We got this tour from Groupon and we were glad we chose it. We're from California so coming to Pennsylvania and the summer is a little bit of a climate change for us. It's really humid so I am glad we chose to do the air conditioned bus. The guy was very knowledgeable and he was easy to understand and we stopped and saw some really incredible sites. It was super educational and very humbling. With that being said, there are so many different types of tours one could do and I might've limited myself by just looking at what Groupon had. Later I saw reenactment tours, more stops along the way and different options I didn't know I had. Overall I was happy with the tour. They are worth booking read more

Great day for a 2 hour bus tour of the battlefield. Our tour guide was amazing! The bus was comfortable and the air conditioning was also great. I would recommend doing the tour of the battlefield as we received a plethora of information we would have not received elsewhere. read more

Third time here in Gettysburg, but it's been a while. Only had a 1/2 day so we decided to do a double-decker bus tour this time. Although we saw a lot of the history (battlefields), I really didn't enjoy it. The drive was disorienting and too fast. But it's not the bus/tour company's fault. It is what it is. You can only pack so much into 2 hours. My suggestion.... Spend the full day in Gettysburg, and do the self-driving tour. read more

Fun experience. Tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We had safe travels. Double decker bus. We sat on top. Don't forget to wear a hat and sunscreen. Bring water. See lots without having to drive your car or walking. read more

In concept this could be a great tour. In reality it lacks in its finish. The tour bus is what it is. An open top double decker. We sat on top and had a good view. It was a little scary at some of the trees and street signs. Phil was our tour guide. He seemed knowledgeable and almost never stopped talking. Maybe too much talking. While it was a moving bus tour, we never seemed to stop and a lot of the memorials were just blurs. We saw a lot of Memorials for a lot of different groups. We learned about how the 2 sides would use the terrain to change their strategy etc. Since there were only 1 stop for just a few minutes it was hard to actually see what was happening. The tour could be better with a few actual history moments read more

The tour was overall good, our guide was very knowledgeable but gave so much information that I lost track of history here and there. I feel like he told us the history to just say it, but not really keep us engaged. It didn't help that there was a motorcycle rally while we were on the double decker bus, because it was hard to hear our guide. We got rained on, from the top deck, but they provided us free ponchos to continue the tour. What I did appreciate about the tour company, was that they kindly rolled us over to the next tour when we were running late from an emergency. They were very accommodating and nice enough to let us join the next tour. They also have a really great gift shop with souvenirs of Gettysburg with small snacks, and clean restrooms. Overall a good experience! read more

I had such a great time on this tour. Mask are strictly enforced! We purchased tickets for the double decker and sat on top to enjoy the nice view (top or bottom seats are designated on your tickets). Gettysburg is such a nice small town and it definitely felt like we were going back in time by just being there. The tour guide, Jim, was very knowledgeable and told us tons of facts about the battle and the city. Connie was an excellent driver! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get out of the city and explore. read more

I contacted the tour from this place and I got the personal tour guy from here. My tour guy is very knowledgeable, helpful, super professional and care much about their customer. I also see they have a regular tour in a bus for big group or bus tour. read more

The husband and I had a fantastic tour and really enjoyed our knowledgeable guide (sorry, we did not get his name). He made the battle easy to understand and was extremely passionate about the information he was relaying. Our bus driver was wonderful and made sure that as we got on and off the bus that we were warm enough and comfortable. The gift shop was also well stocked and we were able to pick up a few items to bring home for ourselves and family (not to mention some chocolate). I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about the battle of Gettysburg. read more

Arrived at the bus tour for the 6pm double decker bus tour. Got there 15 minutes early. Our group missed our bus because there was no communication telling anybody that they changed the tour bus. The clerk was no help. She just shrugged her head like oh well! I will never buy anything affiliated with this company again. The lack of communication with the people that missed the bus because they were so inept is truly the last straw for me. read more

Great tour, even on a rainy day. Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and presented in an entertaining way. Was a little rushed though. After the tour, I would drive around on my own to stop at some of the places we drove by to see more up close. read more

If you're going to learn about the Battle of Gettysburg, discovery its history or view the battlefields, the best way to start is to get yourself orientated and gain a fundamental understanding of what you are looking at. In order to do this, the best way to get started is with Gettysburg Battlefield Bus Tours. So, grab a seat on the open top deck and get started. The narrators are actually certified as battlefield tour guides and know every detail of what they are talking about. Besides that, when at stops, they are more than willing to answer any personal or particular questions you may have. The starting place of the bus tours is souvenir shop located in the Gettysburg Visitors Parking area which offers plenty of parking; all free of charge. The buses are of recent vintage, clean and comfortable. As far as bus tours go, and I've been on plenty of them all over the world, this is one of the better. read more

A must do before venturing out on your own. Our bus driver was great. Our tour guide Joel was beyond fabulous. A real knowledge of all things civil war. The bus tour gives you a great feel of actually what occurred on these hallowed ground before venturing out on your own. If you can only do one thing in Gettysburg, take this bus tour. read more

Excellent tour of the battle. Well-spoken tour guide that knew a TON about various battles, key players, dates, etc. I've been to Gettysburg National Park multiple times, but never learned as much as I did on this two-hour tour. I hope to take another with a different focus the next time we visit. Would highly recommend! read more

Was very disappointed in this tour. First and most important you don't get off the bus except one time to see the sites. The bus goes rather fast so it's a waste of money. Pointed out bullet holes in buildings but we went to fast to see . Save your money and doWnload the app and go yourself. That's what we wound up Doing . The other bus tours seem to stop and tell the stories of monuments . One thing positive I have to say the bus driver took those sharp turns like a pro. read more

Horrible. A goofy recording of actors yelling at each other while the driver drove aimlessly around the battlefield. No one had a clue what we were looking at, and the so-call tour guide just flirted with the driver, never giving out any info, or talk, nor points of interest what-so-ever. Absolutely nothing. We stopped three times: First had no idea where we were until we read the signs. Then stopped once again so they could sell chips and drinks. The third stop we all determined it was at Pickets charge,, but not until everyone on the bus eventually figured it out on our own. The so-called guide was a big dopie idiot that said nor pointed out nothing. This is simply a cattle call with indifferent employees, and a ridiculous attempt at a tour. As bad as it gets and they are well aware of it. Avoid this, yet another,, Gettysburg tourist trap business. read more

We sat up top on a sunny day and enjoyed the unique view of everything! I am not usually one to do "touristy" things, but this was a good way to get -literally- an overview of the key sites of the battle. The bus goes thru town, and thru open fields and thick forest - and yes it is a bit frightening when you go under traffic lights and utility lines! Sometimes a tree branch gets friendly. But you get to see everything from a grand height. Not often can you drive thru a town and look at the second stories directly. In town, our guide pointed out cannonball and bullet scars on buildings, and relayed some interesting stories from those fateful days in July 1863. In the surrounding fields and forests, he showed us numerous monuments (it's the most marked battlefield in the world) and tried to help us visualize the troop movements and lines. Yes it moves fast, as others have said, but there was a lot going on during the battle, with tens of thousands of people doing things! Bottom line: if you're here to do doctoral research on Chamberlain, then maybe this is too broad a tour for you. But if you're here to get a sense and catch a glimpse of these men who made history at Gettysburg, then it's well worth your time. read more

We went to the gift shop to inquiry about the tour. Saw a double decker bus with visitors getting ready to on a battlefield tour. The shop carries lots of stuff: toys, souvenirs, books, etc. Quite a big store so the setup was quite good, bigger aisles and spacious. read more

Did this tour with the Scouts. WOW.... did not expect the tour to be that in-depth and long. They even stop 1/2 way for a bathroom/snack break. The tour guide is very passionate about the history. Seen things that we would have missed for sure. I recommend sitting on the top, you will see lots you will miss from the ground. Their gift shop is great, I was able to snag some cool gifts from discount table. Will be back for sure.... read more

I cannot say enough good things about this tour. The ticketing process was simple and the prices were reasonable. What made this tour truly outstanding was our tour guide Christina Moon. My family felt like we were actually in the middle of the battle! My 16 year old son was enthralled!! We are coming back and I will make sure to take the tour when she is working. AWESOME! read more

We took the double decker bus tour and chose the top which offered great views of the battlefield...and how often do you get to be about a foot away from a traffic light?! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable as he was a licensed battlefield guide so he knew just about everything you could want to know and he also mixed in some humor which made the tour that much more enjoyable. They offer a 15 min or so break in the middle of the tour to use a restroom or grab a drink and they also make a stop at Little Round Top where you're allowed to exit the bus. read more

Had the pleasure to take this bus tour of the battlefield of Gettysburg this last weekend! Now we were there on a cold January Saturday afternoon. Up side to this was no big crowds - only 11 people on the bus, no leaves on trees made the battlefield easier to see. Down side was of course the cold and only one stop to walkabout at the Round top which was amazing but short lived due to chilly wind threatening to freeze my face off. Bus is very comfortable, huge oversized windows everywhere make for excellent visibility. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and would stop the recording of the tour when appropriate to point things out. How this works is there is a recording which is first person narrated to be at that point in time, during the battle. At first this seemed hokey but if you listen its actually quite effective. This with the driver's additions made for a wonderful tour. Two hours long, one stop for the restroom half way through. The battlefield is so enormous - I had NO idea of course how huge this place was so taking a tour like this is essential to understanding and getting the most out of this historic site. In places you see the damage to the original buildings, most of which still stand, including a cannon ball wedged into an upper portion of a brick barn. The best part of the tour was the pause to experience last charge of day three by the confederates. Of note the tour is extremely unbiased pro Union or Confederate which is much appreciated. Overall, highly recommend this bus tour - you will not regret it! read more

This is the best way to start of your tour when you get here. For $43 (adult price) you are given a 2 hour tour of the entire battlefield with stops at Devil's Den, Little Round Top and other spots where you deboard and are able to wander. It's a great way to see all the sites before coming back later in your car for further exploring. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. This price came with added admission into 3 other historical attractions in Gettysburg than you can choose from a list. Highly informative and recommended. read more

Expensive, glad we took the tour. Want to make sure the tour I am referring is the one where tickets are purchased from the Gettysburg Visitors Center operated by the National Park Service. The battlefield is too large to get a good perspective without a guide. Informative two hour tour with tour guide commentary was perfect! There are three or four stops and opportunities to get off the bus to hear commentaries highlighting key battles during the three day engagement in 1863. Interestingly, the tour does not stop at the location nearby where Lincoln made his famous speech. The location of Lincoln's speech is at the Soldier National Cemetery adjacent to the battlefield which can be explored on your own for free. read more

Took a Double Decker Bus tour on our trip. My husband, kids (6,4 and 1), and myself all enjoyed this! We were hesitant taking young kids, but we purchased top seating. The kids wore their headphones and listened attentively to the guide! They remembered quite a bit and even reiterated what they learned while we were exploring on our own. This is a must for anyone visiting the area and wanting to get a good overview! read more

These tours are a must do when you come to town. You will learn so much about the horrific battle that took place. The museum is also a must! read more

We enjoyed this tour a lot! We were able to get on last minute, buying tickets just about 10 minutes before the bus boarded to leave. Unfortunately we were there on Day 1 of the government shut down and many roads were closed as well as monuments, battle fields etc. This altered the tour route greatly! However, our guide and bus driver did an excellent job rerouting the tour and still providing us with a great deal of information and sites to see! They gave us our money's worth for the full 2 hours so I still felt like it was worth it. read more

Good price but a great view sit up on top to get the good views of the battlefields and also famous places to see we made two stops one in the cemetery and the other up on the ridge it was really pretty good the two hour tour even gave us a break only $30 for two hours not bad read more

Very knowledgable tour guide and really quite enjoyable. I wish they had a longer than 2 hour option there is just so much to learn and see. My advice is stick with the main tour and skip the dorky little museums they are not worth your time. read more

We took a battlefield tour with Gettysburg Battlefield Tours. We were supposed to be on the double decker but it was a rainy day today so we had an enclosed bus. Our driver was Connie and our tour guide was Dave. Connie is an extra safe driver and usually drives the double decker bus. Dave was an excellent tour guide and was a wealth of information and talked for nearly two hours straight and spoke loud and clear. His narrative brought the empty fields to life. He also answered our questions. Bottom line if you are booking this tour be sure to get on Dave's bus.There was a nice break midway for the toilet and coffee and snacks. read more

Can't say enough about my battlefield tour. Our driver was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The double decker bus was clean and allowed for some great views around town. If you're hear to tour the Gettysburg battlefields do yourself a favor and take this tour to start your journey. read more

This is a two hour tour of the Gettysburg battlefields which were much larger than we expected. Our tour guide did an excellent job of explaining the events that took place in Gettysburg. It was a hot day on Saturday, so we really wished either of the two fans on the bus were in working condition, but they weren't! Other than that it was an excellent experience. read more

I loved this tour- it was my favorite of all the things we did while in Gettysburg. The driver was Charlie, but I can't remember the tour guide which is unfortunate because he was awesome. He told me he had been giving tours for 27 years and you could tell, he was quite knowledgeable. He did talk a bit fast but there was so much info to absorb I don't think him speaking slower would have helped my comprehension any. Their website says buy tickets 24hrs in advance but we didn't and it wasn't a problem. I called in the am and they put my name on a list and we had no issues. The tour was 2 hours, $30/person and 100% worth both the time and money. read more

Great tour, Jack was very knowledgeable and had a great attitude. I would recommend anyone who hasn't came to Gettysburg to do so and take this tour. read more

Fantastic trip here! I don't know if this is the type of business that checks Yelp regularly, but we had a great time. Christine was our guide and Charlie drove the bus- both were very courteous and knowledgeable. Christine said at the beginning that she was suffering from allergies, but came through like a champ. She made the tour very enjoyable and gave us some ideas for places to go back and explore on our own. My one qualm is that the bus didn't stop to visit Devil's Den, but we were planning to go back that way anyways. Overall, it a great experience with plenty of interesting stories and history that really enhanced seeing the battlefield. For the 150th anniversary they really came through, even during a very busy tourist season. I was really impressed by it all! read more

Bob Gale was our tour guide, and he was great. I highly recommend these tours to get your feet on the ground before heading out on your own.

My husband and I took the licensed guided bus tour and it was great. We both learned so many interesting facts. Our tour guide was great. You could tell he was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He would point things out and make sure we could all see exactly what he was talking about even if it was in the distance. We traveled all around the battlefields and when we would change location he would show us in the distance where we just came from so we could get our bearings and kinda visualize the war as it happened. Great tour, great tour guide. Highly recommend. read more
