You might be surprised to find that this isn’t actually a Revolutionary War cemetery. Instead, this is a Civil War burial ground!

We end our journey at a fitting place, the Yorktown Victory Monument. This monument was conceived soon after Cornwallis’s surrender.

The app didn’t start speaking but started 5-10 seconds into a segment, if we continued to drive it stopped so we had to park each time the section started to speak. The app didn’t provide directions so we had to turn around a few times when we took a wrong turn.

I am sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced during your tour. You may have taken a different route than the recommended one, which could have caused some disruptions. To ensure the best experience, following the given route and maintaining the suggested speed limit is essential. If you use the manual mode, please listen to the corresponding audio at each attraction. Your purchase is worth indefinitely, so you can use it for a future visit or enjoy it from the comfort of your home. If this option does not work for you, please let me know, and I will happily exchange it for any of my other 100+ self-guided tours.
