I knew nothing of the battlefield before this tour. I had NO IDEA it was so large! I live near Yorktown, Virginia and just always assumed going there would be like going to Yorktown. It was very different. The self-guided driving tour was a great intro for me and took us all over the battlefield. It has piqued my interest to learn more. There was history mixed with the ghost stories, which I absolutely loved. We only had one day to spend in Gettysburg and this was a nice, interesting way to please all members of the family.

Justin_R

My daughter loved this tour. The stories of the ghosts of Gettysburg were fascinating. The tour got a little jarbled when we got around Devils Den and our location wasn’t accurate, but otherwise, it was fun!

Shannon_T

We purchased the tour online for our visit to Gettysburg. When we got started the highlighted map on the phone, via the app, would not display, via CarPlay, on my Jeeps screen. When we did get going there were a couple of places where a story was started and not told to pull over anywhere. When we stopped at R.E. Lees monument, listened to the story we were never told to resume. We did on our own. There were 2 places where getting back on track was a bit confusing, one was at the new dorms and the other was leaving devils den and turning at wheat field rd. The Battlefield closes at Sunset, not 10:00pm as your info says.

Narrator was okay. We had a hard time getting started with the directions given. We fell this tour should not be named Ghosts of the battlefield.

Susan B

We didn’t see any ghosts, but the stories and tour was very interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of history and worth the money paid.

Ian_C

I got to see parts of the battlefield I hadn’t seen before, including Devil’s Den and I brought my gf her for her first time here in general. She really enjoyed it and like the area as a whole.

Not bad. Good information and the ghost stories were interesting. I got a little lost halfway thru, but circled around and was able to pickup where I got lost. I don't know if i would recommend it to someone traveling alone only because its hard to focus on what is being said and being able to look at the area or building you suppose to look at while driving.

The app guided us through the battlefields at our own pace!! Additionally, we were not on the same audio tour as others which allowed us to avoid many of the “crowds”. The side “ghost stories” were intertwined with the history which made it fun! Note that you need to download the app and tour first! We did so. Still took a minute to figure out that some of the stops were actually just “navigation instructions “. Overall great experience! Would definitely do this again for other tours!

very fun because we could go at our own pace when sometimes your groups can feel rushed. the other thing is once you buy it, you can go as many times as you like

It was actually good and I wasn't expecting that for the price. It was informative and accurate....but drive slow or it won't keep up with you.
