This is the way to go!!! And a good value for the price! We had an exceptional experience traveling through Arches NP using the audio tour by Travel with Action. I researched quite a few tours before booking this one and am so satisfied that I made this choice! It was very easy to download the tour on the company's app, and such a great deal to have audio tours of so many places included! We had visited Zion the week before and I really wish we had this resource at that time, live and learn... Since Arches is so accessible by car, a driving tour where we could travel at our leisure was perfect! It was a nice sunny day, temps got up to 74 so it was manageable, and the sky was a vivid blue, just perfect. The narrator was clear and interesting and at each stop we learned so much geological history and ecological information that really enriched our experience, and I do highly recommend viewing the short video in the Visitor's Center before you set off, as well. The timing of the audio was just perfect so there wasn't information overload and the suggestions on the length and difficulty of hiking in each area was much appreciated. On our next National perk visit we will definitely use this company. The tour is valid for one year from the time of purchase so we could go back and visit again in 2026.

Make sure you plan enough time in the park to see everything. This place is totally amazing. The landscape is other worldly.

1st and foremost, download the “Action Tour Guide” app and use it for any of these national parks. The sights were absolutely, amazingly BEAUTIFUL. The Action Tour Guide answered so many questions and curiosities for us the experience overall was breathtaking!

The audio tour was indispensable. Without it, I would never have known the significance both culturally and geologically of the rock formations I was seeing. Well worth it for each of the National parks.

We love using self guided tours on Viator! They are very informative and lead us to viewing sites we would probably have missed. My only issue I had was I didn't realize I needed to download the Action Tour Guide app prior to starting tour. It didn't advise during purchase process or emails. Thankfully, we were close enough to visitor center for service. With that being said, the guide was fantastic and informative as always!

This audio was the best! Very informative and worked so well. I had multiple people approve and ask where I found it. Be sure and download it before entering the park. It saved us $100s and we didn’t have to go in a bus tour with tons of other people. Highly recommend!!!

It was excellent! Emphasize downloading before trip to facilitate listening at the appropriate time. Looking forward to listening to others!

The landscape was beautiful. I think there were too many people at some sites but other than that it was beautiful. The customer service at the entry station was great.
