Bruce Davis was an awesome guide! He walked with us in the cold, windy weather and did not seem bothered by it at all. He knew a lot about the battle and Gettysburgs history in general. We loved this tour and would do it again!

My husband and I were the only two in the tour, but our guide, Brenda, did not make us feel rushed. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was fantastic and highly recommend it.
