Hiring Licensed Battlefield Guides

Licensed guides are available at the Gettysburg National Park Service Visitor Center on a first come, first served basis. The Visitor Center is open daily 8-6 during the summer, 8-5 other times (closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day). Guides occasionally are also located at West End Guide Station on U.S. 30 from Palm Sunday Weekend through Veteran's Day Weekend.

Guides are extremely popular. During busy times of the year it is not uncommon to have all available tours gone early in the day.  If you wish to obtain guide services it is best to arrive at the Visitor Center as early in the day as possible.  The center opens its doors at 8 AM and guide services are scheduled immediately.  Generally, by 10 AM there will be a wait. By 2 PM it may be impossible to schedule a guide for later in the day as all available times are booked.  Reservations may be made for individual guided tours through the Gettysburg National Park Foundation Reservation System.  If you desire a specialized custom tour of the town or the battlefield please contact the ALBG directly.

NOTE:  Effective 10/20/2007 we have discontinued our email link temporarily due to the impact of spam - goons.  They have completely made impossible to filter legitimate requests from their garbage.  Until we reestablish a clean contact address please make your reservations through the NPS reservation system links in the "Reservations" tab on the left.


Disclaimer:  The Main Street Gettysburg program recently established a "Licensed Town Guide" program which they operate.  They appear to have confused visitors to the area who desire the services of a traditional Licensed Battlefield Guide.  Guides are available through the National Park Service Visitor Center for tours of the battlefield (including the town). Please be certain of who's services you are booking when making a reservation.
