Welcome
to...
The Segway
Personal Transporter™ is the perfect way to see the Gettysburg
battlefield.
Experience
the history and enjoy the ride! Segways are environmentally-friendly
(no gas, no fumes, & almost no noise), easy to learn,
and just plain fun to ride.
The focus
is on the history of the battlefield, however. Tours visit
all of the main historical sites and are directed by a Licensed
Battlefield Guide.
Our
Tours:
| Western
(main) Battlefield - Gettysburg Segway Tour |
 |
Our
most popular tour by far!
This tour visits both ends of Pickett's Charge,
the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Little Round
Top, the Peach Orchard, Wheatfield, Devil's Den,
the High Water Mark, and more. It takes approximately
3 hours (including training) and covers about 9
miles with 4 rest stops. The cost is $70 per
person plus tax. The tour is escorted by a staff
person who plays a recorded tour by a Licensed Battlefield
Guide. A live guide is available for a small additional
fee. Click for more details
about this tour.
We
recommend the "Western" route for those
who want a very good general understanding of
the battle.

| Eastern
Battlefield - Gettysburg Segway Tour |
 |
A
shorter tour on a lesser-known part of the battlefield
(Culp's Hill, Spangler Spring, East Cemetery Hill).
The tour takes approximately 2 hours (including
training) and covers about 4 miles with a rest stop
at the Culp's Hill observation tower. The cost
is $50 per person plus tax. The tour is escorted
by a staff person who plays a recorded tour by a
Licensed Battlefield Guide. A live guide is available
for a small additional fee. Click
for more details about this tour.
We
recommend the "Eastern" route for those
who already have a good general understanding
of the main battlefield.

| Specialty
Tours |
 |
Upon
request, we may be able to customize a tour for
you in an area of the battlefield or town that is
not normally visited by our tours (e.g., Oak Hill,
East Cavalry Field, South Cavalry Field, Gettysburg
College, the town cemetery, etc.).
Specialty
tours are directed by a Licensed Battlefield Guide
or other appropriate authority. Your cost will
be quoted at the time that your reservation is
confirmed.
Specialty
tours may require the pre-approval of the National
Park Service, the Gettysburg Borough Police Department,
or other authorities, and should therefore be
booked at least 14 days in advance.
To
request a specialty tour, please call us at 717-253-7987.
