Traveler reviews
Great All Day Experience.
Dress for walking on uneven surfaces. Inquire about group size and vehicle for transportation. Enough time to see everything. Film and Cyclorama were wonderful. Driver Galen was knowledgeable. Had a great lunch downtown at Lincoln's cafe. Great menu.
Well worthwhile
Galen did a great job! He was very personable and knowledgeable. He was prompt and courteous and made sure we knew when and where to meet. He even went out of his way to deliver us to our hotel afterwards. The tour was very interesting and educational and gave us a new perspective on the Civil War.
Amazing Gettysburg Experience
The Gettysburg experience is amazing especially if you’re interested in the history of the Civil War. The battlefield was larger than I expected. Our guide Galen was super nice and helpful!
Great day trip!
Great day trip: Galen was excellent driver/guide and the Gettysburg activities were excellent: time at the museum and fascinating cyclorama, time for lunch in the town (we went to Blue and Gray which was good food at a fair price), and then a 2.5hr guided tour of the battlefield which really brought it to life. Overall an excellent day.
Very good tour!
Very good tour! Driver was very knowledgeable about the sites heading from DC to Gettysburg and eager to make sure we were comfortable. Our Gettysburg Park guide was very nice and provided very thorough descriptions of the events on the battle field!
