Why is a tour with a Licensed Guide the best way to visit the battlefield?

The tours are not “one-size-fits-all”. Your Guide will figure out what interests you the most, gauge your existing knowledge level, and provide a unique tour designed specifically for you.
Answers to all of your questions!
You will see countless things on the battlefield – monuments, cannons, terrain features, etc. – that will attract your attention. Your Guide will be able to tell you what you are seeing, and the stories behind what you see.
You won’t get lost!
You won’t get confused following driving instructions, missing directional signs, dealing with road closures, and otherwise wasting time. Your Guide knows exactly where to go, and will offer to drive your car, so everyone can look out the window and fully enjoy the tour.
A family-friendly tour!
Your Guide will be able to keep young people interested and happy, while simultaneously telling grown-ups the story of the battle.
You’ll know what to look at and where to look!
If you try to do the tour on your own, you may often be confused as to what you should be looking at, and which way you should look. Your Guide will point the way.
You will feel the history!
Guides are tested by the National Park Service to make sure that they can tell the stories of the battle and make the battlefield come alive for you. No mechanical or electronic device can match the skill and personal touch of a trained and certified human guide.
