My husband and I took this tour for the first time. George was such a great tour guide, knowledgeable and entertaining. This was a well worth it tour, and you get more than what you pay for. We would definitely recommend this experience and highly recommend George!

    That it is a great look back into history and our tour guide Chrissy fantastic. To absorb yourself into the history and to put yourself in the place of these women and what they went thru during this horrific time in our history truly amazing.

    Only provided half a tour

    Stephanee_S, Jul 2026
    Being in the Jenny Wade house was great but we didn’t get to do the whole second half of the itinerary, which was to be “Gettysburg - The outside portion of the tour is 45 minutes long and includes light walking in the vicinity of East Cemetery Hill which witnessed intense fighting during the battle of Gettysburg. Be sure to bring your camera, as you never know what you may capture!“ I was really looking forward to the second part as well.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hello Stephanie, I am not sure what prevented you from seeing the outside portion and apologize that you missed it. If you return to Gettysburg please contact me and I will see that you receive a complimentary tour. Thank you for your feedback.

    Great tour and ghost stories

    Very good tour! We ended up having our tour at 9pm while it was thundering and lightning outside. And we got to hold ghost EMF too

    Crystal_J, Jul 2026
    Our guide was fantastic! She was very informative and funny! She told us that she herself was a skeptic until she experienced some things on her own and during her tours. We also had an experience that we can't explain!

    Great ghost tour

    Britney_M, Jul 2026
    Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. She told stories, and even handed out EMF readers to some of us, making the experience even better.

    A great indoor ghost tour of Jennie Wade House

    Amy_T, Jun 2026
    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.

    Wade house tour

    Nora_B, Jun 2026
    Standing, walking and steps involved. Interesting. Learned more about Jennie Wade and her family. Told stories of ghosts people have seen.

    Excellent Tour

    carol_g, Jun 2026
    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.

    Excellent tour! Tour guide Anna was great! She told us lots of history about Jennie Wade and the house where Jennie was killed.

    Awesome Guides! Great vibes! Ghostly Images have the most amazing staff. Love the Jennie Wade house and story.

    Aaron_B, Apr 2026
    Anna was an amazing guide! My daughter had an absolute blast! She was very personal with ell of the guests. Made sure everyone got involved.

    Best ghost tour

    ladybrideson, Apr 2026
    So much history with this tour. Not a silly ghost tour. Rick was knowledgeable and corrected some of the stories we have heard. He took his time with us and answered questions. Most authentic ghost tour I have done.

    Amazing tour!

    Donna_S, Apr 2026
    Anna was a wealth of info and made it just scary enough. She related some amazing personal interest stories.

    Great as expected

    Jamie_R, Apr 2026
    Chrissy was very knowledgeable and fun. Met all my expectations. I wasn't sure how the tour of one house could last 1.5 hours but the time flew by.

    Krystal_H, Nov 2025
    The upstairs had the most activity and I believe I captured a picture of a ghost. So cool and would recommend this tour.

    It was a good experience. I like stopping at different locations to hear the history. I liked going to Jennie's House and going in the rooms.
