Excellent tour with certified Battlefield tour guide. Well worth it. Take either Gettysburg foundation or private company 2 hour tour. Both identical.

Didn’t think you needed to arrive 30min ahead of time. It would have been nice to know you could pick up the bus at either the tour terminal or the visitor center.

The tour couldn’t have been more enjoyable. It was as great for the Civil War fan (me) as it was for my young children. Just a terrific opportunity and I’m really glad we took it!

This tour is great for those that know little about Gettysburg and want a general tour! 2 hour bus tour and we got off the bus 3 or 4 times to further explore some parts. Knowledgeable tour guide. Tour office/gift shop was a little discombobulated (didn’t use digital tickets, had to cross check paper lists, etc.) but overall tour was just what we needed.Wonderful narrator.

The bus tour was great, the guide was a well informed historian. I would recommend taking the bus tour to get the lay of the land and history but then follow up with a tour by private car to allow for more stops at monuments. Although the reservation and a posted sign at the boarding site stated that masks were required, we were told upon boarding that no masks were necessary. If you are at high risk for Covid and complications, know that masking is not being enforced.
