The bus ride and information were great. It was a double decker bus and i had to dodge tree limbs a few times though they were small. They let us off 2 times and said we had strictly 10 minutes or they would leave us behind to walk 2 miles back to town. I found 10 minutes to be no time at all to see what we stopped to see and I found the comment about leaving us behind (including children) very calis and cold as well as rude. They stopped 1 time at their building for the bathroom and 1 time at little round top. This was very disappointing as we only stopped at 1 historical location also they drove to fast through town for their customers to even identify what they were talking about.

Thanks for your rating. Sorry you were disappointed in the tour. Unfortunately, with so much to cover in 2 hours we are not able to allot a longer time frame at the stops. Next time try either the Enclosed Coach Bus or maybe look into a Private Guide. Also, we do mention to watch out for trim limbs at the beginning of the tour. We do trim the trees in the spring to help with the low lying limbs. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Our guide was AMAZING with all the history that he gave us. He started at the beginning and worked the way thru the 3 day battle. The stops along the way were very informative and moving too. If you are going to visit Gettysburg, 1st stop is the visitors center, then a bus tour. This will then peak your interests so you know better where to spend your time at. So much to see and do.
