It was a great tour. Very informational. Guide was interesting and light, and extremely knowledgable. I appreciated the stop at the top of little round hill to get perspective on the battle field. It over looked Devils den. We climbed the castle steps, and took pictures of the monuments there. The only down fall was the windows in the bus fogging so much because of the rain/condensation. Guide provided paper towels to help clear them, but had to do it quite often. No fault of anyone, but Mother Nature.

They day of the tour was a rainy day. Our guide Clay was great he made the most of each stop and was very knowledgeable. My kids age 10 and 12 whom have little interested in all the historical facts said they actually learned stuff about the battle not just that it was deadly. I would recommend this tour you get to sit and learn and see where all the battles were and all your questions get answered
