Good experience - Was easy to use and good experience. Took a little bit to catch up our location to where it started, but was able to figure it out. Stories were good

History & Unexplained Events in a Very Haunted Town - Why You Can’t Miss This Tour! - Definitely one of the best ghost tours we’ve done to date and we’ve done many. Our guide, Janet, has a unique approach from other tours - she bases all of her information in fact. Historical records. No fluff. No drama. No embellishment. She looks to debunk stories and retold tales, stripping away hearsay and worldly explanation first. She also helped us understand more about the show ‘Ghosts of Shepherdstown’ and how much of it is rooted in fact. Definitely watch it first if you can. We look forward to returning soon for a full moon tour and maybe even an All Hallows Eve tour - if we dare!

Quick, entertaining, and easy to use! - Needed something to do last minute with my nephew while my niece was at the college for a softball camp and this was great! It was too windy to walk around but this kept his attention and was very entertaining and not too long. Thanks so much!

Great value and easy to use! - Was easy to use. Had both historical and ghostly stories. Very cool! We were able to do part of the tour one day and then pick up where we left off at easily the next day.

Ghost tour 10/10 - Ghost tour was great, it rained and our tour guide Jordan made the best out of the situation. We learned a lot and had a fun time. Would recommend to anyone looking for something to do in Gettysburg.

Ghosts of Gettysburg self guided auto tour - Not many ghost stories but not bad for the price. Nice change from walking the battlefield. Good activity for a rainy day.

Give It A Go - It was a good tour that was very informative. Sometimes it did get a little hooky but all in all well worth it.

More History lesson than ghost tour - I was very excited about this tour based on the reviews, but honestly it wasn’t very good. This really wasn’t much of a ghost tour, rather more of a history lesson with little bits of ghost stories sprinkled in. Normally I would have enjoyed that personally, but the party I was with wanted more haunted stories than history. When it comes to all the 30 something points where there’s audio input, we expected a lot more stories. It seemed like about 60%-70% of them were just directions. The actual tour with stories didn’t even start until around stop 13 or so. Also, how was Sachs’ Bridge not a part of this tour?! Considering how active the hauntings are supposed to be there, I was shocked it was not included! Lastly, the tour specifically says to drive 25 mph throughout the drive. Mainly because if you got to the next location too fast, it would cut off the last story and begin with the next one. So we assumed that there would be stories playing for the majority of the drive, being timed out appropriately for very little down time. We were very disappointed to find out that was not the case at all. So in conclusion, if you want a real ghost tour, look elsewhere. If you want a basic history lesson with some mild spookiness to it, then this could be up your alley.

Not worth the money! - First of all I want to say that we have been to Gettysburg MANY times. This audio tour was a ghosts of Gettysburg tour and we didn’t feel we got much of that. The main thing we didn’t like was that we felt that it was very difficult to get to the start of the tour because there were TWO different Gettysburg Heritage Centers. Of course we went to the wrong one at first. I don’t think I’d do this audio tour again. I think you could find much better info about ghost sightings, etc online or on YouTube.
