Arizona Bundle
We used the app when we toured Oahu. We felt that we saw everything we wanted plus extra fun there, so we decided to try the app for our family vacation to Arizona. So far, we’ve enjoyed Saguaro National Park (East and West!) and Mount Lemmon scenic drive. We love the confidence we have in where to go and what to see, and that the app takes away the concern that we might miss something important. We also love learning interesting facts about the places we visit. We will absolutely continue to use this app for future trips and we will recommend it to friends and family!
