DON'T MISS OUT ON THE BEST SIGHTS AND STORIES

The tour apps use your device’s location abilities to play the commentary AUTOMATICALLY. All you have to do is drive, listen and decide which places you want to stop at. Our tour guides have created insightful and entertaining tours of the Rockies. We’ll recommend the best places to see and some great locations that most visitors don't get to see.

CANADIAN ROCKIES GyPSy Guide

If you plan to do more driving than just the Icefields Parkway, you should consider downloading the Canadian Rockies GyPSy Guide instead. It is better value, is easier to use as it includes all 4 Rockies tours combined into 1, and even has bonus extra content. It includes:

* Icefields Parkway
* Banff Townsite Tour
* Banff Lake Louise Yolo
* Jasper National Park

If arriving in the Canadian Rockies through Calgary, it is also recommended to download the FREE Calgary to Banff tour app.

NOTES

Download the app on Wi-Fi from your network at home or use any free Wi-Fi network. Because the app is filled with audio commentary and maps, its larger than "normal" apps. Many phone/data networks may block the download because of size - so its important to download over a Wi-Fi network.

++ Continued use of GPS running in the background increases battery usage - we strongly recommend taking a cigarette style (DC outlet) car charger.
