Great Overview of the Battles of Gettysburg
Kelly_C
, Jul 2022
The app worked great and was very informative.once We started our day at the National Military Park Visitors Center and checked out the film and museum and then used the app to tour the area. It was nice to be able to stop and go as we pleased and we even broke in the middle of the tour for lunch. Was just what we were looking for.
Good tour

Lots of information. I found it hard to pay attention at times due to the driving aspect. A few of the roads weren’t clearly labeled so a few turns were missed. Good into to Gettysburg though.
Great experience

The views of the battlefield and fences memorized me. Hearing the true story while looking over the fields or cliffs helped picture what really happened on those three days of battle.

Disappointing app

The app kept resetting itself to the beginning. Stopped using it after we were directed to a detour around stop 12(?) and another reset occurred and we were lost.

The narrative was a great way to see the entire site. We were able to experience it in the comfort of our car. It was difficult finding the start.
Love Gettysburg!

, Jun 2022
This was great! We went at our own pace, took a break for lunch, walked around and then went back to continue! We didn’t feel rushed and didn’t have to sit with a bunch of strangers, I’m sure the guided bus tour was great too but this was way better!
The auto tour

I think the seminary tour was the best. It is a good way to end the tour to appreciate everything that you've learned on the driving tour
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Thanks, Regina, it’s great to get some love for the Seminary Ridge tour! As a smaller, more specific, walking tour, it’s often overlooked because of the focus on the overall battlefield — but it tells the stories of some amazing individuals! I hope you try out my other tours on your future travels!

Good technology and information, but a bit confusing at times, especially how to get started.
Wasn't sure where the beginning was and sometimes we felt confused.
Gettysburg self-guided driving tour

, Jun 2022
This was our first tour with an Action TourGuide app, and once we got the hang of it, it worked very well. We highly recommend starting the day at the Visitors Center with the film, Cyclorama and museum.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
That’s great to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and the app. Another great option to begin the day is the Gettysburg Heritage Center (museum, movie, gift shop, and superb staff) and it has the added benefit of being the starting point of the tour! I hope you give my other tours a try on your future trips!
Rough start but great experience
Melissa_A
, May 2022
I was a little frustrated at first when trying to get it started because it didn't start where we were. It was mostly user error for that part. It did great picking up where we were and going from there. So my tour started in the middle but was able to do the complete tour even if it didn't start at the beginning. Loved the narration and would have loved to have a little more personal stories, loved the statue and story that included the dog.
Information good but a lot of technical difficulties
Alissa_F
, May 2022
They kept not knowing where we were and we kept getting lost. So it ruined it for us. This is very annoying

Once we found the starting point, everything ran smoothly. The tour shared information and took us last places that I know we would have missed if we had done the tour on our own.
Fun day at Gettysburg

, May 2022
Amazing. Great info and pacing. The tour allows you to pause, get out, explore, and get back in the car and continue without missing a beat. It's like having a professional tour guide right there with you.
Educational and beautiful
Melinda_W
, May 2022
It was all very interesting and educational. The battlefield is beautiful and really made one feel the realness of the Civil War. We enjoyed being able to follow the app and listen to the info.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
That’s so great to hear! Gettysburg was a pivotal battle during the Civil War. I'm delighted we were able to give your battlefield knowledge a little more depth, and I'm so glad that you had such a good time on my self-guided tour. I hope you'll try some of my other self-guided tours the next time you travel!

The app was an excellent guide and it was easy to follow. At each point it was very informative. I would highly recommend the app as it is a fantastic value at $9.99.
Walking in the steps of history
Kevin_B

Standing on this hallowed ground and trying to imagine what these combatants were experiencing. Knowing you were standing in the footsteps of these Americans all.
Waste of time.
WILLIAM_P
, May 2022
Being totally frustrated and driving in circles. Wasn't clear on starting point, so would have to click on directions, which takes you out of the app and into Google maps.
This happened all day. Wasted so much time trying to figure it out and we are not stupid people.
Definitely taking bus tour next time.
Also found out the visitors center has free auto tour app. Maybe that would have been better.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
