Exceptional tour of the town! Our guide, Karen, was wonderful and so interesting! We could have listened to her stories for hours! A true depiction of Gettysburg history they don't teach in history books! Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking one of our tours and for such a positive review. Karen is one of our newest guides, but she is already a pro!

We took the walking tour with Brad Gottfried and had a wonderful experience. I mentioned to him that I am most interested in the townspeople's experience and stories during the battle and he crafted the tour to highlight that. Brad is knowledgeble and entertaining and gave us new insights. Would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you for your review! Most of our guides are retired from their regular jobs and do this because of their passion for history and because they like interacting with others!
