I was very happy with my son in law's recommendation. My son in law recommended the value pack of tickets and it was well worth the price. I believe it was 62.50 per person. That entitled us to the battlefield tour in an air conditioned bus, and visits to three other tours-museums. I thought the price was great. Paul Bausermann was our tour guide and in a word- PHENOMENAL!! He was likable, entertaining, engaging, incredibly smart, had a great sense of humor and his timing was impeccable. I don't think anyone could hold a candle to his enthusiasm, vigor, and story telling. I learned so much about cannons, the battle, and those who fought. So many interesting facts- interesting that The Military Academy used to have seniors spend three weeks on the battlefield in order to graduate. Now they don't- what a stupid decision on their part!! Unfortunately I can't recall the name of our bus driver but he was excellent too! He did walk with a crutch and looked ultra professional in uniform- thank you!! He had been a driver for I think he said 50 years or so starting in the 1970's. They made a great team!!! As someone in the safety department, I appreciated his very safe driving! It's not easy maneuvering a bus that size into parking areas or along the road, but he made it seem pretty easy. I highly recommend this touring company. They are wonderful. I especially appreciate the abundant FREE parking!! It is nothing like the mess we have in Jim Thorpe, the money grab, congestion and parking nightmares in Jim Thorpe thankfully are not the case in lovely Gettysburg. I would definitely go on another tour with this company. They don't ask for tips but please do tip if you enjoyed the tour- I tipped both and they really appreciated it. If I could give a billion stars, I would.

If you only take one guided tour at Gettysburg- do this one!! It was AMAZING - an experience I'll…read morenever forget!! These guides are highly trained and specialized and insanely knowledgeable- we had excellent discussion and so much in depth learning about the battlefield as we trotted along. The carriage is Victorian style and very comfortable- and ours was pulled by two gorgeous Percheron mares, Kate and Trina - sisters!! They were so beautiful and so sweet! Sarah and Bogey (sp??) were our our drivers and they were so great to the horses and very skilled at handling anything that came up. Our guide was Chris and he was just incredible- I'd be shocked if there was anything he didn't know about Gettysburg lol!! Even his ancestors were part of the battle! Not only did he provide tons of info about the ins and outs of the battle, but he also dropped fun little pearls of trivia along the way - things like how the shapes of certain monument bases have different meanings and how the "avenues" were put in for tourists lol!! The guides have to pass a rigorous learning/testing regime to even be able to do the tours so you know they know their stuff! The tour is totally fun - but also treated with the utmost respect for the gravity of the subject - so many lives lost - such a tragic and heavy piece of history. I strongly urge anyone to take a guided tour on your visit - interacting with such knowledgeable guides really helps get a better understanding of the battle and the core issues etc. The tour starts in town at the Gettysburg Heritage Center - very easy to find and plenty of parking. They pick you up in the carriage right out front and off you go! The tour lasts around 2 hours and they let you interact with the horses afterwards if you want! Can't recommend it enough!!

The host of this tour, Truman was phenomenal. He has such a passion for history and Gettysburg that…read morereally stands out more than most guides. I believe if we had more people like him giving history tours the generations now would be more interested in learning. Well done sir! The carriage company pricing was fair, the carriage itself was beautiful, and the two ladies driving were very kind. Would definitely recommend!

I'd never been to Gettysburg before. So of course I jumped on Yelp to see what I could find in the…read moreway of bus tours. This is the first that came up. I checked out the website and was surprised how affordable the tour was. When we got there, Ed took us in and got us signed up. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours (close to three with the breaks). It was very informative and we hit all the highlights of the town and the battlefields. There is only maybe one or two stops where you can get out and take pictures....but you get familiar with the area so you can drive back through at your leisure and take all the photos you like wherever you choose. Would I recommend this tour company? Absolutely! There are also other ways to see Gettysburg (horseback, mini motorcycle/carts)....but a bus tour I think is the best way to go!

He knows his stuff and we all walked away knowing things that we didn't before! The bus was rad!! The horn is the best! We did stop at a McDonalds so we could get food, refreshments and use the restroom. I thought this was a great idea as the tour was 3 hours. You don't stop and get at the attractions but it's so helpful knowing where all the roads lead and exactly what happened and where. Audio recording was used VERY briefly. Maybe 15 minutes total. Other than that it was Glen talking Thank you for a fantastic ride!!

I am an avid paranormal fan, and wanted a hands on experience for ghost hunting. I was worried we…read morewould be presented with "parlor tricks." However, this experience went beyond my expectations. We did the 8:30-11:30 tour, and was grouped with about 10 other people. The locations are large, and there was enough space for individual investigation at each location. I actually found the most incredible evidence when we investigated as a group by asking questions together using a spirit box. Clinton, our guide, was genial & knowledgable. The locations to drive to were not too far, and driving in the dark was a lot of fun! We were given a run down of all the devices we could use, and I had no issues wanting to use whatever equipment I wanted at the locations despite there being many people. I would definitely book again with this company. Well worth the money for three hours, and able to go to locations with so much history we wouldn't have otherwise known about.

I decided to update my review based solely on the recent response from the business manager…read more Although I did not decrease the stars, I would like to add to the review to ensure those reading are well informed. To respond to reviews posted over nine months ago by accusing honest reviewers of being "competitors" and implying that we didn't take the tour because she can't find our names in her tour list FROM OVER NINE MONTHS AGO is ridiculous, immature, and unprofessional. If you read almost any review that gives less than 5 stars, there are accusations from the manager of us not being actual customers. I encourage everyone to read those responses and decide if this is a business you truly want to support. To prove I was on the tour, SPOILER ALERT, the "Brooke" entity is at the Eisenhower Bridge and was supposedly murdered, according to Clinton - although, research found no documentation of this incident. Also, if the company has exclusive access to 54 acres that are next to the battlefield, then why did we set up on a picnic table under the shelter just to listen to ghost stories? We were only permitted to walk around the trail that borders the dog park and I assure you, that area was NOT 54 acres.

The ground at the Farnsworth Inn where the restaurant is is covered in wood chips; meaning the feet do NOT lay level on the ground. If you lean back you can fall back and if you land wrong crack your skull on one of the rocks if you are on the perimeter which I was. That was bad; worse was the brain dead girl who saw my blood on my hand and knee ( my knee was bad) and instead of saying "let me tell me manager and are you OK?" She says DUMBLY, "Sorry". this did no good at all obviously. I would not eat there until they level the ground the chairs are on outside and hire intelligent helpful people. "Sorry" was NOT what I wanted to hear. Care for me and the future people who gently lean back in their chairs to relax and then crash into a bed of bricks and rocks is the correct approach. Really really bad place

Staff were fun, easy to engage and made all participants feel welcomed and comfortable no matter their riding experience. As a solo party they made me feel welcomed and included. The horses were wonderfully well behaved. The tour guide was knowledgeable and easy to engage. The tour guide informed us that this is a female owned business and is highly ethical. They have many horses so they never have to use the same ones each day. Would definitely recommend and will be returning I'm sure!

The pros: The staff is awesome. They get 6 stars. They did a great job explaining safety and how to handle the horse. This is extremely helpful for those with no riding experience. They provide helmets and a radio receiver with an earbud to listen to some canned recording explaining some background of personnel, battles, and music.You get to ride right next to some historic buildings and farmhouses that you wouldn't be able to on a road or bus tour. The cons: Unless you get a certified guide, they are not allowed to narrate the history of the battle as you ride along the trail. We did not have a guide along with our group for the ride so it was fairly quiet most of the ride. Unless you are very well versed with the locations of the army units and battle locations, the ride might be a bit confusing. If you can tie this into the end of a visit to Gettysburg with the museum, film, bus or car tour, then it will be a blast.
