Double decker bus tour

It was excellent! Went with my family (my parents, husband, and kids age range 7-18). They all liked it a lot and felt it was very informative and interesting.

Inspired On The Battlefield

Jessie Wheedleton led our 2 hour sunset bus tour. She was exceptional. She’s a licensed battlefield expert which means she’s studied long hours and passed rigorous tests to educate us. Her story telling cadence engaged all ages and backgrounds. Jessie found her passion for Gettysburg at 6yrs old. Her tour left us with renewed inspiration to continue our soldier’s unfinished work and make sure their sacrifice was not in vain. Highly recommended.

Sunset tour

It should be be first to sign in gets called to pick a seat first. The young lady Park tour guide was exceptional and the woman bus driver was a great driver.

Fun Fall Night!

Our family had a great sunset tour! Tour guide was very informative. We lucked out with a beautiful sunset and nice weather. Our little girl loved riding up top with the breeze blowing in her hair. Would recommend.

Jim, Rosie, and Cheryl...

Jim, Rosie, and Cheryl were amazing. Jim was so knowledgeable about the Battle of Gettysburg. For a 2 hour tour, it was filled with historical facts. The scenery was beautiful. The battlefields seemed to be endless, which made it tragic. I would highly recommend this tour.

Exploring the Battle of Gettysburg from a "Different Perspective"

Matthew_T, Oct 2024
Touring Gettysburg battlefield from above affords a whole new means of understanding and appreciating this treasure of American history. The guide's knowledegable and clear presentation allowed us to take in all the sites while learning specifics about the battle and locations, many of which I have not visited before. Lastly, watching the sunset atop Little Round Top was an inimitable surprise we greatly appreciated.

Informative evening ride

Julie_Z, Sep 2024
Everyone on the tour was professional, courteous and knowledgeable! We took our grandsons (ages 8&12). They loved it, and we did too! Thank you for the opportunity to experience such a devastating but important time. 10 stars!

Don't miss this opportunity

The beauty of the battlefield at sunset and the knowledge of the guide presenting all the information regarding the Battle of Little Round Top as you stood on the summit looking out over the rocks, trees, brush and fields was something to behold.

Great history

Clelia_W, Sep 2024
Our guide for the evening was Joel, he was very knowledgeable about the history of Gettysburg. He was able to give us so much information and we learned alot. It was a great experience. Unfortunately, I only gave it 4 stars because we had rainy weather so we had to go on a regular tour bus and not the double decker. It was hard to get decent pictures through the rain on the windows. Luckily, it stopped raining by the time we got to get out of the bus to take pictures at the highest point during sunset. I would recommend this tour to hear all the amazing history. Thank you to Joel and to our bus driver, we had a good time.

WTF!

Robert_V, Sep 2024
Nobody notified me that they were switching busses from a double decker to a regular bus. Our group missed the bus because of it. We were there 15 minutes early waiting for what I thought would be a double decker. I got no notice of any kind beforehand. The lady at the desk didn't give a f**k that we missed it and was out a lot of money because of there inability to contact people beforehand to notify of the change. I will not ever purchase any kind of ticket off these scumbags again! There not even worth one star!

Worth the money

Jim_M, Jul 2024
My wife loved it. She is a teacher and enjoyed the details and facts. Great views and details you cant get driveing your car.

Lots of fun

Amanda_H, Jun 2024
This tour was great even though the weather was not favorable for the actual double decker bus. The guide and driver were very engaging and kept your attention. We got rained on while out and stopped at Little Big Top and it was a blast. All an experience we won’t forget!

Goo time

Andrew_W, Jun 2024
The tour was fun, informative, and relaxing. The bus was neat and clean. Earphones were provided to hear the guide. The information was accurate and delivered in a fun manner to keep your attention.

Enjoyed the view

Linda_P, Aug 2023
Great view of town and battlefield from the top deck. Disappointed that Devil's Den ans round top were closed.

Great overview of Gettysburg!

Linda_P, Jul 2023
We loved sitting on the top of the bus at sunset… It was the first thing we did when we got to Gettysburg, and it gave us a good overall perspective of the territory we were visiting. The guide was exceptional, enjoyable experience!

Enjoyed

Cheryl_W, Jun 2023
Very comfortable, easy to hear and understand tour guide. Excellent bus driver. Well worth taking. Downside - seated in alphabetical order, so try to have a name listed that begins with A to get the seating you desire
