One Nation Under the same God - Karen was Great as a guide! Love getting more understanding about where each army was positioned in town and their impact on the citizens. The humanitarian story about the Confederates making dinner for a Union family hiding in their basement was heart warming. ❤️‍🩹

Very nice. - Bruce is a great guide. We went on a Tuesday and it turned out that we were the only couple on the tour so we got his undivided attention. I was surprised at the HUGE amount of information and history packed into about 8-10 blocks in the heart of town. Just great.

Fantastic tour and guide worth every penny!! - Our guides name was Karen Saltzgiver, she was fantastic and so knowledgeable. My wife and I felt so lucky to have such a great guide. She answered our questions and knew so much about the history. When we come back again we will make sure to request a tour she is doing.

Seldom Seen walking tour - We took the "seldom seen" tour yesterday with Terry. This was my first visit to Gettysburg and won't be my last. The 1.5 hour tour was fun and interactive, chock full of tidbits about the town and the war. Terry was engaging and full of knowledge. We could tell he enjoyed sharing his knowledge with us. I was one of the highlights of our day trip!
