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.

Lots of "telling" vs showing. Just walked up the street, stories more about general hauntings vs civil war tails. Overall disappointed, would not do again. Guide was knowledgeable but tried to be funny, think would have been more enjoyable if guide was more serious and less cocky with stories and set a "spooky" tone. Was more cheesy and know-it-all. Really couldn't wait for guide to stop talking. Stinks as was perfect night with thunder to have an awesome spooky experience.

My husband and I took this history and ghost tour and we thought it was fabulous. The guide was extremely knowledgeable in the history of the battle and each building that has some historical significance. Plenty of free parking next to the meeting area and it was very easy to find. The guide was entertaining as well as educational. This was the best Gettysburg ghost tour we have done so far. We have completed three.

Our family had a fantastic evening and learned so much. Mark (Guide/Owner) greeted us in period costume, and we walked around captivated for the next hour and a half. He is the real deal, having done a deep historical dive into every story presented. My son had such a great time that we joined the ghost hunt tour that followed the Haunts and History tour. He will be talking about this for a long time. Genuinely so much fun that we would consider going again!

Thank you for the kind words, Jennifer. Mark is without a doubt the best ghost tour guide in Gettysburg.
