What are people saying about Gettysburg

carol_g, Jun 2026

Excellent Tour

I went with my adult granddaughter and 10 year old great grandson. I have a bad knee and wasn't sure if it would be too much walking for me but it was pretty easy. There is a short walk from ticket office , then steps up and down when you get into house. Ann was our tour guide and shared her family has lived in Gettysburg for generations so she had first hand stories handed down from relatives who experienced the battle and events first hand ! We had finished touring the upstairs and gathered by the door when Ann got quiet and looked up the steps and called "hello"....she looked around and said "did anyone else hear footsteps....?" Several people nodded and said yes ......I don't know if it was just floor creaking but it only happened once. We then went to the basement.Ann continued to talk about what the couple of days were like for the family as they hid down there. She also talked about some things that had happened to other tour guides not big crazy woowoo stuff just subtle things that give you pause. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not some things can't be explained. There was a definite energy as we walked through the house. The true story of Jennie Wade is sad and emotional especially with all the details Ann was able to share about not only Jennie and her whole family but the townspeople of Gettysburg at that time. Highly recommend Ann and this tour.

Take this Tour!!!

Our guide, Chris, was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She conducted the tour in period costume as Miss Rosa. She was knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and incredibly warm. She made the experience super fun, it was incredibly inclusive!!! I would absolutely recommend this. Not to mention the fact that the orphanage has a very strange vibe, which makes it all the more exciting.!!!!

This is a great tour with...

This is a great tour with a lot of information and minimal walking. You board a bus at the Gettysburg Tourist Center, and they take you to two places; Sachs covered bridge and Gettysburg College. We were able to get great pictures of orbs and activity at both locations. Our tour guide Christine was great! She was personable and knowledgeable. I learned so much about the history of the battles and about current day happenings. It's definitely a tour for people who want something more laid back than walking to the different locations. That being said, if you are more of the hands on type of tour person, you'll definitely want to look at one of their walking tours instead.
