Problems with app
Laurence_W, Mar 2024
Good explanation but the app is no suitable with every cel, it works with iphone and I beleive it is a point to be improved.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Laurence, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with the app. Our app supports every phone, but please ensure your device runs iOS 13 or above for iPhones. For Android phones, make sure your device is running Android version 9 or above. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our app for all users.
would’ve been great if the park ranger had to close the drive
Dana_O, Dec 2023
The parts that I was able to do were great they were very informative. But unfortunately Park Rangers had closed off most of the scenic drive so I didn’t get to listen to a lot of it
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Dana, I'm glad you found the parts of the Zion National Park Audio Tour you could experience informative and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the park rangers closed parts of the scenic drive, limiting your whole tour experience. I appreciate your understanding in these unforeseen circumstances.

Self tour
Wendy_R, Dec 2022
Easy to use but unfortunately it start over every time we would go offline. Got alittle annoying but nonetheless we saw everything on the self tour
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thank you so much for your feedback, Wendy! The tour will start from where you left off if the app runs in the background, but if you kill it and start everything again, it will start over. I'm delighted that my tour of Zion added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.
Audio tour
Ruth_B, Oct 2022
I downloaded the app when I had good connection. When I got there, went to the Zion visitor center and ranger helped me connect to the internet, but as soon as I started hiking down a trail, no internet. But when I got to the next stop, the audio tour automatically came on! And it was interesting and helpful.
Response from Host, Oct 2022

Highly recommend!!
Stacy_H, Aug 2022
The driving tour was fantastic especially for anyone who doesn’t love to hike. There were many places to pull off and take pictures. The shuttle bus at Zion was basically for those who wanted to hike the trails and we really wanted to see the beautiful scenery without that. Would highly recommend!!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thanks so much Stacy! That’s so wonderful to hear! Zion is a breathtakingly gorgeous location with plenty to see for visitors. We do our best to provide that all. I’m so delighted that you enjoyed my tour of Zion. I have 100 other tours in the USA. Please check them out on your next vacation. Also, just to remind you that the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit also.
Not a good idea in canyons
Casey_G, Jun 2021
I could not get cell service to use the self driving tour of Zion. I do not recommend getting this unless your cell phone works in canyons.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Sorry for the inconvenience. Yes, cell signal is horrible at all national Parks but we do recommend downloading the tour before you arrive at Zion National Park. The tour works offline. But anyways We’d also be happy to offer a refund since you didn’t have a great experience.
Bad experience , no telp to call , the phone is only on the truck , hope you give contact no , so if something happens
lita_m, May 2021
The address you gave us took us to a wrong place , we use Apple Map , we tried to call , no telp number to call on the voucher or Viator side , I text them at around 800 and no answer till 11.37 . When we finally arrived at the meeting place , tried to call the no , no answer till 11.37 . In the mean time the person in the Kane visitors center offered another co that still has opening in the afternoon , so we use them , since we have not heard from you , please refund our money
Response from Host, May 2021
We don’t really understand your review — please give us a call ASAP. From our records, there were no calls at 11:37 (or from the number attached to your account). Perhaps you called TripAdvisor or Viator and not us. We can also see that the password email and text message were sent to you on time. (Please check your spam folder if you don’t see it). You can get our contact info from the password email, text message, website, or from our app. We’re available all day over call, chat, and email. Lastly, this is a self-guided tour, not a guided one. There is no guide to meet at the starting place. The starting place is simply the starting location of the self-guided tour. Please be sure to follow the 4 Steps laid out in the password email, which explains what to do.
Terrible
Tracie_B, Apr 2021
We asked for a refund because when we got to the visitor center they told us we had to ride a shuttle in Zion's and we would have to buy it from Zion's. The tickets for the tram were sold out so we couldn't go.
Response from Host, Apr 2021
This is a self-guided tour and not a shuttle ticket, as described above. It is possible to enjoy this tour while visiting Zion via any vehicle (car, shuttle, bike, RV) but we don’t provide that transportation — this is only a tour. Nevertheless, we are always happy to refund if the experience wasn’t a great one. Please contact us with your booking receipt.
