A bit of walking but definitely worth it to hear the “spooky” but captivating history behind Gettysburg. Major Finn did awesome explaining the events that occurred in that town and made the trip super fun.

Wonderful experience! So much more than a ghost tour with historical facts interspersed! Ally was our guide. She was full of enthusiasm and a lot of fun!! Much information about the civilians of Gettysburg and their experiences during the battle.

A Must Do

Jamie_D, Mar 2026

Even through the mist and fog, which we thought practically added to the experience, it was thoroughly enjoyable. Amy was a wonderful and interesting tour guide. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the paranormal made her stories come to life. We would recommend not missing this tour on you trip to Gettysburg. It also seems like this tour company (Ghost Tours) is the one to use for their other tours as well.

Definitely doing it again.

Lisa_C, Feb 2026

Our Tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable and very friendly. It was so cold too and still didn’t skip anything. I would definitely go again just when it’s warmer. My Daugher caught a few orbs on video too!

Great tour

Thomas_M, Nov 2025

Best ghost tour I have ever been on and I have been on many in Gettysburg and elsewhere. Allie was fantastic. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and you could tell that she really loved what she was doing. Very informative and nicely blended history with ghostly tales. My 8 year old daughter also enjoyed it and didn’t find it too scary. I would highly recommend this tour.

Must do!

Jacqueline_F, Nov 2025

Don’t waste the time or money on this tour! Very poor tour guide, who needs to work on her word track, history & presentation. I’d like my money back.
