Total rip off!
Cheryl_h, Nov 2022
This was a rip off! The app they had me download did not have the tour for which we paid. We were on the route and wanted to pick up the guided tour - per advertised - and paid for and unable to download. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
It sounds as though you did not have the correct app downloaded as the tours are quite easy to find and download. We are always available for assistance by telephone, text and email and would have been happy to help had you reached out. If you would like to contact us we can help you get the tour downloaded or arrange a refund.
Even tho $7.99, not worth the money…
Scott_G, Mar 2022
The actual drive down the Pacific Coast Hwy was a beautiful drive. However there was no guidance from the purchased download of which was difficult to download in itself. We spent 45 mins trying to get it to work. The fun facts about different areas were nice but very few recommended stops on the tour. We could never get the tour to catch up with the area we were actually driving through.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thanks for the review. We aren't sure what the issue getting it to work was, it's quite easy and our customer service team is available to help if there is an issue. As for the tour not "catching up", it's based on the speed the vehicle is traveling, so if you manually play the audio after you've passed the point of interest, it will run too long. All you need to do is pull over for a minute or two while listening and the problem will be solved. We will certainly look at more places to recommend stopping.
