Driver, Fred, and tour guide, Chris Rebmann, were great! Highly recommend the tour, and two hours only scratches the surface of the knowledge Chris has...

Our driver Russel was amazing and funny! Jim, our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and painted us a story with his words about the Battle of Gettysburg. He is very passionate about his job and it shows.

Usually bus trips are kind of blah, but this one blew me away. I could not get over the knowledge of the guide, and his passion for telling the story of the battle of Gettysburg. It was fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about this guide.

Well worth the time and money. We came to Gettysburg and were overwhelmed with history and had no idea where to begin. This tour was so well put together, it really gave us a grasp on where to start. The guides all have their own methods of touring and each time you go, it will be a different experience. Just to note-you can schedule a private tour for a couple of hours or for the whole day! This was an amazing experience and I would recommend it for anyone going to Gettysburg-even if you’ve been there before.

The tour was fantastic and informative. This is a must tour. Great experience! We were able to get off the bus several times and to get the interesting facts that we would have not known about doing this on our own. We were looking for a specific monument of a family member who was one one the Col. We were able to go back after the information from the tour and we found it.

This could have been a great tour if the tour guide hadn’t talked a blue streak. He never stopped talking for two hours, and he talked so fast that I couldn’t process everything he was saying. He sounded like an auctioneer, or somebody on TV reading advertisements. He definitely knew his stuff, but the brain can only absorb so much at one time – – – and understand what the speaker is saying. He talked so fast that he sounded like he was speaking another language. I spoke to him privately and asked if he would please speak more slowly. His answer was., “ I can’t do that and cover all my information.” He doesn’t have to give us every detail about Gettysburg in a two hour trip. He DOES need to slow down his speech, and give a few minutes of silence in between so people can process. He also needs to observe his tourists and see how many have eyes that are glazing over . I came back, exhausted from trying to listen so hard to his nonstop, rapid rambling. Also, he did not leave opportunity for people to ask questions. I interrupted him a few times to ask a question.
