Great Tour! - We had an enjoyable afternoon learning about the stories of the civilians who lived in the town of Gettysburg during the battle. Karen was so knowledgeable and it was such an interesting perspective to hear. Highly recommend this tour!

Unforgettable experience! - First time in Gettysburg and I am so happy my group booked this tour. Jerry was an amazing tour guide, the kind makes you forget you’re even on a tour and instead you feel like you’re living inside of a documentary. I’d highly recommend anyone to book this tour especially if it’s your first time visiting the town!

Wonderful walk on a cool, cloudy day - My parents (70s) and I (50-ish) enjoyed our tour with John McTague; he was personable, knowledgeable, and had little tidbits of history we wouldn't have known otherwise. None of us had explored town prior to this walk, only having visited the battlefield and preferred to tour with a licensed guide with knowledge of the area. Plenty of time to stop, ask questions, take photos, share observations. All 3 of us look forward to returning to Gettysburg for another tour with John (Lincoln for the next tour!). We strongly recommend this company for anyone looking for an easy walk learning the history of Gettysburg.

Walking tour - Brenda was our guide for this tour. It just so happened, our family got a private tour. Brenda was professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. We walked through the town and learned new information as well as refreshed our previous knowledge. Thank you Brenda!

walking tour of Gettysburg - Getting the full picture of the battle from tje towns perspective. Can you imaging 100,000 soldiers coming into town with wounded and dying. Horses pulling cannons. North entreaties and shooting at the south pursuers. The confederates came from the north and occupied the town for two days.

A great tour to experience the past of Gettysburg - This tour tells the story of those citizens who were caught up in the crossfire between the confederates and union soldiers. Story telling is exceptional.
