Gettysburg came to life - Everything ran on time from pick-up until our return to DC. The docent led car tour through the Gettysburg battlefield was enlightening and packed with details. The visitor’s center was very nice. We needed more time for the museum.

Great tour - Our driver Amy was very good and told us what to expect. We spent some time on the visitors centre watching the film and then we had Les as our battlefield guide. He was excellent, really knew his stuff.

Great tour - Great tour. Galen was a very courteous and safe driver, taking us from DC to Gettysburg. The Gettysburg expert guide who hopped in the van for two hours once we actually arrived in Gettysburg was a highlight. He was a wealth of knowledge. Lots of good options for lunch in old town Gettysburg. The movie, cyclorama, and museum were nice as well. It was nice to have the day organized for us instead of renting a car, driving ourselves, and trying to coordinate all the activities ourselves as well.

Vivid memory of a great battle - We had a terrific time! Amy, Greg, and Fred were just great! We learned so much about America's greatest battle, including its history, the stories of souvenirs, sights along the battlefield, and other anecdotal information. It will never dim in our memories! We highly recommend visiting the museum and battlefield. No other battle site in America is preserved and made accessible this way. Thank you, Amy, Greg, Fred, and the museum.

Totally Awesome single day tour! - Excellent tour and well worth the money. Our driver Galen was courteous and informative and helpful; the tour guide at Gettysburg National Park was terrific. Really knew his history and was passionate about it. The small group tour had only 5 people and so we were taken very good care of and Galen dropped us back at our individual hotels. A very pleasant and informative experience and we didn’t have to hassle with ticket purchases, car rentals, driving etc. I highly recommend this tour

EXCELLENT TOUR !! - Never having been to Gettysburg (but having read much about this historic event, and seeing including Ken Burns' excellent documentary from the 1990s), I was looking forward to this tour. My expectations were greatly surpassed. Our tour guide, Galen, was excellent as well.

Gettysburg - From the pick-up point, Amy, our driver and guide, was excellent and knowledgeable. Very bubbly and made the journey fun. Our guide David at Gettysburg was also very good.

Take this tour - Amy, our driver was wonderful. She told us things to expect and things to look for. She was well versed in the region. Our tour guide from the Gettysburg National Museum, Gary, that rode through the park with us was the best. He told the story of the battle in such an interesting way. He answered our questions and really knew his subject matter. We thought we might drive to Gettysburg and visit the battlefield on our own. So glad we took this tour instead. Worth it!

Great Day Trip to Gettysburg - Taking a group tour from Washington DC to visit Gettysburg was the ideal method for my friends and I to experience this important historical sight. We are fortunate to have a driver/guide, Galen, who went out of his way to make the trip special. From ensuring a comfortable ride to helping us understand the history of Gettysburg before we arrived, Galen made the trip special. The tour itself leaves you plenty of time to visit the spectacular visitor center with artifacts from Gettysburg and a Cyclorama (large panoramic painting of the battle) along with a ranger-led vehicle tour of the battle grounds. Would highly recommend this tour for those who only have time for a day trip from Washington DC.
