We really enjoyed our Gettysburg walking tour with Doug Brown. Even though we had been to the museum and taken the Auto Tour the day before, we learned much about what it was like to be living then in Gettysburg and experience the battle and its aftermath. Thanks to the stories, we almost felt like we were there.

Excellent tour with Jerry LaRussa. We did the town tour. It’s great, after so many trips to Gettysburg, to learn new things in an area we hadn’t paid a great deal of attention to. Jerry was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and entertaining.

The small historic cemetery And the back alleys that most visitors would not have seen. Also like the history of the Bank and seeing the old vault door. Rosanne was a excellent guide
