Our tour was with Linda. She was very knowledgeable on the history of Gettysburg. She shared many stories and pictures on her phone. We added four more stops to our tour so the total tour was about 1 1/2. Nice walking tour for the price. Do it. 😃

My husband I were quite disappointed in this tour. Our guide gave us information that was incorrect and should take time to research more thoroughly. The tour overall was unprofessional.

We had a blast!

Kari_G, Aug 2025
What a fun experience for Gettysburg. We take 'haunted' tours in all towns we visit, and this one was over the top. The level of history that took place here made this tour very interesting. We did not experience any activity ourselves, but our tour guide had plenty of stories and pictures for us to view. I have a bad knee and the humidity kills me, but I was able to do all of the walking without issue. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. We would recommend this tour for sure!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you had such a fun and memorable experience in Gettysburg. The incredible history here really does make the ghost tour something special, and it's great to hear your guide's knowledge, stories, and photos helped bring it all to life - even without personal experiences. We're also happy to hear the walking was comfortable for you, despite the humidity and your knee - that's always important. Your kind words about your guide being both knowledgeable and enjoyable mean so much, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We'd love to welcome you back for another tour the next time you're in town!

Our guide, Aurora, was very knowledgeable and thorough. The tour touched on the impact of the war on the civilians living in Gettysburg.

Great historical place

Heman_D, Jun 2025
It was a good experience and great people, learned a lot about the history of the area but just wasn’t what i expected. I thought we were gonna be able to go inside the houses and experience the hauntings for ourselves but it was just from the outside thats all. other then that it was a great lively area with so many historical things around.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you had a good experience, enjoyed the lively atmosphere, and learned more about the area's rich history. We understand your expectations and appreciate your feedback about wanting to go inside the buildings.

We're grateful you joined us and hope to welcome you back for another tour!
