An outstanding overview of the battle with some very interesting details.
We had a good time on our trip. We just wished we would have stopped a couple more times to be able to take pictures while on the battlefield part. We only stopped twice.
Great trip. We enjoyed it a lot. The bus guide gave us very complete information of the events going on at the time. Also the guide in Gettysburg, it was like being there at that time. You also get to tour a house where you learn about the civil part of the war. Very interesting. Don't miss it ! It completes perfectly the DC visit.
viator did great with the bookings the trolley rides the moonlite tour and the wonderful day to gettysburg.
This was an excellant tour. The bus was very comfortable for the long drive to and from Gettysburg. We stopped to view a large diarama of the area which helped to put the large acreage into perspective. The guide was easy to understand and very knowlegeable. Our bus driver showed the movie, "Gettysburg" while we drove to the site. We saw 1/2 of the movie going and the other 1/2 coming back to D.C. This also helped with the history lesson. At lunch time we were able to buy a fantastic home cooking buffett in the town for a very nominal fee and then went on to tour a family home that still stands after the conflict.
An excellent day trip to an historic part of the country. Helpful staff, comfortable bus and a superb tour guide. Great food at General Pickett's Buffett (not to be missed at the price and all you can eat too). Gettysburg is a charming town, crammed with history. If I was planning a return I would book through Viator.
only 5 on this tour, it was great.
Really informative tour for everyone whether they have a detailed knowledge of the American Civil War or not! Great overview using the diarama in Getysburg itself before embarking on a 2 hour tour with a great local guide through the batlefields which are now beautiful countryside. An insight into the women and children left in Gettysburg and their every day lives is also really interesting in one of the downtown museums afterwards with some time for souvenir shopping before heading back to DC. Highly recommended!
We stayed in DC for a week and this was definitely one of my favorite trips. Great info, great bus trip. Can't really complain. The tour guide on the bus and the ranger in Gettysburg provided great information and were well spoken. I would have liked to have had more time in Gettysburg so we may need to go back there as a separate trip altogether.
It was great from beginning to end. The driver was very good and the on-board tour guide at Gettysburg was outstanding. We'd do it again.
The trip was great. Both the driver and the tour guide was outstanding. I will certainly schedule future trips with Viator.
We are two austrlaians travelling in america and had no car in washington dc and wanted to visit gettysburg battlefields.We booked the viator bus trip online in australia and when we turned up on the day the whole book in process was very smooth. A bus in very good condition arrived at the union station pickup with a very good lady driver who had great a knowledge of the washington dc area and the gettysburg area from previous visits.on arrival in gettysburg we took on a very good local guide who explained gettysburg battlefields in great detail. You could tell from his commentry that he loved the gettysburg battlefields. So to sum up we had a great gettysburg experience and could recommend this trip to any visitor
Excellent
Excellent day out
Wonderful day trip, well worth the money I spent. My favorite part was the visit through the Shriver house. They really did a wonderful job of recreating the Shriver's story and I enjoyed every minute!
