Awesome Sighting Seeing in Gettysburg
We all enjoyed the double decker sunset bus trip around Gettysburg. Our guide was very very knowledgeable and the driver and host were funny and personable!
via Tripadvisor
Not fun or educational
I personally did not enjoy this tour; you listen to the guide via cheap ear buds, therefore very scratchy. Our guide spoke way too fast so it was very difficult to follow him. The bus seats are hard on the upper level and the guide’s helper would yell out for us to duck so you don’t get hit by low hanging trees. I really got ‘nothing’ out of this tour, our plan now is just to do a self guiding tour!
Response from the operator: We are sorry that your experience on the Double Decker was not what you expected. Sometimes there is a problem with the sound system, but our mainetnce people will take a look at it and see if that can be fixed. The guides talk at a pace to keep up with the speed of the bus, which is regulated by the driver so sometime talking a little fast happens. As for the host/hostess informing people about tree branch , that is part of our protocol so no passenger gets injured during the tour. I hope you will return and give us a second change at making the tour more enjoyable for you.

Sunset on the battlefield
We loaded after our name was checked off the list. There was plenty of room for us on top. The narration was done beautifully. It was direct from the driver using Airbuds they gave us not recorded. Bring cash to tip the tour guide/driver/narrator.
Response from the operator: We are so glad that you enjoyed your time on our Battlefield tour. Hope to see you in the future.

Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gettysburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gettysburg is not rushed.
Is Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gettysburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gettysburg and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gettysburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gettysburg?
+
Gettysburg is a guide town: licensed battlefield guides in your own car, bus and horseback battlefield tours, ghost lantern walks and museum entries covering the three-day battle. On Outty we rank every Gettysburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour, Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg, 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour with a National Park Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gettysburg?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gettysburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Sunset Double Decker Bus Tour in Gettysburg?
+
Included: Driver/guide; and Transport by coach. Not included: Food and drinks; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
