8.Ghost Tour: History and Haunts – Family Friendly – Best in Gettysburg

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 378 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $23

Gettysburg History and Haunts is a family-friendly after-dark ghost walk with real battle-era stories, landmark stops, and optional EMF fun.

“We 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.”
