Yorktown Tour Guide

American Battlefield Trust

About this app

The Yorktown Tour Guide is your complete guide to Yorktown, Virginia – site of the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War and witness to George Washington's decisive victory over General Lord Charles Cornwallis.

Let the Yorktown Tour Guide’s GPS-enabled audio tours lead you through 300 years of American history on a walking tour of Historic York Town or get up close to the events of the Siege of Yorktown on two separate driving tours.

The Yorktown Tour Guide was produced by The American Battlefield Trust in partnership with the National Park Service's Yorktown Battlefield, part of Colonial National Historical Park. This app is one of the Trust expanding lineup of apps that are ready to be downloaded today at https://www.battlefields.org/battleapps.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent audio for both Red & Yellow routes. Downloaded to phone since this is a national Park; cell signal is not strong. Best to stop at Visitor's Center to not only pay the fee but also get the lettered map to help you see the loops to take. Then use this audio alongside stopping every so often at the signage that explains more history along the way. The yellow route to see the Encampments is hardly traveled and very quiet. We will download more American Battlefield Trust audio tours.

TLDR: Just read the signs. Audio quality was extremely poor. Whoever ripped it from the CD made not effort to double check it. When you can here the audio, it's about 30-60 seconds of information so basic you wonder why you're subjecting yourself to this in the first place. This app contributes absolutely nothing to your Yorktown experience.

Terrible, confusing app. No clue how to navigate to start of routes. Terrible volume control. We drove all over trying to navigate to the flags and ended up on roads where we couldn't get to the flag and ended up unintentionally crossing the river and paying a toll. Worst app I've ever seen!
