Great self driving Gettysburg Tour! Lots to see and learn. Love the ‘side’ stories. They bring more meaning to each Stop along the way.

Highly recommend! It gives you the freedom to tour Gettysburg battlefields on your own time in your own car. The app worked great! The GPS would start narrating about specific places of interest. A lot of very interesting information.

We absolutely loved the Gettysburg audio tour. Using the app made everything incredibly easy and convenient—the directions guided us step-by-step through the entire national park, so we never had to worry about getting lost or missing an important stop. The self-paced format was perfect, allowing us to take our time, explore each site, and really absorb the history without feeling rushed. The narration was clear, informative, and full of fascinating details that brought the battle to life in a way we didn’t expect. Overall, it was a wonderful learning experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

First time I’ve done a self driving audio tour. It takes a while to get the hang of it, don’t give up, it works great once you figure it out.

We were originally planning on taking a bus tour but decided on this instead. We’re so glad that we did. We drive a camper van and it was perfect. We were able to stop wherever we wanted and travel at our own pace. The access to the tour app was easy and the price point was great. We both really enjoyed the historic knowledge.

The tour was a very eye opening experience. So much to see and learn. Disappointed with the audio tour. As it did not do what it was supposed to and I kept having to restart the audio. Finally gave up on it and just drove the tour using the markers.

This was a really fun way to experience the battlefield as a family. We could go at our own pace. We really enjoyed the commentary along the way. The app is helpful, it tells you where to go and which way to turn etc. As many times as we have been through Gettysburg we never took a tour. This was a fun and easy way of doing it. We saw a lot of things that we never even knew were around.

Very informative auto tour. We love the narrator. He was great to listen to. We would definitely use again.
