History Walking Tour - It was a great mix of tech and history. The GPS-based guide was super smooth and took me right to all the key spots without any hassle. The audio part was crystal clear and really interesting – it felt like history was happening all around me. I totally loved the tour. It was a fresh and cool way to dive into Gettysburg’s history.

Devil's Den!!! - I was completely engrossed in the rich historical significance of this remarkable site. The tour allows you to explore at your own pace, and the informative signs provide valuable insights. As someone who also took part in the Gettysburg self-guided auto tour, combining both experiences was an incredible way to immerse myself in the stories and sacrifices of the past. A truly unforgettable experience!

Worked well. Loved the experience of Devils Den - Getting a great overview of the site, and what soldiers from both armies went through. I thought the re wording was very good. I think the instructions for installing were a bit confusing though it all worked out.

Wasted time - Nothing worked...the Action yours Devils Den Action Tour rep could not fix our problems. I am trying to procure a refund since the tour was unusable. After a wasted one hour we abandoned the tour and went off on our own...never again!!!
