Loved this audio tour! - I loved this tour! The audio was lively, rich in information and engaging. The excitement in the voices really kept me tuned in. I really appreciated the history and fun facts. It was not only informative, but at times funny! The part about the 32 medals really made me laugh. The map and photos included were really helpful. The quiz was a really neat idea. I think it would best at the end of the tour. This tour was also great for my sons. They learned so much, and it really kept their interest! I highly recommend it.

Perfect pocket guide at my own rythm with cool gps audios - After I bought my admission entrance I was lucky to have purchased this audio tour. I particular enjoyed the characters and sound effects . The monument on its own is amazing but without the story I would have missed a lot !

Makes visit come alive - Very good audio tour that makes history come alive. I would think it would be good for families with kids, as it recounts the major battle at the fort

Confusing drama - It’s good that the audio starts when you enter the area it’s talking about but finding those areas was hard and not obvious. Basically didn’t end out understanding the story and gave up after a while. It was a dramatized story more than a history lesson too so maybe best for kids. Sad it didn’t work out better.
