We were on a tight schedule and wanted to see as much of the battlefield as possible. The front desk staff at our hotel recommended GBBT so we gave it a try. Our licensed guide was friendly and appeared to be very knowledgeable about the battle. He was able to answer any question that was asked and his passion for... More

First and foremost, you want to purchase the value package at the vistor's center. This will include the bus tour, museum, and cylcorama.

Our tour guide ellen was awesome. She really has a passion for history and the battle of Gettysburg. Answered every question accurately. Just the right amount of everything.

We had one screeching and talking throughout the tour and it was very distracting and difficult to hear the tour guide. This is a 2 hour tour on a bus, and it was not inexpensive. Unless your child can still still and quiet for that length of time, I don't recommend it.

If your visiting Gettysburg, you might want to take the bus tour. It was very insightful and interesting.
