A tour that made the history lesson fun!

5.00As parents with two boys, anything history they turn their nose up. So the fact that we rode on the top of a bus made it a great trip. My 12 yr old even turned around to me and said “this is so fun.” And everyone listened to the tour guide and could even repeat back everything! You only get off at little round top, so we made our way back around afterwards and visited a few places
We really enjoyed our tour with a knowledgeable guide and driver who is familiar with the area. Highly recommend!

5.00Jessie Wheedleton led our 2 hour sunset bus tour. She was exceptional. She’s a licensed battlefield expert which means she’s studied long hours and passed rigorous tests to educate us. Her story telling cadence engaged all ages and backgrounds. Jessie found her passion for Gettysburg at 6yrs old. Her tour left us with renewed inspiration to continue our soldier’s unfinished work and make sure their sacrifice was not in vain. Highly recommended.
