Great commentary with interesting historical information as well as recommendations for stops along the way. A bit fiddly to get going with it as I downloaded wrong app at first then realised my mistake. Highly recommended The quizzes and funny comments are welcome too.

A little tricky at first to navigate all the buttons, but once started the Icefields audio guide was really informative and made our journey from Lake Louise to almost Jasper (closes due to forest fires) very special.

Really enjoyed listening to all the history and fun facts about all the areas along the Parkway. The trivia questions were a nice touch!

Really easy to set up and excellent information as we were driving along to keep things interesting

Tim was very knowledgeable and friendly, thank you for a great day.
