Gettysburg Battlefield Self-guided Driving Audio Tour

Was a very thorough and thoughtful way to experience this vast importance area. It brought the stories to life and was very easy to follow

It’s complicated and confusing to sign up. Maybe I’m not smart enough. Your better off looking elsewhere

We enjoyed the tour, especially because we could view everything at our own pace.

The self-guided audio driving tour was a blast. Being able to go at our own pace and stopping to get out and explore was extremely convenient. There were multiple areas where it was also recommended to get out a walk. The guide was easy to follow and even let us know when we made a wrong turn and how to get back on course. We did take the recommendation of downloading and getting familiar with the app at our Airbnb prior to the trip. Once we got to one of the multiple start points, we still had to play around with it for just a few mins to get the hang of it. however, after only 3-4 mins we were set !

The audio tour is longer than three hours if you get out of the car and walk around and listen to alll the more options.

Very enjoyable way to experience the battle field auto tour from the comfort of your own car and at your own pace.

I highly recommend the Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour By Action Day Trips! It’s the perfect way to enjoy the battlefield park by car! The narrator’s voice was clear and concise, and it was very easy to install and use the app. You are completely in control of the pace of your auto tour, and there are many interesting key points. The price was extremely budget friendly, as well. I will definitely consider using more of these auto tours on future trips!

The tour went very well! We were able to leave the tour several times and resume without issue. The only issue that we experienced was at times the directions were a bit slow. Overall it was an informative & interesting tour!

I love the fact you can do this tour on your time. No rushing because of tour time constraints. Stop and walk as long as you want. The app picks back up where you left off.

Great tour. Organized and easy to follow. Lots of options for additional segments if you want to really dive into the history.

I was skeptical about a self guided tour but it was great. Could go at our own pace.

Very knowledgeable and the GPS tracking og the tour was spot-on.

Easy to use and great information. Highly recommend. Can go at own pace. Was rainy when we went so we mostly drove with few stops.

Tour guide was very nice and familiar with the area. It was just hard to follow her tour because she would switch between the topics she was talking about. We would be talking about one topic she would pause and say she forgot what she was talking about and then go to something completely different. I booked this tour under the assumption we would be doing an active investigation as a group. The tour guide walked us out to in front of an entrance to get in the battlefield. Told us not to go past the gate because she would get fined. She handed our whole group dowsing rods and then walked away to look at her phone. Everyone looked confused and half of our group left before the tour was over. I’m disappointed I spent over 60$ on this tour.

Was very easy to use. Great way to visit Gettysburg with good history given. Very helpful to be able to stop and go along the way and the tour just resumes automatically. Very impressed. First time using this type of tour. Will definitely use this again when visiting other places.

Fantastic!!!! We found it educational, relaxing, and fun for us all. We moved at our own pace and that was a huge bonus! Great stories and descriptions

Thus self guided auto tour exceeded my expectations! It synced perfectly with the stops and gave great information! It took my son and I about 4 hours from start to finish, but we got out at a lot of the stops and looked around. I would highly recommend this tour!

We enjoyed being able to use this to see the battlefield at our own pace. We didn’t have the 2-3 hours it would have taken to see the entire battlefield and all the landmarks but saw the highlights using this tour.

Great tour! The first 2 or 3 stops of the tour the narrator and where we were located were not in sync. It adjusted after we backed up a few times and then the tour was spot on.

Never able to get the audio.. there you go again turning my simple answer into a convoluted process,

Waste of money, pain to download, stopped working, GPS not connecting. Worked for a couple of minutes then errors. Customer service was impatient, had to understand.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well using this GPS tour worked out. It was very accurate and informative...and allowed going at your own pace. Very well done. Highly recommend!

So thorough! Very educational and gave specific driving directions. My kids enjoyed as well. I love that we can go back and re-listen at a later time. We homeschool, and it’s perfect!

The tour was great. It took a little while to get started, but once it was ironed out it was wonderful.

Great value for your money. Took our time looking at the monuments.

Very detailed. It gives you a good insight into the battle and how it unfolded throughout the three days.

The Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour by Action Day Trips was an excellent way to explore the area where the decisive battle in the Civil War took place. Heeding the advice of other reviewers we downloaded the tour in advance having strong internet access. The tour takes advantage of modern technologies that some might struggle with, but once begun, it worked quite well. We liked that we could spend as much or as little time at each stop. We liked the freedom of being able to park (at well defined parking areas) and get out without waiting for a bus to empty. One reviewer mentioned a picnic area about half-way, but we got there too soon. So we ate later in our car parked at Devil's Den. I only made one wrong turn, but it was easy to get back on the route. Highly recommended.

The person giving the audio guide did a very good job. I learned a lot of new information about Gettysburg

Excellent history of the battlefields. Worth the driving tour.

I really enjoyed the tour. The guide/narrator was very informative and engaging, even with it being a pre recorded tour. There were a lot of interesting stories about each point of interest on the route and I would 100% recommend and do this tour again.

Very easy to use and fun to listen to while we drove around Gettysburg at our own pace. I loved that it would pick up where we left off when we took a break to look around some sights. Highly recommend if you want some additional info without having to book a group tour.

The driving tour was a bust. Couldn’t get it . The operator was no help and only added to the problem because he would not listen to what I told him and I had trouble understanding him.

I’m 80 years old need a little help signing in but the staff at the information center helped me connect. It was a little difficult at the start. Had to circle the block once and then got going after that easy Peezy.

It is good turn by turn directions. It is hard to listen to the explanation and watch the road at the same time.

My mom (71 with mobility issues), my son (17 and a huge history buff) and I did the tour. It was amazing we all really nejoyed it. We never left the car though there were plenty of places you could get out and walk around though if you chose not to could just pull over listen for a but and then continue. I regret not taking more pictures but it was amazing and I would reccomend it to anyone but especially people with mobility issues. I shared it with my sister-in-law they have a beby, 3 yr and 10 yr old and they also loved it becuase she could stay in the car with the younger children or just the baby and her hisband and the 10 yr old could get out and exploere certai areas.

The Auto Tour was amazing! It was so nice to be in the comfort of our own car and go at the pace that we wanted. Our tour ended up taking us 3 hours, but could've taken us a lot longer or been shorter. The stories that went along with it were some that we had never heard before. We also loved that there were Auto Tour signs, so we knew we were going the correct way. Would definitely book this again!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the self guided tour to the sites of the Gettysburg battle. It was easy to download the app and access the tour. It provided turn by turn directions allowing us to see everything. Neither my husband nor I are history buffs. The self guided tour provided information that was understandable and extremely informative. Since we took our time, it took us close to four hours. This extra time allowed us to get out and take a look at things. The self guided tour doesn’t jump ahead and allows you that time. The narrator’s voice is pleasant. We enjoyed when he talked in character such as the Irish pastor. We would recommend this self guided tour.

I bought the Gettysburg audio tour to share with my sister on a road trip. It was worth every penny I paid for it! The narration worked perfectly with our GPS so facts, stories and especially directions came thru in a very timely manner. We really enjoyed the mix of factual explanation of the battles with interesting little tidbit stories about the soldiers.

It was a great experience and will do self guided tours in the future.

I did the tour with my Mom and 16 yr old son. It was excellent allowed to experience the battlefield with narrative and get out at places if we wanted.

I'm a Civil War buff so it shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that I have visited the famous Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg on 10 occasions. It was a three-day battle, on July 1-3, 1863, so I encourage anyone who asks to spend three days there, to be sure to see all of the historical sites. First, decide how you want to tour the 6,000-acre battlefield. Hire a licensed ranger/guide? Take a self-guided audio tour? Go with a guided bus tour? My choice? Purchase an audio tour that covers all parts of the battlefield and go it alone, taking your time along the way to soak up all the history, walking in the footsteps of Robert E. Lee, George Meade, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Dan Sickles, James Longstreet, George Pickett, Jeb Stuart, George Armstrong Custer, John Buford and Winfield Scott Hancock. But read about the battle before you go. Know something about the battle, Lee's motives, Meade's strategy, Pickett's charge, why the battle took place at Gettysburg in the first place. See where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. The audio tour begins in McPherson's Woods, where Union General John Reynolds was killed. Make stops at the Railroad Cut, Oak Ridge, Barlow's Knoll, Seminary Ridge, Little Round Top, Devil's Den and the Valley of Death, Plum Run, the Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, Culp's Hill, Cemetery Hill, Cemetery Ridge, the Copse of Trees, the Angle, Power's Hill and East Cavalry Field. Visit Lee's headquarters. And the tiny farmhouse where Meade met with his staff to decide whether to retreat or stay and fight on the third day. It was the decisive moment of the most decisive battle of the Civil War. The battlefield has been preserved as it was on those fateful days, 163 years ago. Walking here and there, you can almost hear the sound of the guns.

Great narrative and very easy to follow.

The car tour was informative, but you definitely need to start at the beginning even though it tells you that it is okay to start anywhere because it follows the battles by Day 1 to Day 3

Easy to follow and good narration. We didn’t have enough time unfortunately.

The GPS location was spotty during the first third of the tour, leading to some wrong turns. The route and tour was enjoyable and informative but with only a bit of research you could certainly tour the battlefield without its guidance. Most grating was its intrusive, politically correct preaching, lauding the Union cause and damning the Confederates for their "immorality". Pretty out-of-place for a historical site which has, for a very long time, been noted for its even-handedness, spirit of reconciliation and honor towards the bravery of the one-time enemy. This George Floyd era wokeness is offensive and, I would venture, not the kind of history or politics most visitors to Gettysburg would share.

We've never been to Gettysburg before and didn't realize the battlefield is spread out for miles around the town. This was a great way to get an overview of the history of the battle. Very clear audio instructions.

Driving at your own pace and being able to enjoy the history was a great experience. We have a really enjoyable time.

During the 1st day portion porta potty are not to be found. However once you begin the 2nd day and after little round top they start to pop up.

I really liked all the facts and that we could travel at our own pace. Especially with kids. I really enjoyed my experience! As did my kids!
