Tripvia Tours

There were so many things wrong with this app, it’s hard to say what was the worst! I’ll just give the FACTS based on our experience. 1. App crashes constantly - yup, just stops working as you approach a stop, not every time, but on a roughly 25 stop tour the app crashed at least 10 times. Which leads to my second big issue…. 2. Where are my tours - you often purchase the tours in advance, at home where you have great internet. Time passes, you go to the city where the tour starts, open app, hmmmm… might make sense that you would see a list of the tours you’ve purchased, NOPE! You have to hunt through their menu until you find the one you purchased and start the tour. Oh, by the way, every time the app crashes you have to do the same thing!!!! 3. Where was I ? Also very annoying, you can jump to the spot where you were by hitting the map but it doesn’t actually take you where you left off, ours always took us to the intro…. 4. Bring a portable charger- As others have mentioned, this thing will drain your phone faster than anything I’ve ever seen.

We did the LA to San Diego tour in June and we’re disappointed in this audio tour. We had previously done a similar tour in Oahu through another developer and it was amazing. This particular tour had LOTS of dead air time and could have covered so much more. This route is not as scenic as I had always heard, so the first half in particular was rough. There were many points of interest that were missed and some of the narration was very brief and could have been much more informative. The drive took a lot longer than anticipated because this route has tons and tons of stoplights, so prepare for more time than is estimated. It is inexpensive, but we thought we wasted so much of a day.

You won't be disappointed! Family friendly. Kids loved it.. to be honest hubby and I did too.
