My wife and I always try to find a double decker tour bus whenever we travel. This one was great! The tour guide tells you things you will never hear in a history book and was very knowledgeable about Gettysburg and the battle. Money well spent!

Our tour guide, Joel, made this the most enjoyable experience of our visit thus far. He was a walking encyclopedia of this three day battle. His delivery was just right, not too fast or slow, but plenty loud enough. He was a very humble guy, and was not condescending at all. Answered all questions thoroughly. I asked if he could show us a “witness” tree and he did, when he could later on. He didn’t forget me. The bus was air conditioned and the windows were extra large for easy viewing. Joel explained everything where I felt like I had a newfound grasp of the Battle of Gettysburg. I have read and studied it a lot at age 73, but this tour really put it all together for me. Worth the money. You don’t want to miss it. If every guide is like Joel, and I’ll bet they are, you’re going to be wowed, whether you get Joel or not. Thanks, Joel.
