At the beginning of the tour we were told that recording video was not allowed. Once we arrived to the site I started to set up my tripod to start taking pictures because every stop at every monument is brief. I had a Hero camera which are easy to handle but their buttons are hard to press. While I was trying to set up the camera, that by default is on video when you turn it on, but I will quickly stop it, if it records anything it was probably e seconds of her voice, and the Hero facing down or sideways. Instead of asking me and pulling me aside, your guide ridiculed me by telling out loud and in front of all the people to stop recording her. I quickly apologized and tried to explain her that I was trying to set up the camera, but she interrupted me while I was apologizing and told me, “this is the second time that you are doing this’” After that I did not say anything because I was not going to get down to her level of ignorance and disrespect. It is just amazing to see that for someone who was observing me “recording her” because she probably saw the red light on the camera, she she not noticed that I have arthritis and have severe deformities on both of my hands, and that the explanation that I was giving her was true

We thoroughly enjoyed our bus top tour of the Gettysburg battle field and would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing the sights while hearing about from a certified guide. The headphones worked well and we could hear everything our guide said. The pace was quick and we would suggest studying up on the historic battle of July 1863 before going on this tour so you can follow along easier. Thank you John (guide), Elijah (driver) and Rose (chaperone).
