Review of the $9 Icefields Parkway audio tour, with GPS narration, scenic stops, setup tips, value, drawbacks, and who should book.

“We downloaded the app before we left to drive the highway. Had some trouble getting it to play in the car but finally figured it out. If you like a lot of history then you would probably enjoy it. I did like that it would talk about what was coming up and the was nice because it was not always identified on the highway!”

Review the Lake Agnes Tea House Trail audio tour in Banff, with trail details, app tips, costs, highlights, drawbacks, and booking advice.

“A Very good hike, one of the best things I did in Banff. (please note it’s more than a moderate hike because it is all up hill) The terrain is fairly flat. The audio was nice hear, although it kicked in and out often so I was fussing with my phone to adjust which was a little annoying but worth the money.”
