I liked this tour. I appreciated that the app allowed downloading and I was able to listen offline, as we were out of the country and had no cell service. The ability to go at your own pace and see each of the stops was nice. Would recommend.

Peggy's cove was lovely and the guide, Ethan, had great stories to teach us along the way. Great experience.
