Almost caught myself crying during some of the historical stories. Hard to believe our country went through a such a struggle. This will make you grateful for your country and your heritage. More

Our tour guide,Jimmy, was very knowledgeble and SUPER enthusiastic!!! The tour bus traveled along the battle field and made two stops. At each stop we exited the bus, where... More

We took an audio tour because the guided tour was not available. The audio was informative but the driver added so much more to the experience. After the tour, we retoured it by car and it only made it better. I recommend doing both! More

We took a bus tour of the entire Gettysburg battlefield and saw many of the historic monuments and battlefields. The tour was supposed to be just recorded information while driving through the grounds, but, our driver stopped the recorded tape several times to explain many interesting facts over the bus PA system. He really went above and beyond his normal... More

This 2-hour guided bus tour was the best thing we did here in Gettysburg. I could have listened to our guide with all of his knowledge for 2 or more hours! Make this the first thing you do as it will lay the groundwork for the rest of your trip. I carried all that I learned from this tour/guide with... More

You can tell how a person carries themselves and talks if they love their jobs! This guide acts like he owns the business. He carefully makes sure each person knows the chances of loosing your personal items on the dd bus. Plus, he hops off the bus to make sure no one falls! His enthusiasm when speaking makes the additional... More

Note: In this review, I am rating the GUIDED Bus Tour as well as the "1-day inclusive Value Plan" (not to be confused with the "Package Plan") offered by tour center. I would probably give the Bus Tour an "Excellent" (5pts), but would rate the Value Plan "Poor to Average". 2nd Note: Our trip to Gettysburg was last minute, and... More
