Energetic and informative, though not too much. Corn field trail was nice. The tower and bridge are the two other big stops. We got lost at one point, not sure why. Recording started skipping around a lot after that.

Enjoyed this quite a lot! I did a Tour at another battlefield with a Licensed Battlefield Guide, which I enjoyed just a smidge more :) No complaints! This was a great (and more affordable!) way to get to enjoy my time at a battlefield & understand what was happening where. And hear stories and anecdotes about distinct locations there.

This was a good audio tour if you only need to know the basics of the battle, or if you are there with kids. It was a bit difficult to not get ahead of the audio when driving, but it was easy enough to go back if it skipped forward. If I had to do it over, I probably would have booked a guide for a more in-depth experience. That being said, this tour is worth the price paid.
