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.
You are mostly on the bus, with a few stops to get off.
Paul was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable!
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!
Guide very knowledgeable. Helps you understand how the battles went.
You even get a bathroom break.
Definitely worth your time
Our Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Gettysburg Battle. We enjoyed our history lesson very much. I highly recommend this tour.
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.
Awesome experience Tim was a fantastic guide really painting a nice story while showing us all the highlights of the battlefield. He really makes history come alive. The bus was comfortable and good temperature.
Great overview of the park, battlefield, and monuments. The bus is climate controlled and has speakers throughout so you can hear the guide no matter where you sit. Then guide is knowledgeable and tells you details you would not otherwise know. You make three stops along the way where you can get off and take pictures. Additionally there is one bathroom break in the middle.

Really good tour - great information from the guide, and we appreciated his wit. Just the right amount of time (2 hours) especially since we’d already visited the visitor center and some of the monuments on our own.

Guide was very knowledgeable and did a terrific job of telling the tour group about the various important sites around downtown Gettysburg. It’s well worths a visitors time to partipate in a walking tour.

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour of Historical Gettysburg. But we only have bus tours of the Gettysburg Battlefield from our website. I will relay the review to the company that offers tours of Historical Gettysburg.
Alot of information in a short amount of time. The guide was knowledgeable, answered questions and interacted with the crowd. There's driver was also very good as well.
