5.00I’m sure there are other ways to experience Gettysburg, but this was by far the best for our family! Our guide (Christina?) was the most knowledgeable guide I’ve ever had on any tour, and that’s saying something. She was also witty and friendly. I don’t think we would’ve had time to see and learn all that we did about Gettysburg without this tour.
