5.00A must-do when visiting Gettysburg! From the moment the tour began, it was clear this would be one of the most memorable and impressive tours I have ever experienced. The Gettysburg battlefield tour was outstanding from start to finish, and our guide, John, was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the history of the battle to life in a way that was both informative and memorable. John’s deep understanding of the battlefield, the strategies, and the people involved made the experience truly exceptional. If you want an excellent historical overview of the Battle of Gettysburg, this tour is an absolute must. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

4.00Auctioneer, Driver and tour guide Jim we’re serviceable. Jim all too often repeated himself, diluting the information, as most folks became restless. Solid but Unassuming
Excellent!

5.00Excellent tour and very knowledgeable guide. My only complaint is that we seemed to run out of time and missed the cemetery, which I would have liked to see on the tour, though we were able to go back on our own to see it. I don't think we would have been able to see all of the monuments and everything and we definitely would not have understood all that we saw without the guide, who clearly loved his job and talking about the history of Gettysburg.
This is a very good tour!...
