This is a wonderful, emotional full-day tour of three civil war sites detailing the Battle of Franklin. Julie, our tour driver, was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a lot at each site, and the free time we had in Franklin (about 90 minutes) allowed us to do some shopping and enjoy a great lunch at Puckett's Restaurant. Definitely recommend!
