What To Expect
1
Gettysburg Heritage Center
A visit to the Gettysburg Battlefield is not complete without stopping at the Gettysburg Heritage Center Museum. The tour begins at either the Heritage Center or the National Park Visitor Center. If you’re not at either location yet, head over now. From there, we’ll follow the official Auto Tour route.
2
Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center
Embark on this journey into the past at the Gettysburg Visitor Center! Get ready to be transported right into the middle of the battlefield... both in time and space. As we begin driving along the Gettysburg Battlefield Auto Road, we step back in time to the eve of battle. Who are the combatants? The generals? What are they fighting for? Why? We'll dive into the history of the United States of America up to the point of the Civil War. That'll help us understand what made Gettysburg such a poignant battle, and why a victory here was so important.
3
Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center
Our journey continues along the Gettysburg Auto Road as evening descends on the first day of battle. Union soldiers have paid heavily and lost ground. Is there any hope of success? We'll explore the various plans and strategies the generals come up with as they bunker down after the first day.
4
The Eternal Light Peace Memorial
As we drive, we'll pass the first of many memorials at Gettysburg - the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. This memorial commemorates the reunification of the United States. Maine granite forms the base, while Alabama limestone forms the pillar -- a symbolic unification of north and south.
5
Eisenhower National Historic Site
Here we can take an optional detour off of the Gettysburg Auto Road to visit the Eisenhower National Historic Site, which overlooks the battlefield. President Eisenhower often stayed here.
6
Little Round Top
Our drive passes Little Round Top, a critical skirmish site on the second day. Here Union soldiers just barely hold off Confederate troops, maintaining their control of this strategic hill. As we drive around the hill, we'll cross the Valley of Death -- an appropriate name for the site of such a bloody skirmish.
7
State of Pennsylvania Monument
Our path brings us to the Pennsylvania Memorial. This monument commemorates the nearly 35,000 Pennsylvanian soldiers who fought in this battle. While the stakes were high for everyone, they were particularly intense for these men of Pennsylvania: they weren’t fighting for an abstract idea, they were fighting for their very state.
8
High Water Mark of the Rebellion Monument
The high-water mark of the Confederacy refers to an area on Cemetery Ridge near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, marking the farthest point reached by Confederate forces during Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863.Similar to a high water mark of water, the term is a reference to arguably the Confederate Army's best chance of achieving victory in the war. The line of advance was east of "The Angle" stone wall.

Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm thrilled that my tour added to your learning and that you and your wife enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites all over the country — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

The audio tour via smartphone was essentially unuseable. For example, we asked for directions to the start of the tour. When we arrived at the designated spot, the tour would not start, telling us we were not at the start. We requested additional directions, which entailed moving about 100 ft. This continued multiple times. Once the software accepted that we were at the start, some audio was provided. But, most of the information was written and had to be read. Not what we expected. We should have used the NPS Tours, but we relied on Trip Advisor recommendation. Very disappointed.

When you reach the starting point, the audio stories play automatically based on your GPS. After you start moving, it continues to sense your GPS and auto-plays stories as you pass by attractions. I designed this app after studying the NPS app. NPS app does not sense GPS v/s this app works based on the GPS and auto-plays the stories. The NPS app does not auto-play, so it is not simple. This app also shows the images of the monument when it tells and tells its story. This app has triple the number of reports compared to the NPS app. I would happily exchange this tour with any of my other 100 tours in the US. I am also available for any questions by call, chat, or email. All my tours are yours for lifetime use. You can review it at home, use it for the photo library or use it on your next trip.

This self-guided tour was pretty amazing. The narration was excellent and the accompanying facts and stories were well done. I had to knock a star off of my review because it was tricky at times figuring out the route. I’m thinking the GPS wasn’t syncing properly with the route OR the detour around Devil’s Den and the areas being rehabbed was throwing it off. I can also see where people could have a hard time if they were not quite savvy with mobile apps. I really like that you could explore on your own and that you could download a few other tours AND keep them forever! I intend to go back and explore again with this self guided tour and also tackle the walking tours! Great “bang for your bucks”!
