  • Fantastic Tour of Gettysburg Battlefields

    This was a wonderful self-driving tour for Gettysburg. Getting everything set up on the phone was easy. The narration was fantastic. We really enjoyed the additional stories along the way. Directional signage for the tour route was excellent, too. It took us 4 hours to complete the tour. (We could have spent even more time but we had our dogs in the car and couldn't leave them alone for very long.) We highly recommend this driving tour!

    It was a great option traveling with our 3 boys. Was very reasonably priced and easy to use. We enjoyed that you could climb out of the car at a stop and just take your phone with you and click on the additional stories icon. Would use the app again on another vacation.

    Great experience. Learned a lot. Since we were the last trip we had the opportunity to have the Ranger share some very insightful information with us on the way back. I highly recommend this tour.

    Stuart was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent tour of the battlefield and the events leading up to the battle and throughout the three day battle as well as the aftermath. He used visual landmarks as well as some of his own making. It was a bit foggy and misty at times, but we were still able to visualize the events as though they were coming to life.

    My spouse and I visited The Gettysburg Battlefields for (2) days. We followed the advice of our great friend BT and watched the movie and visited the museum inside the visitor center upon our arrival. We purchased the downloadable audio tour in the gift shop and followed it’s instructions as we drove our Class B from stop to stop. It was incredible ! We learned so much and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We will return for sure !

  • Enjoyable audio tour with the family

    We booked this tour on a cold weekday spring morning on a stop during a longer road trip with our teenage kids. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. The audio app connected to our rental vehicle's CarPlay app and started narration as soon as we were near the appointed location. The narration included driving directions in real time so we really didn't have to pay a lot of attention to the map. We took our time moving from attraction to attraction along the guided route and let the kids decide where to linger. It was helpful to have one person drive and another person man phone app as there are lots of interesting optional side stories. It took us about 2.5 hours, but we didn't do every "sidequest". The narrator himself was engaging and gave a good idea of how the events of the battlefield unfurled over the landscape. Overall well worth the money paid.
