Unfortunately, it's not to use your service. They boarded alfabetically and even though our last name was Finkel, we had to board last because we got our tickets through you.

Comfortable bus with air conditioning, knowledgeable tour guide. Stop several times to walk parts of the battlefield.
Claudette_B, May 2026
Great narration by our very knowledgeable guide. Paul was fantastic. I learned alot about the battle. Made a few stops and had a bathroom break at the middle of the 2 hour tour. It went by very fast!
Kenneth_C, May 2026
The tour was absolutely awesome. Our tour guide and driver were each very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was prompt and timely at each stop. Reserving, getting confirmation, checking in were all very easy and straight forward. I would definitely this recommend these guys for anyone interested in a tour. Definitely worth my drive from D.C. (2 hours each way).
Paul_B, May 2026
The guide had three hours of information that he tried to cram into the two hour tour. He just shouted data and facts for two hours, his knowledge was second to nobody but his tour guide skills were lacking. There was zero organizational from him when leaving the bus at the view points. Tour would have been good with a better guide.

Karla_W, May 2026
Clean and comfortable bus. Knowledgeable tour guide who knew all the details of the war. Answered all our questions. Glad I took the tour instead of winging it solo. Learned a lot!

Ray_J, May 2026
Our guide John was incredible! He gave us so much detail and information about the battle but did it in a storytelling fashion that made it come to life for the group.
Ron_S, May 2026
This should be on everyone's bucket list. Extremely informative and the guide, Jim Miller, is the ultimate Gettysburg historian! Made you feel like you were back observing the actual battle.
Victor_M, May 2026
We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting and lively. We also did the 'Auto Tour' from NPS. This bus tour covered everything on the 'Auto Tour' and then some. Really brought things to life.
Christine_R, May 2026
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.

Raymond_T, Apr 2026

Karen_B, Apr 2026
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.
