We offer a special tour designed for kids that is both fun and educational.

It's a complete tour of the battlefield that is filled with exciting true stories about the battle and many of the men who lived through it (and some who didn't). We also include an extra stop with some special activities that help kids understand the "The Life of the Civil War Soldier".

This is a great American history tour for kids and adults alike.

If you are coming to Gettysburg with your children or grandchildren or your nieces or nephews, this tour is positively the one you want them to take.

Gettysburg's Greatest Stories Tour

If we weren't so politically correct, we'd say that women absolutely love this tour (it focuses on human interest stories rather than military tactics). But we are just so PC that we won't say that. We'll just say that everybody absolutely loves this tour.

Come along on one of our classic Yellowstone Park buses for an hour-long ride through the streets of Old Town Gettysburg. You'll hear fascinating true stories about some of the extraordinary people who lived here during the great battle (and at other times).

The Town of Gettysburg (population 7,500) sits right smack in the middle of the Battlefield and there was tremendous fighting right through the streets of the town on the first day of the battle. The Confederates had the upper hand that day and the town fell under Rebel occupation.

History buffs will note that this was the last time an American city or town has been occupied by an invading army.

This tour is an absolute "must" for those of you (women and men) who have been to Gettysburg several times and are convinced that you know "everything there is" about the Battle of Gettysburg (it's usually men who think that).

If that sounds like a challenge to all you Civil War Nuts, you're right.

The Winery Bus

Come along for a splendid afternoon of fine wine and glorious scenery on our ride to two wineries nestled in the foothills of the South Mountains near Gettysburg.

Located just a few minutes west of town, these fabulous wineries offer unique tastes and superb hospitality.

For this tour, you'll ride in one of our modern motor coaches.

Sidetrip Tours to Harpers Ferry & Antietam

Only 50 miles southwest of Gettysburg at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, Harpers Ferry is the site of the famous raid by John Brown in 1859 that lit the fuse leading to the American Civil War. Surrounded by the stunning elevations of Bolivar Heights, Maryland Heights and Loudoun Heights, the strategic little town changed hands eight times during the war.

We'll take you from Gettysburg to the Visitor Center at Harpers Ferry in just over an hour to begin your tour, including the building where John Brown was captured.

After touring the town, you'll be free to have lunch on your own at any of the local eateries and we'll then reboard our bus at 1:00 pm and head north for the fourteen-mile trip to Sharpsburg, Maryland and the famous Antietam Battlefield, scene of the bloodiest one-day battle in the entire Civil War (23,000 casualties).

We'll stop at the Antietam Visitor Center and then proceed on our tour through the Battlefield itself with stops at all the famous landmarks: Burnside Bridge, Bloody Lane, Dunker Church, The Cornfield......and more.

We'll then head for home and arrive back in Gettysburg at about 5:30 pm.

This tour will be in one of our modern 27-passenger air-conditioned motor coaches.

Tours are offered every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday through the summer. Call for special group tours on any other day.

Advance reservations are required.
