Fantastic and Memorable Gettysburg Lesson

Published on Feb, 2025

Fred was our driver and Paul gave our tour. This was fantastic! The bus was comfortable and Paul was funny and entirely knowledgeable about each stage of the battle. He provided such an insider’s view which took us back in time, making me really understand the sights, sounds and experiences of the generals and soldiers. You will love this tour.

Amazing educational trip

Published on Jan, 2025

Beautiful experiance & so much history but go in warmer weather. It was so freezing with high winds when we did it. Otherwise I highly recomend it. And do auto tour. Convenient & you can spend as much or as little time you need.

Excellent!!!

What an amazing day! It was a very powerful and interesting experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended!

Fun Way to Learn Alot

Published on Dec, 2024

We enjoyed our bus tour around Gettysburg, especially since we went in December & it was very cold out. Our tour guy was very knowledgeable & personable. We think the Bus Driver was ACTUALLY in the Battle of Gettysburg. Nice guy as well. We hit all the major battle spots & monuments. Got out at a few major ones to take photos, We skipped some smaller ones with regard to stopping, as it was freezing out but the Guide offered to stop for pics, but we all declined. I'd recommend this tour to a friend to get a great overview of the Battle of Gettysburg. Do it EARLY in your visit. Then you can go back to the places you find most interesting to explore & take photos.

Enjoyed

Really learned a lot, it was very interesting. Liked the big windows on the bus, so you could see really well.
