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.

Our guide was very informative and it was an enjoyable experience. He obviously enjoys what he does and sharing his knowledge.

Very disappointed in tour. There is no actual office, you meet in park and in the throng of people you try to figure if you are in right place. Then, when tour begins you find you are in a very large group. Hard to stay together in such a large group and be able to hear the stories. Have been on many other ghost tours in other cities. Gettysburg has lots of great ghost stories but this tour is just disappointing.

We are actually the only tour in Gettysburg that sets limits on the size of our tour groups. We do that to avoid the situation your described. Unfortunately, one of our affiliates over-booked the tour that night, and we're sorry about that. Please email us: [email protected] so we can make it up to you. BTW, the reason we meet in the park is that there is free parking nearby, and there are benches for people to sit on.

The group was so large it was difficult to hear. He did note he was getting over a cold but put no effort into projecting his voice. We thought this was a family-friendly ghost tour but the ghost tales were more recommendations of things to Google to learn more. While not the fault of the tour guide, the first half takes place on the main streets which are loud with cars and other tourists making it even more difficult to hear. Most of the group looked bored and many bailed before the tour was officially over. Seeing other groups out on ghost tours we were wishing we picked another one.
