This tour was the highlight of our visit! I stopped at places I never knew existed and saw so much more using this app. We found the tour guide informative and humorous. The music had to be paused a few times as it was a bit much, but other times, the music was thoroughly enjoyable. I was impressed how the tour kept up with us, even with no phone signal in the park. I highly recommend this app and will use it again when I get the chance.

Best travel app!

We tried out a qday in Hawaii and it completely transformed our trip to Kauai. We ended up doing all of the driving tours on the island. Our 6 year old son, kept asking “Can we turn on the Shaka tour yet?” The whole family loved it! We were thrilled to see more tours in the contential states!

Great content. However, bad timing which results in easily missed checkpoints. Stops auto-play consistently while using GPS. Be sure to monitor the app to play the upcoming stops so you have time to find a parking spot.

What is an Audio Tour Guide?

Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here's how it works:

  • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk.
  • Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
