What To Expect
Gettysburg
Travel back to three horrific days in 1863 that transformed a small idyllic town into a mass graveyard. 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. Nearly every building still standing on this tour still vibrates from the AFTERMATH.

5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us about different houses and buildings than other tour guides. My grandkids enjoyed it very much. My 15 year old granddaughter mentioned she would like to do a tour with EMF meters sometime. He got one for her to use during our tour. Awesome!
Learned a lot about local lore!

5.00Wanted something with a little more history than ghoulish. Ken was fantastic! Hit the mark. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about the area and local lore. We were captivated the entire time. So wonderful to spend time with someone who loves what they do!
Very interesting

5.00This family-friendly tour was interesting and really kept my grandchildren engaged. I learned a lot and appreciated Ken’s level of knowledge. Based on Ken’s story about Sallie the dog we found the monument the next day and left Sallie a few quarters. My grandkids loved it!
Engaging and informative!

5.00Ken was fabulous! He was extremely engaging! We learned a lot, and it was a really grounding experience to hear about the battles. He catered well to the small ones in our group as ours was a family friendly experience. Definitely recommend!
Not scary, but not all that interesting

3.00We wanted more of a historical tour rather than “Ghost Busters” which this tour was. Definitely NOT scary. The guide was knowledgeable but the walking locations didn’t make much sense - we basically just walked up a side street and stopped every few feet. Also it goes longer than stated. We made dinner reservations for after and had to leave the tour early. Overall, not as interesting as we hoped.
The tour was very...
