It turned out being just me and my guide Terry on our walking tour. He was very interesting to listen to as he brought history to life. I appreciated his kindness at every turn.

No other town can boast the history of Gettysburg. It's fascinating birth, its role in the battle, President Abraham Lincoln's visit to give his immortal address, a president who settled here, and so much more! Walk the streets of Gettysburg with an experienced licensed town guide. Group sizes are generally under ten for these tours. This tour complements the 1:00 p.m. tour (Danger & Courage). This tour covers the Northern End of town; the Civilian Experience covers the Southern End.

Bill Hartman, our guide, was absolutely terrific! Not only did he show us the sites but provided us with a wonderful "insider's" narrative about what we were seeing. He clearly loves Gettysburg and his work and made our trip to the town itself interesting and fun...

Fun, interesting, and extremely well researched guided tour. Brenda R. was our guide for this tour. Her photos, news clippings, and additional personal accounts from citizens of the time really bring the past to life.

This was a very informative tour. It was an easy walk, only an hour and the stories were very interesting. The things we learned on this tour were not the same stories that we had heard at the battlefield, they seemed more personal while being historically accurate and peaked the human interest.

Doug was an excellent guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He knew everything that anyone needed to know.
