The 15 best audio tours you can book today, with what each costs, how long it takes and who it suits. Number one is first for a reason.
GPS smartphone audio for Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Lake Louise. 45 stops, trivia, no data after download, about 3 hours.
“We enjoyed all the facts around the lakes and naming of the peaks. The quizzes were fun. Suggestion— add music between narratives with Canadian artists. It would be better than dead air”
A GPS-triggered smartphone audio drive of the Cabot Trail with offline-friendly narration, history stops, and scenic pull-offs for your whole car.
“When the audio files played out of sequence it took awhile to correct. Most of it played properly. It adds a great deal to a driving trip to play a GPS triggered guide app.”
Skip the hassle bundle for Niagara Falls, Skylon Tower, and Tesla audio on your phone, with e-voucher entry and ponchos.
“Guide was not at the meeting place, was given instructions to go to a different location and no guide there either. Called company only to get voicemail and no return call”
Self-guided Sea to Sky audio drive from Vancouver to Whistler. GPS-triggered narration, 28 stops, lifetime app access.
“Great way to learn a little whilst being in charge of your schedule. We enjoyed the commentary style - a mix of informative and corny humour.”
A self-paced smartphone audio walk through Halifax churches, gardens, and graveyards, with GPS guidance and optional location trivia.
“Enjoyed learning more about the amazing history of Halifax! Seeing the sights and finding more out about the people and events that shaped Halifax was wonderful. We enjoyed the leisurely pace we could explore the city with the audio walking tour app.”
Self-guided GPS audio tour along Alberta’s Icefields Parkway with offline narration, glacier viewpoints, and flexible stops for up to 8.
“This audio guide worked brilliantly on our recent trip. I'd downloaded it all before hand (app and tour) and it worked seamlessly once we arrived at the start of the tour and throughout. We learnt lots more about the area from 'The Dude' that really added to our experience - made a couple of stops that we might otherwise have driven past. Would definitely recommend and a bargain at £10. We used it both heading North and then again the next day when driving back South down the parkway.”
English and German self-driving audio guide for Western Canada, with GPS, auto-play, and city and Rocky Mountain stories for up to 9 people.
GPS smartphone audio walk along Halifax’s waterfront from Pier 21 to Market Mall with trivia, flexible pacing, and CSS Acadia highlights.
“Downloading the map was straight forward. The information provided in the audio was interesting. The downside for us is the audio 1. Would auto advance as we approached each site. 2. The app would freeze up and we had to keep closing the app, relaunch, and scroll through to find where we left off.”
Montreal audio-guided art museum tour in a 1879 Griffintown building. See resident artists, 19th-century paintings, wax figures.
“c’est original et curieux d’entrer dans un atelier d’artistes”
GPS-triggered audio drives from Banff to Jasper with 520 story points, offline listening, flexible routing, and big Rockies hits at your pace.
“We’ve toured so many places on our own. I honestly didn’t want to get this but my wife thought it wouldn’t hurt if we needed it (Banff vacation; our first time there). We loved it. Great information, amazing navigation and enjoyable to listen to. Really cool technology that works to take stress out of the vacation experience.”
Smartphone audio driving tour between Lake Louise and Calgary with 44 stop stories, quizzes, and no data needed after download.
“Surprised we actually had a fantastic tour. Traveling at the pace we wanted and being able to stop when we wanted. The whole experience left us wanting more.”
Niagara Falls 5 Attraction Pass with WEGO buses, Incline Railway, and downloadable audio guide, covering top parks sights in 2 days.
“Overall our holiday was amazing 2nd year in a row coming to Canada. Definitely the highlight of this trip was Niagra falls just stunning!!”
Self-guided Lake Louise audio hike to Lake Agnes Tea House with offline GPS, a 7 km trail, and private no-crowd vibes for $8.22.
“The phone app doesn’t work. Great hike. Always inclining and towards the end quite rocky. Beautiful scenery”
Explore Banff at your pace with an offline smartphone audio walk, GPS navigation, flexible start times, and a fun trivia game for low cost.
“Good descriptions, but it would have been very helpful to have had a map with the streets. One map, all the stop buttons, but not helpful to be sure we were in the right place. Like the concept and would use again in another city.”
Self-guided audio walk in Banff through Cave and Basin, Bow River views, and Sulphur Mountain, with offline maps for $9.99.
“This is NOT a walking tour. Its a narration to accompany the walk for which you pay separately. There are descriptive signs and rangers along the way. There are also additional fees to enter the cave and the hot springs.”
Six time zones of days out, sorted by the kind of day.
