This self guided tour was the best one I’ve ever taken. The app worked seamlessly, the chosen music was perfect and the tour itself was very information. The app directions were easy to follow and the guides voice was very pleasant to listen to. I will definitely be using Shaka Guides again.

Great stories. Good...

christine_c, Mar 2026

Great stories. Good directions. Nice music. We did get turned the wrong way once, but mostly the directions were very clear.

Well Done

joe_h, Mar 2026

Great stories told putting the battle in perspective. I did this biking the route. Program is a little cumbersome to get started. Tip, just have app started and follow the Auto route red signs marked with a star. The programming will kick in automatically right where you are. History come alive.

Mahalo for your great review! 🌴 We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, found the directions accurate, and loved exploring at your own pace. Hope you’ll join us again for another Shaka adventure soon! 🤙

I was never able to get...

Katherine_J, Oct 2025

I was never able to get signed in to the program to use it. Couldn't get in touch with anyone for help!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re really sorry to hear about the trouble signing in and not being able to reach support — that’s definitely not the experience we want for you. Could you please let us know the email you used to sign up and which tour you were trying to access? We’ll be happy to look into it right away and help get you set up or issue a refund if needed.

We found it a bit fiddly...

PatriciaC, Sep 2025

We found it a bit fiddly to connect to our hire car but that's because we hadn't done it before. It was very informative and the music had us whistling Yankee dodle dandy for the rest of the day. It was also good that if we didn't want to stop at a particular stop it skipped forward automatically.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks so much for sharing this! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour once everything was connected happy to hear the music stuck with you too 🇺🇸. Great point about the auto-skip feature, it really helps keep the drive smooth if you decide to pass on a stop.

Outstanding.

Gettysburg Audio Tour

Ken_G, Aug 2025

A great way to see all of the key points of Gettysburg Military Park at your own pace while enjoying all of the stories behind it. You can stop as often as you like and spend as much time as you want at each point. Took us about 4 hours and enjoyed every minute. Very easy turn by turn instructions to get around. Already looking into other tours we may be able to do near us in the future.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Mahalo for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Gettysburg at your own pace and found the directions and stories helpful. Exciting to hear you’re already looking into more tours — we’d love to join you on your next adventure!

Good experience

Brenda_B, Jul 2025

The experience was well done , clear recording and very informative also. The timing of the tour was perfect and it took us to every single important thing to see on the battlefield.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for sharing! It’s great to hear the timing, clarity, and coverage of the battlefield tour all lined up so well for you. Sounds like it really brought the experience to life!

Not Worth It!!!

Thomas_p, Jul 2025

Terrible!!! Could not get connected. Downloading the Ap went fine along with tutorial…then everything’locked up’.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Aloha Thomas_p We're truly sorry to hear you were not able to enjoy your Shaka Guide tour. This isn’t what we wanted for your Gettysburg journey. We’re truly sorry things locked up on you. You deserved an epic, seamless experience — not tech trouble. Please reach out to us via email at aloha@shakaguide.com so we can help you get a refund from Viator or make this right and help turn things around for your next adventure.

Nice, easy, go at your own pace.

Linda_K, Jul 2025

It was nice to drive at your own pace & experience the battle ground with the audio tour giving us background information about the battle. We could stop & start the tour at our leisure. It was a great value & I appreciated the flexibility it provided. I had never used this service before & it was pretty easy. Download the app, load the confirmation number, pot in the date you plan to visit/do the tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Mahalo for the wonderful review! 🌺 We're so glad you enjoyed the flexibility of driving at your own pace and found the battle background information valuable. It’s great to hear your first experience with Shaka Guide was easy and smooth — thanks for sharing those simple steps too! We hope to join you on many more adventures ahead
