Very easy process of making reservations online and good communication from the company. Received an email the day before our scheduled tour telling us that our tour would be on a double decker bus and we were to be seated on top. If we preferred to be inside, they could move us to an earlier bus. I think this was due to the unseasonably warm weather in October. Also, due to COVID, limited number of people on bus with every other row occupied. Tour guide was good. Made 2 stops only - 1 for a rest stop and 1 at Little Round Top for photos. For first time visitors to Gettysburg and not huge Civil War buffs, this was a good tour.

My husband and I enjoyed our coach tour or Gettysburg Battlefield. The weather was perfect and both the driver and tour guide could not have been nicer and more engaging. We got to walk around the battlefield, and the accommodations on the bus were great! We highly recommend this company and tour!

This tour was amazing! It's a 2 hour bus tour that takes you through all the areas that the battles took place with several stops for photos and refreshments. The tour guide provides a very entertaining and informative narrative and makes this well worth the money. I recommend trying to get seats on the upper level of the bus as it is open air and provides a fantastic perspective of the area!
