We absolutely loved the tour! We've been to Gettysburg a couple of times and this is by far my most favorite trip to the battlefield. The Guide was so knowledgeable. He answered every and any question we had for him. The carriage was comfortable. The horses and the drivers were lovely as well!

The guide we had, Jim was excellent. He was very interesting to listen to and super knowledgeable. The whole crew was great. They actually did my wife, my sister, her husband and myself a huge favor. We got lost trying to find the departure location and we're running about 5 minutes late. After finally reaching the horse & carriage departure spot, the tour team had held up the tour by 5 minutes so we were able to join the tour. The team and all the passengers were very understanding of the situation. It's nice to know that there are still kind, thoughtful & caring people in this country. The next 2 hours after that situation, was absolutely great. I've been to Gettysburg 3 times ( 79', 88' & 23' ). Each experience has been great. The battlefield is truly hallowed ground. On behalf of my party of 4, I would like to thank the tour team at Gettysburg for their professionalism and for their patience to hold the tour back a few minutes.

My only issue was how many of the folks working in the area - at a restaurant, at the ice cream place - had NO idea where the carriage picked up riders!!! No idea!! Didn't even know the address, 1 Lefever St. and where it was...at the corner? Down the road a bit? No idea! So...perhaps a sign would help :) (Somehow I missed the info that we were supposed to wait at the covered parking meter...so a sign would have helped in that case, too :)) The ride was good, the guide (Jim??) was great, very knowledgeable, the driver and his wife friendly. Culp's Hill was a good place to visit, of course in a very sad way, considering what occurred there. All in all, very worth the fee when one thinks about the folks...and the horses!...who work every day making multiple trips, the upkeep on the carriages, etc. My sister and I appreciated the whole experience.
