Excellent Tour - Our guide, Brenda, did an excellent job sharing the unique and interesting history of the different battle/dangerous events the town of Gettysburg experienced during the war. Even if you've visited Gettysburg before, it's well worth the time and money spent to do this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it!!

Walking History Tour - This one-hour walking tour provided a personal and humanized experience for us. Our guide, Brenda, met us as planned. As she walked us around downtown historic Gettysburg, she brought history alive telling us stories about how town locals survived the intense 3-day battle and the long months following. We saw bullet holes and cannon balls still embedded in original buildings, an old Sycamore tree where Abraham Lincoln stood on his visit, and she graciously had answers for all our questions. I highly recommend this tour for all ages.

Unforgettable experience! - First time in Gettysburg and I am so happy my group booked this tour. Jerry was an amazing tour guide, the kind makes you forget you’re even on a tour and instead you feel like you’re living inside of a documentary. I’d highly recommend anyone to book this tour especially if it’s your first time visiting the town!

Did Not Enjou - The guide was a very nice older gentleman but he was not prepared to give a tour. We had to stand still as he shuffled through his paperwork to read from it what he was telling us about. Also shuffled through pictures to show us. He also stood very close to us and when he spoke to us he placed his face very close to ours which was uncomfortable. We were the only two on this tour as the weather was bad but we had decided to make the most of it but in hindsight we wished we had cancelled.

Ripped off in Gettysburg - Tour operator did not show up at the agreed upon time. Also did not answer txt contacts to support. HORRIBLE SERVICE from this Gettysburg tour guide company, it's a complete RIP OFF after we even paid in advance!
