Not great experience
Not the easiest. You need to download additional apps. The GPS and naration do not run properly together
Response from the operator: Hi! What type of phone do you use? I'd love to look into this, 1000's take our tours and I have not heard the audio did not match up before. I'm guessing you clicked "Virutal Mode" and not on location? On location uses the GPS features to play as you drive. Virtual just plays the audio (so you can hear it anytime). In any case, I'm happy to refund you. As mentioned 1000's take our tours and have great experiences, so I'm sorry it did not work out for you.. Please do share more at info@walkntours.com, and I'll look into it. And if you want a refund just let me know, Thanks! Greg @ WalknTours

Would use again
It was difficult to start at first if you wanted to begin in a different area. Once it got you to your destination the guide on the app was great and stayed with you where you went. Would definitely use again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review and using the WalknTours app! I grew up in PA and love sharing the stories! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Good tip, the stories play as you drive and starting from the start is the best experience. Look for our tours in 270 plus destinations when you gravel, like Gettysburg! Greg @ WalknTours

glitches
the app was very clumsy, and constantly "reset". frustrating. hard to navigate. good info, just hard to use
via Viator
Good tour
It was a good guided tour. It would be a bit better if the app actually synced with Apple car play, as it was a bit cumbersome when getting out to do the tour and getting back in the car to continue.

Convenient and informative tour!
We decided to visit Gettysburg enroute from Hershey to D.C,, so a driving tour was very convenient. This auto tour on this app by WalkinTours was so informative, easy to follow, and had perfect directions. It hit all the major sights, and you decide which ones you’ll get out and explore. It took us approximately 4 hours to get through the entire itinerary, and we didn’t get out of the car for a few of the stops. I highly recommend this experience, and if you can, go to the visitors center before this tour.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $13 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gettysburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gettysburg is not rushed.
Is Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gettysburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gettysburg and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gettysburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gettysburg?
+
Gettysburg is a guide town: licensed battlefield guides in your own car, bus and horseback battlefield tours, ghost lantern walks and museum entries covering the three-day battle. On Outty we rank every Gettysburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour with a National Park Guide, Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg, Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gettysburg?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gettysburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
