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.

Our guide Dillion was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was fun to listen to and held our attention the whole time. The kids loved the ghost stories and even though it was a walking tour, it wasn't that far between stops so it was very manageable.
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.

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.
Fun and informative
