We love using self guided tours on Viator! They are very informative and lead us to viewing sites we would probably have missed. My only issue I had was I didn't realize I needed to download the Action Tour Guide app prior to starting tour. It didn't advise during purchase process or emails. Thankfully, we were close enough to visitor center for service. With that being said, the guide was fantastic and informative as always!
Recommended: Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together! Discover the stunning formations and harsh beauty of Utah’s desert with this Arches National Park self-guided driving tour. Learn about iconic formations like Balanced Rock as you drive past, visit famous arches like Delicate Arch, and hike the trails that showcase what makes this place so special! This self-guided tour allows you to explore Arches with maximum flexibility and value. As a bonus, this package also includes a tour through Delicate Arch Trail! After booking, check your email/text to download the separate Audio Tour Guide App by Action while connected to WiFi or mobile data. Enter the password, download the tour, and enjoy it offline. Follow the audio instructions and route from the designated starting point. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months. This isn't an entrance ticket. Check opening hours before your visit.
