Yorktown Battlefield Driving Tour - Excellent driving tour through history with a few (optional but highly recommended) short guided walks.

Revolutionary drive - This was very informative. There are opportunities to get out of your vehicle to explore or just stay inside and drive through. I liked all of the information but most of all, I liked the drive through the forest.

Williamsburg Walking Tour - Great tour with lots of interesting information and stories not told in the buildings themselves or history books. It was a very hot day and the guide made sure we were shaded as much as possible. We'd highly recommend the tour.Williamsburg Walking Tour

It was educational and worth the price! - You are in your own vehicle so you can go at a slower pace. It was raining out so we didn't get out of the car. It exceeded my expectations. I am glad we did this tour.

The map was laggy, so we... - The map was laggy, so we had to turn around a bit, but it was the perfect way to enjoy and learn about the area on a 100 degree day.

Fun and informative! - Overall it was a great experience! There were a few areas that we lost the signal and missed so information. And sometimes it seemed the timing was not def a bit. It was describing a place we had not actually gotten to yet

Drive Yorktown - The views were somewhat dismal. The audio was good tho. The drive was nice. Places to pull Off and check out the (lack) of sites.

Not well put together - The App was often behind and skipped words in directions. The beginning was completely worthless because they have most of historic Jamestown blocked off. Also, it says that it begins at the visitor center when it actually begins at the victory monument. Overall, I would not purchase this again. The history part was good. That was the only part of this we enjoyed.

The drive app provided a lot of good information but due to closed roads we were misdirected multiple times. - There was a long circuitous route through the area but road blocks and sreet closures with no detour signs or updated directions caused us to backtrack over the same areas and hearing the same narrative several times on several occasions which was frustrating. The Moore house was locked and closed. The drive app narration did provide very useful informaion. It just needs more work.

Wasted money - The tour kept telling us to go one way and it would be the wrong way. As soon as it gave directions the map would be gone from the screen. It took us from stop number 4 to the last stop. We later went back as we had taken so much time that we had to move on to something else & the majority of the stops were behind closed sections that we could not access. The app randomly would start or would start at the beginning over & over. This could have been a simple app & experience, instead it was just a big headache and money thrown away.
