Great tour!! The guide was very knowledgeable & very interesting. It made it so much more interesting knowing the history behind all the different monuments & what took place at each. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to tour the battlefield.

Our party found the tour very interesting. The guide was very informative, but the main criticism was that we could not hear very well what he was saying as his voice was drowned out by the noise of the air conditioning unit on the coach. We asked the driver at the first stop if he could turn it down, but he said he was not able to. It would therefore have been better if he had turned it off ! We were able to get off the bus three times including at a restroom. There is a lot to take in, in two hours, as the guide is talking constantly when on the bus. The driver also gave us some information before the tour began including the fact that some visitors do come back more than once as there is so much to take in.

We really enjoyed this tour - the driver and guide were very welcoming and knowledgeable - the guide was very entertaining - he held your interest - and I like how he just shared the facts with no side partiality - he knew the battle very well and shared it in a way that truly held your interest - we also enjoyed how he took us off the bus and put us in the battlefield as he told the story. It is hard to believe that so many lost their lives in such a beautiful place ... this battle forever changed our country and the world
