Our guide was very informative the bus was clean and the scenery was beautiful. I would totally recommend this experience
Wonderfully interesting and educational experience. John was very knowledgeable and engaging and Fred was a great bus driver. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Civil War history.
Excellent, great tour guide, it’s an awesome intro to the battle before you go and explore on your own
Our guide was very knowledgeable and to the point. He gave us a lot of information and made it clear that if we weren't back on the bus, he would not be waiting for us. Amy, our driver, was very sweet and competent. It was a good tour.
Through and complete and easy to understand and remember as I am a senior citizen. Very enjoyable and would highly recommend
This was very informative and we learned things beyond what the cd or just driving around could teach us or guide Paul was amazing
Booking was easy, bus was comfortable and driver pleasant. My children recommended and purchased trip.
Very informative! The guide was full of knowledge. And had a great sense of humor. Nice getting a bathroom break half way through.
We enjoyed the tour! It was Zac’s first tour and he did a great job! It was a great way to spend a couple of hours.. learned a lot and had a good time meeting other travelers.
I was solo on my trip. The experience was very good. The bus driver was very nice and the guide was awesome. I would recommend.
Very informative, well organized
The bus was comfortable. The guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
It was very informative. We had three stops where we could get off the bus and take photos. Great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the battle of Gettysburg.
The bus tour was extremely informative regarding the battles at Gettysburg. Really nice tour bus. Both bus driver and guide were fun and nice. We have taken the tour several times and we always learn something new!
Great time very interesting, good informational, will tell others to make sure they also book this tour
Great tour the guide gave a lot of history information on the battle, and the city of Gettysburg. I would highly recommend this tour
Certified Gettysburg Battlefield Guide. Very well done. John Fitzgerald was informative, knew what he was talking about. At time his talk tugged at your heart strings. At times he was slightly comical. Very pleased. The bus driver "Klaus" was great. Both men are fantastic at their "calling".
Lots to see. Very informative. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative about the battles and history.
An historian of every Gettysburg detail, almost the feeling of being there in late June early July 1863
It was informative, and comfortable traveling in the bus. Our driver and volunteer narrator were great. Nice way to learn about the battle and see the battlefield.

Take the bus tour and also schedule a nightly candlelight ghost tour. Your guides are highly knowledgeable telling you of many haunted happenings. The also will suggest other places to visit that you wouldn't we ant to miss.
It’s awesome battle , wear comfy shoes and relaxing clothes, I don’t think you kids would have as good of times as the adults

interesting, historical, everyone should visit. if I would have been born 100 years earlier, I would have been fighting at that field, and probably dying

We felt like we were in the battle of Gettysburg! Loved every minute of our tour. The narrator did an awesome job of making you feel like we were part of the history. Two hours does not do it justice as there were so much to see and feel. It went by so fast I would do it again because you have too. My son went on this tour last year and so he said it was nice to know things he didn't catch from the narrator the year before. You will not be bored! You will appreciate listening to history instead of reading it in a book. It did not disappoint!

Excellent tour given by an excellent guide (I think John). Friendly and professional! Viator is not located at the at the Visitor's Center! I made the mistake of going to the visitor’s center first. I met an Army Buddy that I went to basic training with in 1976 for the tour.

This is a very well planned out trip around the Gettysburg battlefield. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we stopped at some of the biggest battle sites and were able to get out to take pictures while we listened to our guide’s description of what happened.

VERY good tour! The guide was extremely knowledgeable, and easy to listen to, whether you’re a big history buff or Civil War clueless person! Bus was comfortable, especially since it rained that day! We were glad to not be in one of the horse-drawn open carriages. The ONLY way to go thru the battlefield, in my opinion! We wouldn’t have gotten 1/10 as much out of it, had we gone ourselves. Bargain, too.
