Great time. After reading some of the older reviews, I was a little unsure about the tour. However, I am so glad, we went. The tour was great. Sandy, our tour guide, told us great battlefield ghost stories and show us some the historical building in the town. Good way to end our time here. More

As part of our Gettysburg trip, we took part in one of the many Ghost Walk tours offered by various companies. I had researched on the internet, and this seemed like one of the best. I would not select this tour again. First off, a candlelight tour should be when it's dark. 8 p.m. was too early, it wasn't close... More

Our tourguide was Ray. His enthusiasm in relating the historical happenings made his tales engrossing. If you're into ghosts, you'll get to see some good haunted locations. If you're not into ghosts, I still highly recommend the tour. You get history broken down into tales about individuals or specific areas in town. More

My wife and I recently attended the :Ghost of Gettysburg" ghost walk. We were during the week so we did the Baltimore Street tour. Our guide was Ray, he was very knowledgeable about Gettysburg and was very entertaining, our only complaint would be that the that the tour seemed more historical then ghostly. We have enjoyed Mark Nesbitts tours in... More

My husband and I went on the Baltimore Street Tour as it was the only one being offered at the time we were available while we were in town. Our guide was very friendly, easily engaging the antsy boy scout troop on our tour. The tour itself was pretty basic, stopping at four or five locations on or just off... More

This is your ghost tour. Our tour guide, Steve, was great. Other than that, this tour stunk. This sums up our tour: We met in a bar parking lot, Steve told a couple of stories. We walked to the Quality Inn parking lot, Stever told a couple of stories. We walked to the American Value Inn (motel) parking lot, Steve... More

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your guide, but sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the tour. All of the "parking lots" that you mentioned where part of the field of battle back in 1863, so it may not have seemed like it, but you were actually standing where soldiers fought. Today, the National Park Service does not... More

My husband did two ghost tours from Ghosts of Gettysburg. We really enjoyed them both! Neither one of us believe in ghosts, but it was fun to walk around Gettysburg at night, through little alleyways, with a guide dressed in Civil War costumes and carrying a lantern. Both tours we did talked a lot about history in addition to ghost... More

Expected more from this tour started off well then fell drastically short. Basically a walk around the building and parking lot. More

Not nearly as historical as I'd hoped. There was something hugely missing.Williamsburg Ghost Tour was amazing. Marha's Vineyard Ghost Tour was pretty good. This was clearly poor. My children and I left saying... That wasn't scary or even interesting. When I happened upon the Farnsworth House down the street and went inside, THAT was scary and interesting... I wish I... More

We did the Baltimore Street Tour. The ghosts stories themselves were okay, but the tour guide, an older lady named Suzanne, while very polite and grandmotherly, wasn't very enthusiastic. She told her stories in a normal tone of voice - which doesn't carry above the traffic. It seems to me that a ghost walk tour guide needs some zeal and... More

I was sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your ghost tour. Each of our guides have their own style, which doesn't always appeal to everyone on their tour. I'd like to offer you gift certificates for a future tour, but I see that you're from Minnesota, so I'm not sure you'd be able to use them? Regarding a public... More
