A couple of years ago I, and two friends, booked a guide who drove our car around the battlefield and gave a personalized ninety minute tour. It was the best experience we have ever had at Gettysburg because he brought us to places we had never seen. Is this what your tour guides do?
Craig, our standard tour of Antietam is roughly 2 to 2 1/2 hours long. Our guides can take you around in your own car, or they can lead on on various trails or parts of the field. We offer many different tours, but to answer your question, our standard tours are quite similar to the tours given at Gettysburg.
We would like a guided tour today. Available?
Because the guides are heavily involved in programs and interpretation during the 150th anniversary, no tours are being scheduled. Tours will resume after anniversary weekend. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I am planning a visit to Antietam Battlefield on 4-27-12 and would like to schedule a guided tour . I anticipate arriving at the battlefield between 8:30 am and 9:00am. There are four (4) in our party. And our guide preference is Mike Gamble. How do we go about scheduling the tour and make the payment?
Thank you,
Gary
