What are people saying about Gettysburg

Michael_C, Sep 2026

Great Battlefield Tour!

This is a very well planned out trip around the Gettysburg battlefield. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we stopped at some of the biggest battle sites and were able to get out to take pictures while we listened to our guide’s description of what happened.

Carrie needs a venmo lanyard!

Really great. Carrie was very kind and informative. Explained her equipment very well. Doesnt lead you on, let's you come to your own conclusion first. Help her out and return all equipment to her at the end of each destination. Places you will go are very dark, be prepared for that.

Perfect option for those who are car-bound, or during inclement weather!

It’s a little difficult to get the tour started, had to request 5 passwords via email before one would actually start the tour in the app. Once you do get it going, it’s easy peasy and well worth that extra 5 minutes. I’ve used this 6 times now as we host family in Gettysburg and they have all loved the ease and ability to go at their own pace.

A different side of history

This was a great tour! He was very well versed in the history but also had a great sense of humor. He was able to keep the tour on track while also keeping it at a pace my husband, who has mild heart issues, felt comfortable with. The only thing that I was confused about was that in the description it says the tour ends at 401 Baltimore St. which was near our hotel. We were surprised when they began heading back to the starting point. Maybe the listing can be updated.

Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear

Laura_W, Jul 2026

Not your typical Ghost Tour!

For those of you who like actual ghost hunting, this is the tour for you! There is some history and stories but the main attraction is the spirits themselves! Marc is a very knowledgable and engaging tour guide, who encourages questions, of all kinds! Be prepared to walk in the dark. Bring a flashlight if you are even a little bit afraid of the dark. Various types of ghost hunting equipment are provided, and you WILL experience activity. I do not recommend this for children under 15. Skeptics are welcome, but please be respectful. Smaller groups are more fun and Marc will stay out as late as there is activity so be prepared!

Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg

Amy_T, Jun 2026

A great indoor ghost tour of Jennie Wade House

I do many ghost tours in many towns. Gettysburg is my hometown and this is my 3rd or 4th one locally. We took our exchange student. This is the first of any tour that I’ve been on that has gone INSIDE a property and covered the history of the house. Most of the tours I’ve done focused on a bunch of homes outdoors. Jennie Wade was the only civilian killed during the battle of Gettysburg. This occurred while she was baking bread for her mother, nephews, some soldiers, and her sister who was bedridden after child birth. A sniper’s stray bullet was shot into the house and they even have the original floor board on display, possibly marked with her blood. Our tour guide Maria was knowledgeable and our group was filled beyond capacity. I’ve done the Jennie Wade tour during the day, and there was some overlap obviously, but it was still enjoyable. Maria pointed out some movement of the curtains and other items that were clearly not anywhere near an air vent. Ghosts and spirits, maybe? My daughter asked about the cards on the table and Maria said they sometimes move as well. If you’re into the spooky aspect, this is a fun tour! I enjoy when the guide dresses in period correct clothing, as it sets the tone for the tour. Some of the guides here do this, but Maria did not. Still it was enjoyable. I recommend this tour! It was an in-depth tour covering Jennie Wade’s perspective of the battle as opposed to a broad tour touching lightly upon history of many homes/ sites in Gettysburg.

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.!!!!

The sobering truth of war

It was awesome, very sobering and brought to light the true horrors of war affecting everyone (and everything) for miles around. Our guide Doug was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, we highly recommend him. His presentation was a nice compliment to the tour of the battlefield we took the day before.

Gettysburg ghost walk.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us about different houses and buildings than other tour guides. My grandkids enjoyed it very much. My 15 year old granddaughter mentioned she would like to do a tour with EMF meters sometime. He got one for her to use during our tour. Awesome!
