Excellent and a must for Civil War enthusiasts

William_O, Aug 2022

We had a guy called Tom, who had excellent knowledge about the Battle and indeed wider American Historical interests. Including great ideas what to do in Washington DC. He was very friendly and helpful.

Bill, Thank you for sharing your family with me and having confidence that your brother Anthony would be satisfied in touring Gettysburg with me. It's rare to have a customer from Ireland who's such a Civil War aficionado. Best wishes for save travel. - Tom

Great day out with a great guide.

Anthony_L, July 2022

Tom picked us up from our Roslyn hotel on time and through out the trip he was very informative about the battlefield at Gettysburg we had plenty of rest stops this type of tour is way better than the normal 55 people on a bus tour as said Tom was friendly, informative, and just a great person to be with he also had a lot of knowledge about Washington DC and tips of what to do we enjoyed the whole experience immensely.

Awesome experience

Awesome experience! Truly experiencing the difficulty faced by the soldiers as we experienced going to the top of Little Round Top, as well as Picket’s Charge. The Cyclorama at the Gettysburg Visitor Center and Museum. And of course, Tom’s incredible knowledge and vibrant stories of the battle!

Joan and Brian, Thank you for allowing me to share this experience with you and your som Drake. I’m glad to have met a kindred spirit with a love of history. I look forward to seeing Drake years from now behind a podium. Tom

Private Tour of Gettysburg with Tom!

Steven_P, Sept 2021

The tour was fantastic. Tom did a great job of explaining every aspect of the three day battle. He is extremely knowledgeable and a true joy to be with. I would highly recommend Tom for this all-day tour. He takes the time to explain the tactics of each general and how the Union forces were able to defeat the Confederate Army. A tour of Gettysburg has been on my bucket list for years now and it seemed like every time I was in Washington on business, I never had the time available for a tour. We were very impressed with Tom and especially his knowledge.

Great day with Tom

Lucy_D, Apr 2021

Tom took us on a day tour of Gettysburg - he was so knowledgeable and made the battle come to life for us. He made sure our trip was smooth from pick up, lunch, and even an ice cream stop for our teenage boys. We learned so much and it was a highlight of our visit to the DC area. We liked Tom so much we booked him for a trip the following day to Arlington National Cemetery (so glad we did!)

Response from Host, Apr 2021

Wendy, I'm so glad we were able to connect for two straight days of experiences. You're raising two boys who have a great love of history and it shows. Well wishes for your return to Washington State and the new home build in Montana!
