Don't book through Trip Advisor

Gary_M, Apr 2022

We booked and paid for admission through Trip Advisor. When we presented our pass at the admissions desk, we were told our Trip Advisor pass was not valid and would not be accepted. We traveled 8 hours round trip to see Gettysburg and were not going to leave without the full experience. We were forced to pay another $60 admission and told to deal with Trip Advisor on our own. Very unsatisfying for a visitor to have this experience at a national treasure.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

This is review is meant for the museum (we are not the museum; we’re a walking tour).
