Great value and easy to use! - Was easy to use. Had both historical and ghostly stories. Very cool! We were able to do part of the tour one day and then pick up where we left off at easily the next day.

Ghost tour 10/10 - Ghost tour was great, it rained and our tour guide Jordan made the best out of the situation. We learned a lot and had a fun time. Would recommend to anyone looking for something to do in Gettysburg.

Fun and smart way to explore the battlefield - Very easy to use and directions were simple to follow. It took a minute to figure out how it worked but after we got to the first location it started on its own. This tour was excellent because it combined the historical significance of the locations around Gettysburg, but also wove in stories of hauntings and creepy stories. This was a way to do the history tour without too much of the war and battle explanations, which aren’t everyone’s thing. I liked how it instructed you to park and then just stopped playing until you’re driving at a new location. We got to go the entire way at our own pace and explore when we wanted to. WAY better than a guided walking tour in the summer heat!!

Give It A Go - It was a good tour that was very informative. Sometimes it did get a little hooky but all in all well worth it.

Eh - What worked was nice. And we saw parts we hadn’t earlier. However, the download was confusing to use and the map didn’t really follow the numbers so we missed 1/2 of it maybe.

Just ok - We had a hard time starting the tour. Once it started it was difficult to navigate correctly. Overall it was just ok.

More History lesson than ghost tour - I was very excited about this tour based on the reviews, but honestly it wasn’t very good. This really wasn’t much of a ghost tour, rather more of a history lesson with little bits of ghost stories sprinkled in. Normally I would have enjoyed that personally, but the party I was with wanted more haunted stories than history. When it comes to all the 30 something points where there’s audio input, we expected a lot more stories. It seemed like about 60%-70% of them were just directions. The actual tour with stories didn’t even start until around stop 13 or so. Also, how was Sachs’ Bridge not a part of this tour?! Considering how active the hauntings are supposed to be there, I was shocked it was not included! Lastly, the tour specifically says to drive 25 mph throughout the drive. Mainly because if you got to the next location too fast, it would cut off the last story and begin with the next one. So we assumed that there would be stories playing for the majority of the drive, being timed out appropriately for very little down time. We were very disappointed to find out that was not the case at all. So in conclusion, if you want a real ghost tour, look elsewhere. If you want a basic history lesson with some mild spookiness to it, then this could be up your alley.

Not worth the money! - First of all I want to say that we have been to Gettysburg MANY times. This audio tour was a ghosts of Gettysburg tour and we didn’t feel we got much of that. The main thing we didn’t like was that we felt that it was very difficult to get to the start of the tour because there were TWO different Gettysburg Heritage Centers. Of course we went to the wrong one at first. I don’t think I’d do this audio tour again. I think you could find much better info about ghost sightings, etc online or on YouTube.

Needs some work - The driving directions need some major work. For example it would tell us to turn left from the parking lot and then nothing else. After experiencing these a few times we just deleted the app. A few stories and sites we actually made it to was interesting and informative
