Must Do Tour at Gettysburg-Not the Battleground - Different and important perspective of the war other than the battleground. Makes the war more personal.

The nightmare the citizens had to endure - Very interesting hearing what the people that were unfortunate enough to be in the borough had to deal with. The tour met at the Hotel Gettysburg and walked to different sites, hearing the stories of the residents that dealt with the horrors unfolding on their streets. Many of these stories were from July 1st, when the Union fell back with the Confederates in pursuit. Terry was amazing, very knowledgeable, and very outgoing. Be ready for a lot of stories that few have heard about.

Great experience!! - Terry was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative and had lots of anecdotes and stories I’d never heard before. He was also great with our 11-yr old kids! They really Enjoyed when he pointed out some of the buildings that still showed damage. He also pointed out an artifact store and my son and daughter purchased some memorabilia.

Karen provided an... - Karen provided an excellent tour providing various residents' perspective of the battle of Gettysburg. Crazy to see several shells embedded in the exterior walls of a couple of homes over 160 years later.

Battle of Gettysburg - how it affected the city. - Bill was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about how the Battle of Gettysburg affected the city. This is an important perspective that is not always studied in history books. This tour is a slow walk with lots of stories.

Waste of money and time - Not worth the money. Not as advertised. Guide was knowledgeable with statistics and facts galore- some read, some memorized- but more battlefield and casualty stories than needed for a ‘civilian experience’. We learned more walking around the city streets reading placards.
