Doug, our tour guide, was the BEST! Had a ton of stories of families of Gettysburg, was incredibly knowledgable about the battle, and was able to tailor to us having elementary school kids and keep it interesting for them!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We have wonderful storytellers, and Doug is among the best!
