Excellent history of the events of July 1, 2, 3 and 3 during the Civil War. The details and stories of local citizens and generals brought the experience to life. Highly recommend this tour as history refresher.

As I was already Knowledgeable about this battlefield I took the tour on a recommendation from a friend. It was as expected, and the tour guide knowledgeable. I Recommended for all visitors. Duration about right at 2 hours.

I have never written a bad review and take no pleasure and writing this one. However, I believe the management of the tour company know the individual I will describe but choose not to deal with problem because the tour guide is brilliant and likable but has horrible presentation skills.
I came with an excitement and desire to learn about Gettysburg. However, after 30 minutes of a 2-hour tour I was worn out trying to follow what the tour guide was saying. He did not take a breath for 30 minutes. It was evident that he was a subject matter expert and everyone is impressed by the information he has accumulated. He speaks very fast but the most difficult aspect is that he doesn't pause for 15 to 30 minutes during his presentation. He makes it very difficult to retain what he is saying because it is like he is speed talking a script he wrote. When he finally pauses to ask for questions no one asks a question because everyone is overwhelmed.
I cannot recommend this tour with this guide. I am not suggesting that all the tour guides for Gettysburg are the same way. I hope my review causes the management to deal with the individual I am describing so others don't have to sit through his voluminous presentations.

Wonderful tour with so much information. This is a great tour to get an overview of the site and to help identify where you might like to come back to later and explore in more depth.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interacted well with the guests. He was open to answering questions. I definitely recommend seeing the battleground on your own or with a tour guide in your car so that you can take more time and learn more details.

It was very informative unfortunately someone people must always talk and made it difficult to listen. I'd suggest everyone be quiet and listen
Kimberly_E, May 2026
This was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide was absolutely amazing! His amount of knowledge and energy that he brought to the story, made you feel excited to hear what was going to happen next. We got so much more out of it, than if we would have just walked it ourselves. Definitely worth the time and money!!!

We had an excellent experience on the 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour. Our National Park Guide, John, was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the battle. He explained the key events, strategies, and significance of the different locations in a way that made the battlefield come alive. His storytelling and historical insight gave us a much deeper appreciation for Battle of Gettysburg and its importance in American history.
The driver also did an excellent job navigating the narrow roads and tight turns throughout Gettysburg National Military Park. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time, and everything was handled professionally.
This tour was very well organized, informative, and worth every minute. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gettysburg and wanting a meaningful understanding of the battlefield and the events that took place there.
Ada_Y, May 2026
Felt a bit rushed as the guide kept asking us to return to the bus after just about 10-12 minutes. Just to walk up to a monument take 3 minutes and then walking down again. Which means we have only 5 minutes to take in the view and capture photos. Nonetheless it was a quick way to see a lot in a very short period of time.
Pam_K, May 2026
Joe was an excellent guide full of a wealth of knowledge. He made it exciting and entertaining. Cheryl drove our bus with great skill. We had knowledge of the battle before but learned so much more. Two hours went by so fast. Gained so much more appreciation for those involved in the battle. Thanks for a great experience.

This was the most perfect way to begin our explorations at Gettysburg. Our guide, Joe, was outstanding. He gave the exact perfect information to help us truly feel immersed and knowledgeable. The stops were shorter than we would have liked, but this was wonderful. In my opinion, a must do for anyone coming to experience Gettysburg.
Don_G, May 2026

This was our second time in this tour and it did not disappoint. The tour is excellent! The tour guide was full of information as you would expect, she knew her stuff. I pick something up every time I go to Gettysburg. This tour is a must if in the area.

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.
