Very informative with humor mixed in.
Worth the money.
Amazing the knowledge of the battle of Gettysburg the tour guide remembers.
I stayed in the bus because I’m handicapped and I couldn’t take my scooter.
But the bus driver was pretty knowledgeable when I asked him a couple things when everyone else was off the bus with the tour guide.

Diane_G, Aug 2026
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the stories. We did not realize the scope of fighting, the size of the battles and the sad loss of so many young American boys. Should be on every Americans bucket list.

They stop and you can get out and look at the monuments and keep talking about stories and they give you a bathroom break halfway through.
Margaret_M, July 2026
An incredibly detailed description of the events as they occurred in Gettysburg. Our tour guide was able to bring the fighting, planning and personal stories to life. I found the tour to be a very emotional experience. I would recommend this tour 100%.

Air conditioning and comfort in a modern bus. Very knowledgeable tour guide and bus operator. Only 2 hours long which was the perfect amount of time!
Sandy_L, July 2026
The bus driver and tour guide were wonderful. The tour guide had so much information and just covered so much on the 2 hour tour. Very comfortable setting to see the majority of the park.
Fawn_S, July 2026
Excellent experience! Our guide John was extremely knowledgeable and our bus driver Stacy was great! They were both so personable and friendly. This is a must do activity when visiting Gettysburg. No better way to experience what happened during the battles that took place there and to understand what the monuments etc are and mean. Absolutely wonderful!!

William_S, July 2026
Overnight sites vary greatly in layout. Some are easy in and out and some are difficult. Site 80 was good.

Response from Host, July 2026
Thank you for the five-star review. We are glad that you had an enjoyable experience with us.
Anne_S, July 2026
The bus and driver were great. The guide John was informative. However, he was much too involved with each disagreement with the leaders of both armies. He would be much more suited for a group of people that just wanted to discuss the strategy rather than overall information.
Ray_H, July 2026
If a person has ambulation issues, they should be aware of some small amount of walking. However they can remain on the bus.

Worth every penny ! We had an excellent guide who made the battle fields come alive. I kept thinking of the 51,000 dead all night afterwards.

future.
Deactivated, July 2026
It is a great way to tour the battlefield. Especially when it is very hot and humid. We also dealt with smoke from the wildfires. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. My only complaint is we did not tour Culp's Hill.
Response from Host, July 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are sorry that you didn't get to see Culp's Hill. Each Licensed Battlefield Guide does the tour they own way and do not have requirements to visit ever part of the Battlefield on their tour, since the Battlefield is so large. Hope to see you again in the future and maybe a different Guide will take you to Culp's Hill..
Susan_C, July 2026
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. The tour was very interesting and took us throughout the Gettysburg battlefields.
Response from Host, July 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review. Hope to see you again in the future.
Jonathan_M, July 2026
Really good overview of various battles, historical markers, statues, strategies behind attacks & defense. Learned a lot. Coupled with the Gettysburg Museum offers, we had a full day that taught us so much about the 3 days of Gettysburg.
