A must-see
You've seen the photos and definitely take the time to explore Devil's Den. You can truly feel the scars of the battle. The area was larger than I imagined.
Response from the operator: Beth, thank you for taking my Gettysburg: Devil’s Den self-guided walking audio tour! I’m so glad you took the time to explore the area up close and felt the history there—it really is larger and more powerful than photos can show. My audio tours are valid forever and work offline once downloaded, so you can revisit them anytime at your own pace. Happy exploring!

Plan according to the...
Plan according to the weather. It was definitely hot walking through the area. You can see some from driving, but you miss a lot that way
Response from the operator: Crystal, thank you for taking my Gettysburg: Devil’s Den GPS walking audio tour. I’m glad it helped you see more than you would from the road, and your weather tip is very helpful for future visitors. My tour is valid forever, so you can always revisit in different weather and enjoy it again at your own pace. For more Gettysburg exploration, check out my Ultimate Gettysburg Bundle. Happy travels!

Devil’s Den
We loved the experience but the audio was challenging. If you want to learn more about the Civil War battles this is for you. Seeing and experiencing this makes everything we learned in school come alive.
Response from the operator: Kathryn, I’m so glad to hear you loved my Gettysburg: Devil’s Den GPS Walking Audio Tour and that it helped bring the Civil War history you learned in school to life. I’m sorry to hear the audio was challenging at times — could you let me know which part was difficult? Was it the volume, GPS triggering, or setup process? Please feel free to reach out anytime — I’m available daily from 9 AM–6 PM EST.

Just Right for a Self-Guided Tour
My husband and I got this tour because we wanted to explore Devil’s Den. We found it very informative! It took us to some of the nearby monuments around the Den. Even took us off the beaten path for a different view of Little Round Top. It took about 30 minutes, which was perfect for us.
Response from the operator: I’m glad to hear my Gettysburg: Devil’s Den GPS Walking Tour was just right for your visit and helped you explore the area at your own pace. It’s great that you found it informative, enjoyed seeing the nearby monuments, and appreciated the off-the-beaten-path view of Little Round Top. I’m also happy the 30-minute length worked perfectly for you. I’d love for you to try my Ultimate Gettysburg Battlefield Audio Tours, which include Ghosts of the Battlefield, Devil’s Den, Seminary Ridge, and the Gettysburg Battlefield tour in a single bundle. Happy exploring!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gettysburg: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Gettysburg: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.3 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: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 16 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: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking 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: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gettysburg: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 6 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 0.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gettysburg: Devil’s Den Self-Guided Walking 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.
