It was a cool Autumn day to drive the route. The directions were easy to follow. We were able to travel at our own speed; taking our time to absorb the information at each stop. We were able to stop at the Visitor Center for an extended period of time and were able to return to audio tour without difficulty.

My family & I had such a fantastic time in Gettysburg and this tour app really helped us learn about the battle and more! The narrator was great. I would highly recommend it!!
