The food recommendations were great. Unfortunately, our guide wanted to cater to one (among 4) who was young and a bit picky about eating different foods. I didn’t really understand why we were unable to share a variety of foods without concern to one in the group.

Guide was late, wasn’t dressed as described and took a phone call during the tour. Also, wasn’t the duration that was described. Nothing really uniquely Gettysburg or even Pennsylvania. Might want to rethink this activity.
