Description
Welcome to the narrated driving tour of the Battle of Gettysburg, the most important battle of the Civil War!
Gettysburg Battlefield:
Explore Gettysburg, one of the most important battles in one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history: the Civil War. Here, Union forces staged a nearly impossible defense against Confederate attackers--and won! Walk in the footsteps of Civil War soldiers, re-live the battle strategies of the key Gettysburg generals, and embark on an adventure that brings this historic three-day battle to life.
Follow the Official National Park Service’s Auto Tour route from the convenience and flexibility of your own car. As you drive, audio stories will automatically pop up and start playing.
As you journey through the battlefield, you’ll also journey through time — following the harrowing events of the 3-day battle, as the two generals tried to outsmart and outmaneuver the other. You’ll learn about the bravery and humanity of individual soldiers. Best of all, you’ll visit Little Round Top, Pickett’s Charge, and the site of President Lincoln’s historic Gettysburg Address.
Are you ready to turn your phone into a personal tour guide? This app offers a fully-guided experience of the historic Gettysburg Battlefield — just like a local giving you a personalized, turn-by-turn, fully-guided tour.

Ratings and Reviews
Worked Great!
I have an iPhone XR and the Gettysburg Driving Tour app and Gettysburg Story app did not work for me when I tried to start the audio tour in Gettysburg. The issue was the navigation feature didn’t work (i.e. the applicable tour stop audio didn’t start playing automatically while driving despite enabling location services). I frantically downloaded this app and it worked just as I was hoping! Save your time from downloading the other apps even though they have more reviews. I just got back from Gettysburg and this app made my trip really special. Thanks to the app developers for delivering on what they promised!

We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the review!
Great Ghost Tour
February 2021: We did the Ghost Tour, it did take about 3 hours as it said. We found it very interesting and enjoyable. Definitely worth the download. The GPS functionality was spot on, and the stories were riveting. I don’t know if it’s possible to actually note on the map where some of the locations in the audio are, so you know where exactly to look. That’s the only suggestion I had, since I don’t know which compass direction I’m looking, or if there’s more than 1 building you’re near/viewing.
Update: the last few months (since late summer 2021) I can’t even get the app to open. It flashes the Lincoln pic, then crashes. Yes, I update my apps so please don’t tell me to update and it’ll be ok. It is updated. Running iOS 15 now I think, but the app stopped working before with the iOS 14. Please fix as I have paid for some of the included tours and now I can’t use them.

Thank you! So thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Gettysburg Ghost tour! We will be working on your suggestions. Thanks for the review..
Update: please delete the entire app, redownload, go to the menu, and hit “Restore”. All purchased tours should reappear, and be fully updated to the latest versions. If that doesn’t work, use the Contact Us button in the menu and we will help in more detail (we’re available nearly 24/7).
Just OK - use the NPS app instead.
Had a so-so experience with this app. The narrator is wonderful, but the functionality of the app itself needs some work. It crashed several times throughout our trip and it was difficult to get back to where we left off. The map was also rudimentary in places with crudely drawn arrows and notes. Even though we were going below the speed limit we had frequent issues where a story would cut off and skip to the next one.
When it works, the app is great. There were just too many hiccups that prevent me from recommending this to others.
We had full service I used an iPhone 11. After the trip we realized that the NPS app had a guided tour with narration and videos that we could’ve used instead (for free).
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback! I’m very sorry to hear about the technical difficulties you encountered. Was our 24/7 support team able to assist? These sorts of problems are very unusual, so we’ll be certain to investigate the matter further.
