A fun and interesting tour - We enjoyed our walking tour. The guide seemed quite knowledgeable and told several stories about the different citizens of Gettysburg and what they endured during the battle. I especially liked the statue of Lincoln and the story behind it. I’d definitely recommend taking all of the tours you can fit into your visit.

Extraordinary tour! - This tour is a fantastic way to learn the history of the “extraordinary ordinary” people of the town of Gettysburg. It is fascinating to learn how ordinary citizens stepped up and assisted with the war effort anyway they could. There were so many stories of bravery and compassion to learn. The battle, people and even buildings came to life with the vivid descriptions talked about by our wonderful guide. I would highly recommend taking the time to enjoy this experience.

Gettysburg walking tour - Our guide, Jack, was great!! Great tour around the downtown talking about Pres. Lincoln's visit and delivering his Gettysburg address. Seeing the buildings that were in existence during the battle. All of this was very interested. But, the stories and the descriptions!! Just visualize almost 100,000 war troops moving through the streets, shooting at each other and firing cannons down the streets. Imaging the brutal sounds amongst the chaos and the dredded smells. Imaging that there was no food afterwards and all the crops were destroyed......highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding Tour - Our tour guide, Kurt Kramer, gave us an exceptional tour of Gettysburg. His enthusiasm, sense of humor, and extensive knowledge made the experience truly memorable. We were so grateful for his hospitality that my wife and I enjoyed joining Kurt and his wife for dinner before we departed. As a result of our wonderful experience, Gettysburg has become our preferred destination for future getaways.

The Civilian Experence - Jerry was a very good tour guide. Enjoyed his knowledge and stories about the citizens of Gettysburg. Took water with us because it was a very hot day, he would find shade and stop there to talk, we appreciated that. Would recommend this tour.
