A must download for any Alaskan roadtrip

Our family of five (including a ten year old and twin six year olds) covered 2k miles in a week and a half, spanning from Anchorage, to Denali, to Talkeetna, to Seward, to Valdez. We listened to this guided tour every mile covered. Valdez was the only drive not included (recommend for future iterations!)
The content was highly interesting, and relevant — updated in the past 12 months. The stories were fun and there are a couple different voices you get to hear from. No internet connectivity required, just download all the tours ahead of your trip, and off you go. Pleasant music plays in between each segment, which auto plays based on your location. I highly recommend! And wish more locations offered such an informative, pleasant, user friendly audio tour.
Wonderful

This is super helpful if you are interested in Alaska ecology, wildlife, suggestions on places to visit and fun stories of Alaskans. Helpful companion on self driven tours! Definitely recommend.
sometimes the narratives are longer than the distance taken to reach the next spot, so you’d have to go back and replay later.
A must-have for your Alaska road trip!

I listened to every single one of these tours on my drive through Alaska, and I learned so much! The frequency and amount of information felt just right. I can’t wait to go back and listen to it all again!
Good times

We drove all over Alaska. We started out Anchorage to Denali and then back to Anchorage to Homer and Seward. It only goes one direction but we loved it. Saw lots of things not in the guidebooks. Not too much history. Funny stories. Loved the crappy glacier in Denali. Worth the purchase.
Disappointed

More music than information is provided. Alaska is storied with history, especially history of Alaska Natives and this app doesn’t touch on all that it could. Tern Lake to Homer is much better than the Talkeetna to Anchorage tour. As a local I was hoping for more. Some pronunciations are inaccurate.
Expecting more for the $$$

It gives you something to listen to driving Alaska’s vastness, but some narrations really left us both confused and scratching our heads. I agree climate change is an important topic, but a 5min narrative about it on our vacation? One suggested stop was just a local pond that had security cameras to help with obvious crime problems around. The directional routes contain the same recordings in case you were hoping for new info on your round trip. If you’re buying multiple legs, there’s a lot of information overlap. In the past, Gypsy audio guides had totally transformed our trip. We had more fun discussing the awkwardness of these audio clips than gaining any actual information.
Entertaining!

Alaska is a big state and this was an interesting and informative way to pass the time while driving in Alaska.
Perfect for our road trip!

We downloaded this app to listen to in the car while on vacation. It made for great stories, history and geography of the area. Absolutely loved it!

Enjoyed driving to Seward, Homer, and to Denali. Another person didn’t like the music but we liked it. The chapters were easy to download. We had a great time.
Local Approved!

I recently downloaded this app to use with my family that was visiting from the Midwest. We listened to three narrated tours during their stay. It was enjoyed by all and as a local, even I appreciated the information and learned a few new things too!
We all agreed, aside from the fun facts shared, that the best part was all the personal stories that were included from a local resident. I recommend this app to locals if you're having family and friends visit or are a tourist coming here on your own. It might just “peak” your interest!
