Very disingenuous to describe this as a "tour". It is a private car with driver. While the driver was a lovely guy, spoke clearly, and was happy to oblige any requests, his knowledge of Gettysburg or the Civil War in general was 0. In fact we spent more time educating him on it than vice versa. All park fees and entry fees are met by the client. We were picked up at 8am and returned to hotel at 7pm. Only then informed that the "tour" had over run time by 2 hours, and we had to pay $60 an hour extra. Will save yourself the money by hiring a car and driving yourself, ample parking at all the stops.
