The Mississippi Campaign Tour was very enjoyable. Mark Bielski (tour leader), Parker Hills (Vicksburg guide) were the highlights. I would highly recommend this tour.

It could be improved by adding Fort Donaldson and dropping the antebellum house tour. People sign up for the Civil War information, and the way people lived in that era is covered better by many other alternatives people can sign up for if interested.

We were well pleased with the content and pace of this tour. Mark Bielski, Parker Hills, and others gave understandable insight and descriptions of events to tie in with the actual sights and prior readings. Natchez and New Orleans balanced the trip. Restaurant and hotel selections were great!

The inclusion of Fort Donelson and NOLA Chalmette Battlefield (we did on our own) would have been nice, but we realize there’s only so much time available.

Good show!

Doing this tour while still fighting a pandemic was undoubtedly difficult. A few details probably suffered, but the knowledge given was first rate. This side of the Civil War was not taught in school, despite being vitally important. We learned so much. A small detail (I haven’t seen a better place to post), the tour would benefit from the purchase of personal earphones/microphones like we have had in oversea trips. It was hard to hear in New Orleans and along the mural levee, which has trucks sharing the space. Still, very happy we experienced. Thanks so much.
