My parents (70s) and I (50-ish) enjoyed our tour with John McTague; he was personable, knowledgeable, and had little tidbits of history we wouldn't have known otherwise. None of us had explored town prior to this walk, only having visited the battlefield and preferred to tour with a licensed guide with knowledge of the area. Plenty of time to stop, ask questions, take photos, share observations. All 3 of us look forward to returning to Gettysburg for another tour with John (Lincoln for the next tour!). We strongly recommend this company for anyone looking for an easy walk learning the history of Gettysburg.

Thanks for taking our tour with John (one of our most seasoned guides) and for letting us know that we might just see you again on another tour. We look forward to it!

Brenda was our guide for this tour. It just so happened, our family got a private tour. Brenda was professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. We walked through the town and learned new information as well as refreshed our previous knowledge. Thank you Brenda!
