Fantastic Tour
"Added incredible context to what would have otherwise have been a simple drive through the fields. Listening to the descriptions, I felt like I could see the battles in front of me! It gave me chills to know that I was driving along the same path that the soldiers had taken." |
Worth every penny!!!
"Succinct but comprehensive stories of the battlefield, the generals, and the armies movements. Worked very well during the entire drive, no GPS issues or audio mishaps. Images and videos were a big help." |
"Great driving tour of Gettysburg. Everything ran smoothly. Content was excellent - very informative and entertaining. I liked that I could dive deeper for more information while my wife was perfectly happy with the high level information. Highly recommend for all levels of interest."
