5.00This is our 2nd time in Gettysburg. The first time was four years ago and we did a GPS voiceover self drive-through experience. This time we decided to do this bus tour and I’m glad we did. It was much more informative and fascinating.

5.00Great extensive 2 hour tour of battlefields. Christina explained the 3-day battle better than I’ve ever heard. Being on the field and pointing out all the landmarks made everything fall into place. We made several stops to point out important monuments and were able to get off the bus twice to get closer. Once at the Peace Memorial and the top of Little Round Top. She also shared some local human interest stories about Gettysburg and how it affected the local families and their lives. This was our third trip to Gettysburg and this tour really set the stage to go back into the battlefield and explore more areas in detail.
