I popped into the location (which isn't explicitly marked as to where to park or meet) extremely early in order to find out about some required paperwork that an email said I needed to complete. The employee (outrider Christine?) was not very welcoming. When I went back for my actual tour, I found that some of the staff was extremely enthusiastic which was nice to see. They all seemed to be helpful when needed. When there is such a long line of horses, it can be a bit difficult to see where the guide is referring to if you are not near her, despite her enthusiasm for the topic.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! We brought my 2 sons age 9 and 11 and they also loved it! The tour guide was friendly and welcoming. She made the tour educational with her extensive knowledge of the battle and people involved at Gettysburg. The crew that helped with the horses was also super friendly and helpful and made us feel very comfortable on the horses! Great time highly recommend!

What an amazing experience, riding horseback along the Confederate line. The Battlefield Guide made the trail come alive and the horse handlers were wonderful! I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants a different perspective of the battlefield.
