We have been doing viator tours for several years in multiple cities and this hands down was the best tour we have been on. Driver was very accomodating and knowledgeable. Tour guide at Gettysburg was exceptional. Thye Gettysburg center and museum was excellent. This was well worth the money!!

Galen was our guide. He went above and beyond, always making sure we were comfortable and informed. The almost 2 hour drive each way was comfortable. Gettysburg Museum and Battlefield was amazing and large. We learned so much information from Denny the amazing tour guide at the battlefield, he knows it all! Instead of walking around downtown Gettysburg, Galen gave us the option of having more time at the museum and eating there. They have hamburgers, sandwiches, chicken, etc for decent prices, and it was pretty good (fries were excellent). This was an amazing day trip from DC. We were glad we had this opportunity to learn so much history.

Our guide/driver Galen was on time and considerate of the needs of the group. He navigated lots of D.C. traffic and even torrential rain safely. He provided some helpful background information about the battle of Gettysburg on the drive there. Once at the park, the museum, film and cyclorama were well done and engaging. (Wish we'd had more time for the museum & cyclorama.) Our battlefield guide, Gary, was terrific. He told the story of the historic confrontation from various points of the battlefield, providing helpful and interesting insights. This was a full day from D.C. to Gettysburg and back, but well worth it.

Key is the ability and willingness of the guide to share information in a clear and accessible way. Our guide was very good

From start to finish our driver, Galen was as helpfull as possible to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, with interesting facts on the way. We visited all the battle sites with a very experienced guide, Bob who was able to answer any questions accurately and with good humour. A long but very pleasurable day was had by us. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
