Our popular “History and Haunts Tour” is family friendly and includes tales of historic and ongoing spectral activity as well as the forgotten history of this “No Mans Land” between the battle lines where civilians quivered in basements while bullets whizzed through their homes for days.

History and Haunts walking tour - This was a very pleasant walking tour. The length of the tour was just right and the distance for walking was minimal and at a slower pace. (I recently had foot surgery and was a bit apprehensive of whether this would be too much walking. But, it was a perfect fit.) Our guide, Dillon, did a very nice job with the telling of stories and history. He was very professional and friendly. This particular tour concentrated on historical facts and, even though there were ghost tales, it wasn’t over-powering with scary stories or things dealing with a spiritual realm. This would be a perfect venture for families with younger children or anyone who wants to hear some of the local folklore that doesn’t usually get shared during the typical Gettysburg guided tours. Thanks to Dillon for making the evening relaxing and fun.

Family friendly, spooky education - This was a nice mix of local history, spookiness and a sprinkle of comedy. I enjoyed how our guide drew on her years of experience working in Gettysburg and took us to several local buildings and showed ghostly photos that were not so scary that children couldn't see it. This is a family friendly tour and our hostess did an excellent job in being attentive to both adult and children participants as well as looking out for guests' safety (i.e. warning them about a uneven sidewalk - not so obvious at night). Tour was about an hour and I would take one again.

Ghost Walk, Gettysburg - Dillon was an excellent guide imparting knowledge that is not readily known. He was personable and professional with both the adults and children.

A good time - We had so much fun doing this tour, our guide was a very nice fella with a lot of knowledge and shared some great stories that went deeper than just the battle of Gettysburg. Definitely would recommend to any friends and we hope to return and do the investigative haunt next time.

It is a ghost tour that... - It is a ghost tour that the kids in the group enjoyed more than I did. Would have liked visiting the inside of supposed haunted areas, inside of walking around them.

Could have been better - not great - The tour was not so great. The tour guide was a very good storyteller and engaging but for the first 30 min, we didn’t move more than 25 feet from the starting location. In the next 30 min, we were still on the same block, just the opposite corner.
It would have been nice to see some more historic locations and haunted places. The stories were nice but not sure about the history.
We were told some things that we couldn’t verify and one that was simply not true. That the ghost of father of Jennie Wade is seen as a ghost in a uniform because he was in the war of 1812. He wasn’t born until 1814…
Overall, great guide. The tour experience left a lot for what was expected and seeing more of Gettysburg.
