First and foremost, you want to purchase the value package at the vistor's center. This will include the bus tour, museum, and cylcorama. Battlefield bus tour is worth the time, however, it is only good to wet your whistle. If you really want to understand this major event in history you must take the auto tour.

Our tour guide ellen was awesome. She really has a passion for history and the battle of Gettysburg. Answered every question accurately. Just the right amount of everything.

We had one screeching and talking throughout the tour and it was very distracting and difficult to hear the tour guide. This is a 2 hour tour on a bus, and it was not inexpensive. Unless your child can still still and quiet for that length of time, I don't recommend it.

If your visiting Gettysburg, you might want to take the bus tour. It was very insightful and interesting.

We thought about renting the CD and driving through the Gettysburg battlefied but decided to take the bus tour instead and it was a very good decision! The battlefield is very large and a CD would not have been as clear as a guide. The bus stops for closer observations which allows everyone to walk around during the two hour... More
