Definitely would recommend -- our guide was a retired NASA engineer, and he put the battle together for us in such an interesting way. The tour was done site by site, chronologically over how things went down in the 3-day battle. The only thing that could have been better was if we had signed up for the package to see the cyclorama and museum, as well.

We took the same tour in the 1990's and we looked forward to doing it again. It was a cold and windy day but we sat on the top of the bus so we could see better. Glad we had our winter coats and hats and gloves even though it was April. We needed them. We had a stop half way through to go to the bathroom and get a cup of coffee which helped keep my hands warm for the second half of the trip. We also had the option of getting off for 20 minutes at Little Round Top but we stopped by here the day before when it was warmer and walked around so we stayed on the bus. I would have given it five stars except our guide talked too fast and mumbled a lot so it was hard for us to understand what he was saying some of the time. I think it would have been better had he slowed down just a little bit.
