 10 - 61, all thoroughly enjoyed this audio tour. The stories were entertaining. We really liked the narrator's voice and cadence. We never could have planned all these stops on our own, not without days and days of research. Definitely worth the money. We hope to do a few more tours in the future.

We really enjoyed our audio tour of Cuyahoga national park. It was informative with lots of interesting stories and lots of stops in the itinerary. The narrator was clear and often funny. Well worth the price and time spent.
