I did the Gettysburg day...

I did the Gettysburg day trip with Alper this past weekend. It was a convenient way to get a quick glimpse of the general area and some of the key spots where the battle took place. Would recommend if you have a free day in DC!
An Amazing Experience

This was an amazing tour. Our driver(Galen) was prompt and very helpful. It was a long and miserable ride from DC. In pouring rain Galen did a great job. Once there, the whole experience was worth every penny. The presentations at the Center and the Museum were so informative. Our local tour guide, as we drove the battlefields, was so very knowledgeable and entertaining. We hated to leave. We would do this tour again.
Excellent Tour with good guides.

The driver was very knowledgeable about Gettysburg and talked about it on the drive. And when we got there we had a very good guide who added to the experience. The driver was very accommodating and engaged with his passengers. I have been to Gettysburg myself by car but learned a lot more with a guide.
Great overview of historic location

Absolutely brilliant tour, booked this for hubbys 50th as he’s a major history buff, I would not be as much but I was surprised how much I ended up enjoying it. Service was great, all went on schedule, Apler our driver was super friendly and helpful and had lots of knowledge and got us there and back safely. Gary our guide around battlefield was fantastic, had so much knowledge of area and stopped off at best spots so we got maximum insight to the battle, the two hours flew by. Highly recommend, worth visit to Gettysburg
