Can't think of much more to say than that. If I am overly enthusiastic about this people just would not take it seriously. Our guide was knowledgeable, informative, grounded in supporting documentation and intuitive. She carefully balanced her storytelling to accommodate all ages. Picture taking was strongly encouraged and initially I was ...
I thought this would be neat, but I ended up disappointed. Our guide just did not seem to have the storytelling ability I'd expected. And, we were always walking BRISKLY which was a slight chore with our kids and stroller. This would probably have been okay with a different guide. There were a few interesting historical facts given, but not at all the "spooky" walk I expected!

I had an awsome experience on this tour. Our guide knew his stuff and told us stories that i would have never thought of. Ghosts of Gettysburg is an awsome way to spend a night with the family. They allow photography which allowed me to capture a ghost on my camera. I expect to come back soon! i highly recommend this to anyone....be ready to walk!

I liked this place cuzz it was scary and we went through it like how the soldiers did there. I think just that we were standing on war grounds too made it creepy. It was an experience.
Had a great time The folks giving the tour really know their "stuff"! The evening tours really set the mood! Quite a few of tour goers jumped - & scared the rest of us quite a bit. Next time I want to try the Ghost Train...
When we were at Little Round Top I had the eeriest feeling running up and down my spine-don't know if it was just me or the fact that I was in a truely historical area or was it the spirits of the men who were there but it really bugged me! This was a trip well worth taking!
I loved the tour because it provided TONS of information about the historic sites that you go through. You learn all sorts of stuff about the Civil War and Gettysburg's history. It was definatly worth the time and money because you dont get to experience this every day! Pretty much it was like you were going back in time during the time that ...

Sleepy Hollow, Yes. Ghost Train, No.

We went to Gettysburg this past summer and being Ghost Tour lovers obviously decided to take a couple of tours. Having heard that the regular Gettysburg Ghost Tours were really horrible (all they do apparently is just repeat stories from the author's books), we decided on the Sleep Hollow of Gettysburg Candlelight Ghost Tour. The gentleman we ...

Very good tours!

I took both the Haunted Gettysburg and the Sleepy Hollow Tour while visiting Gettesburg. Both tours are well worth the time and money. Each guide researches their own stories and takes you to places where they think you will be entertained. Like the guide we had said, "this isn't a terror tour."
If you are looking for ...

Not so great...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/04/06
My husband and I just love the ghost tours, but this one was just not that great. All the stories came out of their books.
Our favorit tour so far... Sleepy Hollow of Gettysburg Candlelight Ghost Tour. This is the same tour that was previously run out of the Farnsworth House. I found that out when I asked about the change in the quality of ...
