Navigate the Battlefield with an expert! The Gold Standard for touring the battlefield is a private tour with a Licensed Battlefield Guide. Since 1915, less than 1,000 individuals have met the standards and testing to be recognized as a Licensed guide at Gettysburg. Their depth of knowledge is unmatched, plus their ability to customize a tour and answer your specific question about the battle, make Licensed Battlefield Guides a winning choice.
Navigates the Battlefield on a horse and you walk like John Wayne the next day.The 2-hour Horse rides provide an elevated perspective of the Battlefield, different than a car. You gain appreciation for the Battlefield’s topography, especially the ground traversed during Pickett’s Charge. The rides are often narrated by a Licensed Battlefield Guide.
Use your 200+ horsepower of your car to Navigate the battlefield with the help of your iPhone and an app. The Licensed Battlefield Guide is replaced by the sonorous voice of Stephen Lang, who played George Pickett in “Gettysburg” and a well-written, well-researched script which combines battle details with personal soldier stories. You can buy just the app for download or combine it with a 72-page guide with maps. It follows the same 16-stop auto tour originally created by the National Park Services, but with GPS, sound effects and QR codes which launch a PBS documentary of the same name.
No Navigation here and no hitch in your get-a-long here. You sit comfortably while the horse pulls a 10-seat Victorian carriage through the Battlefield. Again, those hard-working Guides narrate.
Navigating the Battlefield with elevation is best done on the upper deck of a Double Decker bus. Enjoy looking down on other tourists – just make sure you duck when driving under signal lights. With only a few stops, the bus covers more areas than even the 16-stop auto tour. Most bus tours come with Licensed Battlefield Guides.

Channel your inner Boy Scout and hike the trails of the Gettysburg National Military Park. With nifty, kid-friendly names like the 10-mile Billy Yank Trail and the 4.5-mile Johnny Reb Trail, the Boy Scouts earn badges for the walks.
