What To Expect

Gettysburg

Travel back to three horrific days in 1863 that transformed a small idyllic town into a mass graveyard. Our popular “History and Haunts Tour” is family friendly and includes tales of historic and ongoing spectral activity as well as the forgotten history of this “No Mans Land” between the battle lines where civilians quivered in basements while bullets whizzed through their homes for days. Nearly every building still standing on this tour still vibrates from the AFTERMATH.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Absolutely horrible. The owner/guide seemed to care more about his knowledge and history and ghost hunting experience then the actual ghosts and more importantly history of Gettysburg. He spent most of the time telling us about the late night hunt when we just wanted a ghost tour that was interesting. The city was so loud with all of the cars and he never waited up for anyone so we missed half of the tour anyway. DO NOT RECOMMEND. NOT family friendly. Negative attitude and inappropriate.

My group consisted of a 4 kids aged 10-14, an 18 year old, myself, my husband and father in law. EVERYONE In our group really enjoyed the tour. (I think everyone on the entire tour had a great time). Our guide Cristie was awesome and very knowledgeable. It was the first tour we did upon arriving, so it was a perfect introduction to the local history.....With a spooky twist. This is not an extremely scary tour, so if you are looking for real haunts the ghost hunts are probably better for you. This was filled with spooky stories and some paranormal activity. Check out the photo my 10 year old took and decide for yourself.....even our tour guide though the image on the left looked like a person........and there was no one standing on that porch!
