Awesome tour guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

Bruce Davis was an awesome guide! He walked with us in the cold, windy weather and did not seem bothered by it at all. He knew a lot about the battle and Gettysburgs history in general. We loved this tour and would do it again!

A great chance to step into the past

Jerry was a great guide who shared the stories like you were there seeing the past unfold in front of you. Very knowledgeable and loved what he was doing.

Fantastic tour and history lesson.

My husband and I were the only two in the tour, but our guide, Brenda, did not make us feel rushed. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was fantastic and highly recommend it.

Great experience highly recommend

This was a very informative walking tour. Our guide was Bill H. We couldn’t ask for a better guide. We learned so much and the guide was very enthusiastic and passionate about the rich history of Gettysburg. We did 3 other tours while we were there and this was by far my favorite one.

A fun and interesting tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We enjoyed our walking tour. The guide seemed quite knowledgeable and told several stories about the different citizens of Gettysburg and what they endured during the battle. I especially liked the statue of Lincoln and the story behind it. I’d definitely recommend taking all of the tours you can fit into your visit.
