My companion and I did the 3 hour Yanks tour this weekend. Exploring the battlefield by bicycle is definitely the way to go. Why stay cooped up in a car and staring out the window when you can actually walk the ground? Why drive up Little Round Top when you can traverse it yourself and get just a sampling of... More

My husband and I just did the three hour Yanks Tour today, and it was lovely. We covered so much territory that we never could have done by walking, and we would have missed much by being in a car or bus. Our tour guide was friendly, accommodating, and very, very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour! More

The 3 hour Yanks Tour was a hit for this family of three. My husband and 10year old son rode the tandem while I had my own bike. Kelly was great at sizing us for the bikes and making sure we were comfortable. Bruce was great and answered all of our questions and was super nice. More

We thoroughly enjoyed our four Hour tour and civil war experience with Bruce. His depth of knowledge made the whole trip fly by and left you wanting more. Highly recommend it for anyone visiyng Gettysburg. The cycling was a bit of a workout - I felt I had earned my ice cream @ Mr. G's! Thanks Bruce! Michelle More

My family (me, husband and 2 kids - 14 and 11) did this tour during the most beautiful early April afternoon. None of us have a particularly strong interest in the Civil War but we needed a short trip to take during the kids Spring Break and thought Gettysburg would be a good option. Bruce was our tour guide and... More

We loved our tour with GettysBike. This is a family-operated business, conveniently located very close to the National Park Service visitors center (at the bus parking area). Bob is the guide, and his daughter Kelly runs the operations, and both are nice as could be. Bob's tour is great - very, very informative, and the right level of exertion for... More

Cycling the battleground with Bob was one of the highlights of our Washington trip. Family business, the highly efficient Kelly sorted out our booking as the civil war cycling season came towards its end. Bob teaches grade 8 history and that shows when combined with an obvious enthusiasm and feel for his subject. More monuments and theories than you can... More

My two boys 16 and 14 are have study the Civil War and attended several Memorial Day and Veteren' day ceremonies. My goal was to keep it interesting. Bob's Bike Tour was outstanding. Bob has many engaging war stories, facts and hands on lessons. Kelly the Office Manager was delightful. She was informative, and complete with her instructions. She reassured... More

Took the 4 hour bike tour (lasted closer to 5) and it was great! I have a very short attention span yet found my self on the edge of my bike seat the entire time. The tour makes several stops at important locations which gives your rear a little brake from the seat. Bikes were high end and in great... More

My wife and I took our 12 and 9 1/2 year old sons to Gettysburg over Columbus Day Weekend. We booked the Gettysbike Tours. This was definitely the most engaging, entertaining tour I have ever taken. You get to see this historical location from a totally different perspective than most tours. Bruce, our tour guide, was a wealth of knowledge... More
