My husband and I were lucky enough to take a tour with Bill Hartman on July 1, 2024, he truly went above and beyond to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for Gettysburg history with us. I picked this tour because the docents are trained and licensed so you aren’t getting some college kid or a silly ghost tour. I hope that when we return we can take another tour with a person as knowledgeable as he is! I cannot recommend him enough! thank you Bill!

Karen was Great as a guide! Love getting more understanding about where each army was positioned in town and their impact on the citizens. The humanitarian story about the Confederates making dinner for a Union family hiding in their basement was heart warming. ❤️‍🩹
