Not good

Paul_A, Apr 2024

Couldn’t get it to work had to get something else much cheaper if you can please refund our money. Very hard to set up the tour then hear it had charged us for two cars your ask how many adults not cars.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Paul, I'm sorry about your experience with the Gettysburg Battlefield Audio Tour. It sounds like some issues with setup and billing definitely shouldn't have happened. The tour is priced per group, not per car, and I apologize for any confusion caused by how the pricing questions were presented. Please request a refund through Viator, and I'll ensure it's processed quickly. We're here to help if you have any other questions or need further assistance!

John_M, Jul 2023

In following the GPS directions it placed me on a one- way road going the WRONG way which was very dangerous that caused to find a place for me to make a quick U-turn! Not good!

3 hours of History

Matthew_B, Dec 2022

Was amazed at the vast open areas where the battles took place. Hard to imagine those same spaces filled with the thousands of brothers fighting with one another. Very sad.
