FAQ
Reviews
The trip was just average for me. While I appreciated learning about the history of the area and how the mountain ranges got their names, there were some negatives. One issue was the limited parking in Big Sky’s Town Center, which made browsing the shops frustrating due to impatient drivers. Additionally, I was put off by the narrator's one-sided environmentalist perspective, repeatedly emphasizing geological formations over billions of years and framing climate change as an immediate catastrophe. The discussion about ranchers' views on wolves felt overly biased; as a cattle owner myself, I understand the impact of predators on livestock. I believe both sides of the issue should have been presented. Considering the cost was under $20, it wasn't a total waste, but it didn't feel valuable either, especially as I'm not someone who typically travels just for sightseeing.
I was initially hesitant about using this app, but after my wife insisted on booking the tour, I’m glad I did. It enhanced our long drive significantly with engaging stories and fascinating narration. The must-see attractions were impressive, making the journey enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone driving along this scenic highway.
After experiencing other tours in Yellowstone, we chose to take the Big Sky Drive Tour, and it exceeded our expectations. We gained valuable insights into the Gallatin range, and the drive offered breathtaking views that were truly stunning. It was simply beautiful.
Our family of four took the tour, and even with two members who have lived here for two years, we gained a lot of insights about the area. At times, the timing of the information didn't align perfectly with the sites we visited. Overall, we appreciated the tour and found it a valuable way to spend time during the two-hour drive. We would consider doing it again in the future.
The app requires excessive attention while driving, which feels unsafe. Several locations were unnecessarily missed, leading to frustration. Additionally, the app doesn’t keep the phone screen active, forcing constant taps. The absence of CarPlay integration adds to the danger, as the navigation often failed to maintain an accurate driving position, frequently needing to recenter, and the content itself was underwhelming.
We really enjoyed this tour and found it more engaging than listening to an audiobook. We're interested in buying any additional car tours offered in our area. It was informative, and we appreciate that we can replay it on future trips along this route.
