Gettysburg’s First Day of Battle: Seminary Ridge Trail Self-Guided Walking Tour

Overview

Welcome to the self-guided walking tour of Seminary Ridge Trail, where the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg played out!

A very complete and interesting tour. It followed the walking trail perfectly. The gps map was accurate as well and worked off line.

Extremely difficult to access. We tried Viator.com for help; after many tries, they said to contact TripAdvisor. Waste of time, waste of money. We could not access the tour we paid for. So, no tour for us. Will never deal with this company again.
