    Excellent. Exactly what we needed for our family. Self paced leisurely drive while avoiding the crowds and heat. The voice over was very entertaining with lots of interesting facts. The instructions were easy to follow as well. I actually recommended this tour to our friend who is an Austin native. The only things that probably need improvement is the tour of Austin city. With all the one way streets it was hard getting back on the right path to hear the audio guide again. I lost it when the guide recommended parking the car and walking the remaining spots. Austin in July you don't want to walk it. We drove it so the audio guide would intro a spot but with the moving traffic it would abruptly stop and then intro the next place of interest. I understand it was the walking section but unfortunately didn't hear the full audio guide. Overall, it was a great guide fairly priced as well. Great job guys. If I am back in the US in a different city I will pay for the tour gladly. Cheers!

    It was 100deg F the day we did the tour so a driving tour was great and flexible. Information was balanced. It was historical and amusing. We were not aware of the walking parts but we stayed in the car and listened to the spots on the walking tour.

    Technically, everything worked well. It was a little confusing at first to know that we needed to go to site number two for the program to continue. I thought each step would provide a better description of the particular site background, history, etc. It jumps in with a history of Texas rather than any description of what we’re seeing. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of that. I would have loved to know more about specific site. That seems to start at Pennybacker bridge which was interesting but prior to that not really. I hope this is helpful for other newbies.

    Nothing happened as described. Downloading was a challenge, so we asked for help or a refund. We were suggested to try it anyway to see if it did download. So we got in the car and went to the first starting point. We couldn’t get sound, or couldn’t get most attractions to come on. We jumped from 2-3 sequence spots frequently. We got lost near the beginning and started over, but little changed. Very frustrating! We were exhausted by the end due to the stress of the poorly performing tour, for both the driver and person running the program on our device. $16.99 wasted…and the gas in the car.

    Great concept. Easy to use. Good overview of Austin. Could use more content on longer stretches. Would like to see upcoming turns displayed in similar fashion to Google maps along with speed limits. Looking forward to using the app on our future trips

    What to expect

    Bull Creek District Park

    Bull Creek District Park

    One of the things that made Austin a prime candidate to become the capital of Texas was its place along the Colorado River. This allowed lush greenery to bloom in an otherwise harsh and challenging environment, and the park up ahead showcases exactly that. Note: The tour is over 19+ miles long, with more than 20+ audio stories, and takes about 3-4 hours to complete. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

    Duration 10 minutes
