The tour is accompanied by a tour guide, using an earbud and receiver to talk about the battles and the different stages of the tour as you go along. They also have 2 additional employees that ride along to deal with any rowdy horses, to stop traffic, or really handle anything that comes up along the way. This is nice as I have only rode a horse once before, and it's helpful to have someone to assist if your horse doesn't want to listen (mine was actually pretty good). Overall, we had a great time and would like to do it again with my son next time.

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!

One of…read morethe other tour guides scoffed when I mentioned we had booked Civil War Tours so I was nervous about the quality but I thought my money was well spent. Our tour guide was Clinton and he was pleasant and knowledgeable and also an excellent storyteller. He told us five ghost stories that included great historical information about the areas we were in. It gave a lot of context to our visit and helped us to understand more of what happened in town during those days in 1863. I had a 5 year old and a 10 year old on the tour and while the 5 year old was a little bored he was still engaged enough. The 10 year old loved it and absorbed every detail. Overall I would say that the knowledge of the guides and their ability to accommodate larger groups safely and also take last minute bookings deserve a 5 star review.

He shared with us personal experiences, real history of the homes and battles that actually took place here and also shed light on contradictions and gave us good perspective on Gettysburg's history. His persona and knowledge is so fitting for the touring experience and we could have spent hours (maybe days) touring the town and battlefields with him. Two thumbs way up for Jason. Incredible experience.

Our walking tour with Ken Rich was excellent! Knowing about the battles is important of course and…read moreKen's knowledge of them is extensive, but he helped us understand what was going on in the town with real people and real families. We stood on the streets and in front of homes as he described how the battles wound around and through their lives. We saw homes that became hospitals and barracks. And heard fascinating stories about heroes that weren't just on the battlefield. Ken's interesting whether he's telling a light anecdote or a dramatic story. Yes, tour the battlefield but definitely include a tour of the town with Ken. It will make your visit to Gettysburg more complete! Linda & Richard

Terry and her team are very welcoming and super knowledgeable on the history of Gettysburg and the horses. You can tell the staff cares and loves all the horses that they work with. They knew all of their quirks and past history. All these horses are rescued and it is so amazing to have the opportunity to contribute to this organization and ride a horse who has been built up by this amazing caring team. I had the pleasure of riding Gus who is an ex Amish work horse and the gentlest giant. Terry is truly so kind, accommodating, and very educated about the history of the battlefield and her horses. Her story telling was great and I could picture everything happening as Terry was explaining it to us. Terry also gave us the confidence to mount and ride our horses through the trails and how to properly handle them. The views were amazing and we had a great view of the blue ridge mountains in sight. We also had the pleasure of a nice breeze brushing through the peaceful battlefields as we rode the very tidy and well kept trails. If I could do this everyday I would and I'm so thankful to Terry and her team for giving my sister and I this experience to always look back on and remember. If you're looking for something to do in Gettysburg don't miss out on this horse tour, not only will you have a great experience but you'd be supporting a fantastic team and all that they work so hard for. Thank you for having us Terry and we will definitely be back!

These people are exceptional because they have rescued the horses and they literally teach you about horses so you can be a very comfortable rider (how to read their ear cues, why they stop, how to bond with them) even if you never ridden before. The horses were all well trained and even tempered so don't worry if you are taking the kids, they will love it. The history that you see and hear is amazing and would be impossible to do by yourself in a car. They really explained what the families who lived in the farms went through as well as the soldiers, doctors, officers and battlefield horses. It really was the best way to see and learn about the Gettysburg battlegrounds. I really can't say enough good things about the experience. If you can get a spot, you're lucky!

We definitely recommend her tour whether you're interested in history, the paranormal or both!

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!!

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.

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.
