We had a brilliant tour of the battlefield with our guide Howard, who was knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining - which over the course of four hours was no small achievement! He really brought the events to life. Would highly recommend.

Our tour guide was amazing. We very much enjoyed his company, his sharing knowledge of the battle, monuments, artillery etc. This was a goal of mine, to have a pro lead me through days 1-3 and expand my knowledge of the battle. He took his time, answered our questions, allowed us to stop and take photos as often as we wished, and was not focused on the 4 hour limit. It was well worth the cost and would definitely do it again at Gettysburg and other battlefields.

We took a three-hour guided tour with Bill T. 16 May. We were completely satisfied. Bill expertly told the story of the three day battle punctuated with interesting military tactics and nuanced insightful human perspective. Would strongly recommend a guided tour.

The Introduction film and diarama gave so much information. Museum was well laid out again with lots of information. Enjoyed the 3D photos.

Really outstanding private battlefield tour with Bill. And the center itself has a tasty museum with a very well produced film that lays out the battle very clearly. I would absolutely do this in addition to the National Park Center

Gettysburg is a great place to visit. It is historic for the Civil War battle that took place there. The Gettysburg Heritage Center is a very informative museum and gift shop. There is a twenty minute movie to watch that explains the battle of Gettysburg, which helps to understand where and how everything went down. In turn, what you learn at the Gettysburg Heritage Center will help you understand the different sites and areas of significance when you visit Gettysburg.
