Educational visit to Gettysburg

To be honest, I thought I had been scammed for a while, as I was frustrated trying to reach the tour (phone numbers seemed to not answer, drop my call, or ger to the phone system of some kind of medical office. Also, the pickup location was on the street in DC. with no idea who or what to look for. Was relieved to finally meet our driver and small group of fellow tourists. Driver was great, courteous, helpful and narrated along the drive Museum and programs were great. Highlight was Roy, our tour guide (the "Senior guide") who expertly taught us and guided us through the 3 days of tge battle sites. I am very interested in the subject, but still learned a great deal. Roy was even friendly and engaging with my 11 1/2 year old son,who learned more than he expected, I think. I would recommend, but wish the tour company communicated a little more effectively.
