Heritage Center Licensed Tour Guides

Published on Nov, 2024

We took a four hour tour with one of the Gettysburg Heritage Center's licensed tour guides and were so impressed that we think they should have a three day version! Tom Clark was an exceptional guide and personalized our tour to accommodate our extreme lateness due to traffic, as well as the energy and endless questions of our 6 and 8 year old girls. This tour is all class, an incredible deal, and a glorious representation of the passion for the place and the important lessons it has to teach us all. Thank you!!

Private tour guide, highly recommended.

Our private tour guide, Tracy was fantastic. I highly recommend the private car tour. We learned so much from Tracy about the 3 day Civil War.

John was such a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. We thought this was the best tour we have taken in Gettysburg or Williamsburg. Toni the bus driver was a very good driver too.

Loved the heritage museum

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a wonderful way to start our history tour of Gettysburg. It gives you an overall of the battle. The Heritage Museum tour helped us with the information for our other tours. The artifacts and stories behind them really brings it to life. The “cellar” is a must see. It gives you a look at what it must have been for the people of Gettysburg.

Gettysburg Fun and History

Published on Oct, 2024

Took my two grandboys to Gettysburg. Visited the Heritage Museum. The boys enjoyed the displays, the 3 D movies, the props. We decided we did not have enough time that day so we are coming back
