History buff. Presentation was rudimentary but excellent for first timers. Trouble getting gps to work immediately. Disappointed in not seeing little round top because of detours.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Thanks so much Lawrence! I'm thrilled that my tour of Gettysburg Battlefield added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. Little Round Top is really a famed section of the Gettysburg battlefield and it will be closed for the entire year as part of a rehabilitation project to address overcrowded parking spots, accessibility issues, erosion, and degraded vegetation. The tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit also. In addition, I have 100 other tours in the USA. Please check them out on your next vacation.

It was a great experience to be able to see all of the monuments and here all of the history. The only issue I have is the end of the tour it tried to make us go down the wrong way on a one way street.

I was very upset that the tour had a detour and we couldn't get up to Little Round Top. We got very confused.

Loved the great, self paced information provided. Going early on a July morning was pretty quiet, and also cool before the heat of the day. Great value.

we had a wonderful time the program we used was fantastic , loved how at each stop it gave a history lesson on what we were looking at Very cool. couldn't have asked for better weather . every trip we've taken to the battlefield has been a great experience.
Great experience learned a lot

Experience was great, being able to listen to the recording right on cur to where we drove helped. a lot. The only down fall, not from this website, was a huge portion of the raid we missed because it was closed. I think road repair. it sure could not see.. We had to find our own detour and work around to get back in the path.

We were able to visit the various points on the battlefield at our own pace. If we got off track it was a little challenging to get back on the tour.
Great way to experience Gettysburg

Being able to do the driving tour in the convenience of our car. It was really interesting to hear about the battle. I didn't know this was the most deadliest bloodiest battles of all wars!

Our trip was memorable, using this tour/app will have us recalling many years from now, "Remember how unfriendly and frustrating this app was?"

Made you feel like you there
Donald_D

Extremely detailed tour. Very well done and narrated. My kids commented that it made them feel like they were actually part of the battle. It was a little long but only because we wanted to see everything. It took about 3-1/2 hours.
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.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
