The bus tour was well worth it!!! We were able to gain extra knowledge when we were moving through the battlefields that we would not get in the self guided tours in half the time! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and even answered some of questions and other points of interest when we got off the bus at various stops along the way!!!

EDWARD_R, Nov 2025
the guide is knowledgeable - too knowledgeable - less, less of the same facts and overwhelming facts - too much information - make it more understandable...
The Microphone is TOO LOUD - it is piercing to your ears - it is annoying
Brooke_R, Nov 2025
Great driver and guide! Clean bus. Safe transportation. Enjoyable tour! I would recommend to family and friends. I learned a lot from the guide!

John the tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Easy directions on getting to the starting point for the tour. I highly recommend this tour.
Nancy_B, Nov 2025
It’s been a long time since I sat in an
American History class…. This tour made my recollection of what I was taught many years ago come to life. It also updated details that didn’t seem important the first time around. I learned some new information and relearned with a new perspective some old. When you consider what ALL were fighting for and dying for on both sides it stands to reason we should reflect on The Civil War, the thousands of lives lost, and learn to remain humbled by this as we work together as a Nation in peace.
Marie_R, Nov 2025
This tour was wonderful!! Christina, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable!! Christina's lively and engaging descriptions of The Battle of Gettysburg kept our interest during the twp (2) hour tour.
Thanks to Christina I have a better knowledge of the who, what and where of the the Battle of Gettysburg!! She vividly described the topography of the three (3) day battle and how the hills and dales played into the battle plans. I am from Pennsylvania and did not realize how close the Union Army came to being defeating by the Confederate Army. The devastation suffered by the town of Gettysburg was heartbreaking. It took years for the town to recovery. The tens of thousands of lives that were lost in the three (3) day battle was overwhelming to hear - so many lives lost!! Families devastated.
The Battle of Gettysburg truly shaped our American history. If you have the opportunity, please sign up for this tour and specifically ask for Christina to be your guide. You will not regret it!! A very enjoyable and enlightening two hours.

Susan_H, Nov 2025
The tour was fantastic and informative. This is a must tour. Great experience! We were able to get off the bus several times and to get the interesting facts that we would have not known about doing this on our own. We were looking for a specific monument of a family member who was one one the Col. We were able to go back after the information from the tour and we found it.
