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!

Excellent tour and commentary by the driver, would reccomend.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Would highly recommend this tour. The tour guide that joined the bus at Gettysburg was amazing. The tour was what I expected and more.

This is quite a long day trip as you leave Union Station at 8.00 am and do not get back in until at least 6.00 pm. (Worthwhile checking out the departure point before the trip as access to the bus station is not well signposted and hidden away on the upper floor.) The trip to Gettysburg is pleasant enough through some nice countryside. You get to watch one of many films made about the battle on the way there and on the way back. The visit to the Diorama is very informative. Trip around the battlefield is concise. Our guide Dale certainly knew his stuff and made our trip worthwhile. Be aware that you only get the chance to get off the coach on two occasions, the rest of the tour is very much "drive by". Do take advantage of the lunch stop at General Pickett's buffet ($8.50 all in). The tour around the Shriver House is very interesting and gives you a perspective on the battle from a town residents points of view. All in all a good value for money trip.

The visit to Gettysburg was an unforgettable experience. The bus driver was superb – she was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour guide that we met in Gettysburg was fantastic and made the battlefields come alive with his narration of the day’s events. The visit to the Shriver House museum was an interesting and unexpected bonus. All in all this is a highly recommended tour and certainly a major highlight of our visit to the USA. We would definitely do it again.

Excellent trip - have never encountered such informative guides - really new their stuff. The included trip to the restored home of George Washington Shriver is well worth seeing and really intersting. Lunch was fantastic value and a wide choice. Really excellent driver and guides. The diorama - although looking a little tired, gave an excellent perspective on the civil war.

The trip to Gettysburg from Washington DC was flawless. The two hour bus ride felt more like 30 minutes. The scenery was beautiful, and they played a Gettysburg movie to give you some background. The diarama was very interesting, and our tour guide was a walking encyclopedia. I thought I knew what the battle of Gettysburg was all about before the trip. Boy was I wrong! All of the information is presented in such a way that even if you aren't a history buff, you will understand and retain a lot of what you hear. While we spent the majority of the tour on the bus, we stopped at all of the important sites and got to take quite a few photos. Lunch at General Pickett's was delicious! Homecooking the way mama would make it. And the Schriver House Museum was a great final touch. Overall very pleased with the tour. If you're going to be in the DC area, and you have an extra day to spare, I definitely recommend this tour!

A highlight of our trip to DC. . Excellent driver and tour guide. Enjoyed our lunch at Colonel Pickets. Find out in advance where the bus departs from as it is an early start and Union Station is huge.Bus deck is up 2 escalators. turn by the shoe shine.

My husband and I read The Killer Angels and watched the movie Gettysburg the week before our trip to D.C., so it was thrilling to see the battlefield and picture what went on there. It was a rainy day, but that didn't bother us too much. The guide was excellent. Home cooking at Pickett's Buffet was deliciious. Then we went into the town of Gettysburg and toured one of the homes. It was so interesting to hear what went on in the town during this time. You usually just think the turmoil was confined to the battlefield, but you could see the actual bullet holes in the brick and a ball imbedded in the front of one house. We were very satisfied with this tour and highly recommend it.

This was a fantastic tour - a wonderful DVD on the coach and a great commentary b y the driver and guide. I learned so much about the Battle at Gettysburg. the Diorama was really good too. Cannot rate it highly enough.
