5.00We found it a bit fiddly to connect to our hire car but that's because we hadn't done it before. It was very informative and the music had us whistling Yankee dodle dandy for the rest of the day. It was also good that if we didn't want to stop at a particular stop it skipped forward automatically.
Excellent.

5.00A great way to see all of the key points of Gettysburg Military Park at your own pace while enjoying all of the stories behind it. You can stop as often as you like and spend as much time as you want at each point. Took us about 4 hours and enjoyed every minute. Very easy turn by turn instructions to get around. Already looking into other tours we may be able to do near us in the future.
Great free tour offered by the Park Service

5.00This is a great free tour offered by the park service. You tube in and it tells you all about the next stop. It was a bear to download but worked perfectly one we started. Highly recommend!

5.00There is so much to see here! Pay the extra fee to see the movie and Cyclorama before heading out to the battlefield, it will add a lot to the tour. There is also an audio tour on the NPS app. Amazing walk through history, including the site where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg address at the Cemetery.
Good experience
