Our guide was very knowledgeable She knew her history and trivia but her delivery was on a middle school level. She says she frequently does the middle school tours so I can see why she is good at that ( I’m a former teacher) but it was a little disconcerting for a tour bus of senior citizens.
Terri_F, May 2026
We did the double decker tour and our guide was fantastic. She did the entire tour without notes. She was extremely knowledgeable and we highly recommend this tour.
Raymond_G, May 2026
An amazing tour with a lot of interesting history. Tour guide was excellent and the drive did a good job. A few stops, one going uphill, be prepared.

Great extensive 2 hour tour of battlefields. Christina explained the 3-day battle better than I’ve ever heard. Being on the field and pointing out all the landmarks made everything fall into place. We made several stops to point out important monuments and were able to get off the bus twice to get closer. Once at the Peace Memorial and the top of Little Round Top. She also shared some local human interest stories about Gettysburg and how it affected the local families and their lives.
This was our third trip to Gettysburg and this tour really set the stage to go back into the battlefield and explore more areas in detail.

Martha_F, Apr 2026
Of course just a two hour tour, many would have known a fair amount of this knowledge hopefully prior to the tour, but no basics of every day life or persons that should have been of interest were covered, just constant names and sites… would love to start from the beginning… need a longer more explicit tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Martha, we are so sorry that you didn't have the experience you expected on your tour. The Battlefield is so large that the Licensed Guide can not cover everything that happened during the Battle in a two hour tour. Our tours are a general overview of the Battle. If you return to Gettysburg again, we hope you will let us try to make your experience a better one for you.

Guide was very knowledgeable of the Battlefields and informative. Was told by desk staff that it’s cheaper to book directly through them and not a third party

Caroline_M, Apr 2026
Get there early to get a seat at the front of the bus. We were at the back and while we could hear the guide, the loud roar of the bus was distracting.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We are sorry to hear that the roar of the bus made it hard for you to hear the guide. We will check in to what is causing the noise and get it fixed. I hope you will come again and take another tour with us which hopefully will be a better experience for you.

Donald_A, Apr 2026
The bus tour was well worth it!!! We were able to gain extra knowledge when we were moving through the battlefields that we would not get in the self guided tours in half the time! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and even answered some of questions and other points of interest when we got off the bus at various stops along the way!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for the great review Donald! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and were able to get the answers to your questions!
