About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 2curiouscanucks0 contributionsMehWe had challenges keeping the route connected and so would regularly skip back to the beginning. We also don’t have children so the style of the commentary was annoying to us. We ended up reading it out to avoid the tone and the dropped connections. It was okay but having purchased a previous one for Joshua Tree which was great, I was disappointed in this oneWritten July 10, 2024
- paulafQ7911CB0 contributionsmade the road trip so much fun !what a great idea ! made the road trip so much fun and flew by. fun facts about the area. i would highly recommend everyone doing this. I look forward to doing another one on our next road trip.Written October 29, 2023
- keithsS782EL0 contributionsRandom bits - sometimes relevantSome of the commentary was more oriented for children in the car. Some of the commentary was only very loosely related to where we were. There were many interesting sites that I wish had commentary like some of the old bridges we passed.Written September 11, 2023
- BaccyfromCanada0 contributionsOverall a great experienceWhat a cool way to keep occupied and learn about the places you are seeing as you drive. We had no issues with the audio connection in the car. Everything worked like a charm. I will definitely try to find more audio driving tours on my next adventure.Written July 27, 2023
- GreenDream20210 contributions"Easy and inexpensive"What a wonderful idea!! We loved hearing about some of the sites that we were passing and their history. They even talked about some of the animals and we did get to see an eagle. The tour guides were entertaining and the quiz questions fun. A great way to learn about our country! Can’t wait for the next Tripvia trip!Written March 24, 2021
- MmePanda0 contributionsSomething fun and different to do on our road trip.Something fun and different to do along the way! Some of the facts and information were interesting, some cheesy and some very "punny", but I like that sort of thing. Set it so it would just come on as we passed things. Got a free Starbucks drink out of it as well. I did well on their trivia questions. Worth it.Written March 20, 2021

Was not able to connect vehicle radio system to hear the tour (with or without cable). Spotify music would open and play music over the tour. Tripvia representative stated that this is a common problem for some vehicle radios. I believe this is an application problem. Was told that I could connect to radio if I had a "osz" cable to connect to radi (believe this is a head phone cable).
We had to listen to tour using iPhone speakers. We had to replay many times due to not being able to hear what was said
The tour was not in sync with our location. A couple of examples;
- We were heading South West and the tour stated that if we looked to the North East we would see.... (bad advice to instruct some one to look directly behind them when driving on hi-way)
- driving well past an interchange, tour stated that if we were to take the next exit we could go to a water fall
Tripvia offered to refund our money. I would have preferred to be advised that if you have Spotify it will overide the tour I really don't like buying something that they know will have problems with radios.

Hi there, sorry you had a poor experience.
I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean with Spotify overriding the audio. Our customer service rep may have been confused. We have never heard of this before. Could you not just turn Spotify off? You can connect your device using Bluetooth or an Aux cable. The app is setup to override any audio playing when it enters a geo-fence.
Regarding the directions.. because the tour can be taken both ways, there are times it may seem odd. You probably missed the first part in your examples. The audio would have said, "If you're heading towards Kamloops, take a look to the north east..". This only happens a few times and we agree it's not ideal, but it's better than only offering the tour in one direction or having separate points of interest.
We appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind when making revisions.

What a great trip! Took us longer than 4 hours as we stopped so many times to check out the sites and wonderful viewing spots. We loved hearing the tour guides and quiz questions, they were a bit corny but definitely entertaining and fun….even for my 10 year old son. We would recommend Tripvia for sure!
