Bus Tours
Your Gettysburg Experience Starts With Us!
Tour the Gettysburg Battlefield on our famous open-air double decker bus (weather permitting) or enjoy an air-conditioned coach. Both are available with a National Park Service licensed guide.
All Gettysburg bus tours run approximately two hours in length and board five minutes before scheduled time. They depart from the Gettysburg Tour Center located at 778 Baltimore Street across from the National Cemetery. There is plenty of free parking at the Tour Center for your bus tour! Here’s a link to our Bus Tour Schedule.
Tickets for tour buses may also be purchased at most of the fine Gettysburg hotels, motels, campgrounds and other accommodations. For ticket locations, see Gettysburg Ticket Outposts.
Note: Food and drinks are permitted but no glass bottles.
