Booked the trip for the wrong day by accident, Addy at the front desk did her best to get us on a tour that day, very nice and professional staff. We did the double decker bus, it was a beautiful day so everyone sat up top. Narrator was fantastic, had a great speaking voice, very knowledge about the battle. Would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Gettysburg.

This tour was just OK. Tour guide was very passionate about the civil war history in the area and had many stories to tell but he talked so, so fast & I'm not sure if he wasn't talking loud enough or the PA system was bad but it was very difficult to understand much of what he was saying. We only were able to get off the bus at one place. I would have been happy to pay a little more for a longer tour where we could get out & really see & take photos of some of the sights.

Thanks for your review. Could you tell me the day and time you took the tour so that I can look into this further. We like everybody to have a great experience. Unfortunately, with so much to cover it is hard to stop more than once. Alot of visitors do the tour and go back to locations that interest them after to explore and take photos.
