Traveler reviews
The pick-up location they...
The pick-up location they chose is one of many Shakespeare theaters. But the staff doesn’t seem to understand that and we waited an hour for nothing. We would have been much better off just taking an uber to Gettysburg and back as the tour was just a van ride with nothing else.
Great experience!
Galen was a great host, he was friendly and warm. Galen made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of the entire trip to Gettysburg. Pick up was easy and communication was great before the trip and the morning of. The Gettysburg museum was incredible and the downtown Gettysburg area was great to explore. We had a fantastic tour with Garry the tour guide from Gettysburg museum, he was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. The entire day was great and I would definitely recommend this tour. A huge thanks to Galen and Garry!
Gettysburg National Military Park Tour (full day)
We had a fantastic full day tour to Gettysburg. Galen Ren was a great tour guide who made sure we were comfortable and happy. He was very kind and we could not be more thankful. He also provided bug spray which came in very handy! Gettysburg was an incredible experience, from the museum to the downtown area - we would recommend the local artifact store near Starbucks. We had a battlefield tour with a local qualified tour guide Gary - he was just as fantastic and knowledgeable. Overall, we could not recommend this tour enough (especially in this early September heat).
Wonderful battlefield experience
This is one of the best trip that I have taken. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable and share many interesting historical facts about revolutionary war and civil war. He is amazing and lead a great tour of Gettysburg.
Great All Day Experience.
Dress for walking on uneven surfaces. Inquire about group size and vehicle for transportation. Enough time to see everything. Film and Cyclorama were wonderful. Driver Galen was knowledgeable. Had a great lunch downtown at Lincoln's cafe. Great menu.
