Great, two hour bus tour that seemed to just fly by. Our guide did an amazing job of walking us through not only the entire 3 day battle, but also the events leading up to it and the aftermath. His descriptions as we stopped at, or drove by, the various sites let you experience the actual sounds, sights and even smells of the battle.

I am so glad we decided to take a bus tour of the battlefields. David H. was our tour guide and he did an excellent job bringing the events of July 1-3 to life for his guests. He pointed out the significance of the fields, tree lines, and statues during the 2 hour tour. Numerous times, the bus stopped so we could walk around to take pictures and process the history around us. There was also one bathroom break half way through the tour. I strongly suggest this tour. It was 2 hours well spent.
