This was our first trip to Gettysburg. I definitely recommend the 2-hour bus tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative throughout. Made a few stops to view the different areas, which was great. We were going to do the self-driving tour initially, glad we went with this instead!

Despite a well versed tour guide, we felt that the tour was "rushed"...regarding amount of information and area covered. If we toured again we would do a "private" tour to obtain a more personalized and better paced event.
