ghost walk tour of the alley's
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/03/09
I went on a ghost tour of the alley's and I found it to be very interesting on the history of Gettysburg. I took many pictures and I do believe I got a picture of a ghost near a wall in the alley. I wasn't much of a believer until I went on my second tour and looked at my pictures. The 1st tour I went on was the Farnsworth House and there I saw nothing. I will continue to visit Gettysburg and take tours because it is very interesting and I like to hear more stories of the war.
 
 
 
 
 
disappointed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/10/09
we just got back from Gettysburg, I was very disappointed in the Ghost tour, The tour consisted of walking up a very busy noisy street and at the end the tour guide told us a story. then we talked all the way back down the street to a school which he told another story. Then we went to an attic and he told another story. I was totally disappointed!!!!

some good.... some not worth the money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/29/09
haunted gettysburg had a great tour.. nice people great guides we really had fun and were glad we chose the tour..unlike the gettysburg ghost or black cat tour..they were very agressive and put down other tours why would you need to this if you had a good product of your own? boy were they full of b.s. and lies ...avoid these people at all costs... they are very shady and make the town look bad

WILL NEVER SUGEST TO ANYONE!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/24/09
This past weekend my family and I went on the Ghosts of Gettysburg Baltimore Street Tour. I have to say that other than the fact that the town its self is fascinating beautifull there is no good to report on the tour. First off we paid over 40 dollars for the tour, then right before we lift wih our guide they told us that they do not pay the guides, that they work for tips.(what was the money for then). Second our guids name was Doug. well Doug is a third grade school teacher and talked to us like we were his third grade class, on top of that he stumbled through all of his stories. his story telling skills were horrendous at best. At one point we met up with another tour that was telling the same story so Doug quit talking and we had to try and hear the other guide tell the story from across the street. When Doug resumed our tour he was quite flustered and his already boring stories got even worse, if that was even possable. We picked this Tour Co. because it was said to the bast in Gettysburg, I beg to disagree. I will be going back to Gettysburg but will not take another tour from GHOSTS OF GETTYSBURG CANDLELIGHT WALKING TOURS!!!! and to Doug good luck and I believe you should stick to teaching third graders.

Civil War Hauntings- Horrible!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/25/09
This was the biggest waste of time. They were trying to promote local businesses rather than ghost hunt. We stood in parking lots and talked about haunted buildings across town. Don't waste your time.

Try Ghostly Images instead
By April, 05/18/09
Want to actually go inside a haunted building instead of just standing in front of one? Try Ghostly Images Ghost Tours instead.

Ghosts of Gettysburg - waste of time
By Gary T, 04/18/09
There may be good ghost tours in other cities and in Gettysburg buyt the Baltimore Street Ghosts of Gettyburg Tour Office wasn't one of them. It was absolutely boring, stories were dull. We heard better stories passing other groups in the street. Low light of our visit. Tour did not end where we started and were told "go walk that way for about a block or so". Try a different tour company - there are several.

Far too boring!!!
By Cmunch, 03/26/09
I signed up for the Ghosts of Gettysburg Baltimore Street tour without very high expectations. I of course didn't expect to see anything paranormal. I was simply looking for some entertaining, possibly spooky storytelling. Unfortunately, it wasn't anything remotely close. Our guide was a very nice older gentleman, dressed in a gray confederate uniform. He was likeable, but extremely uninteresting. There was no enthusiasm in his voice, and his stories were all over the place, making it very difficult to follow. I found myself zoning out at least half the time. My wife and I had had such a great experience in London on the "Jack the Ripper" tour, where the guides are truly fantastic. They are entertaining, and creepy, and very animated. This is a must do for anyone going to London. Unfortunately, our luck ran out at the Ghosts of Gettysburg. It may have been just one guide, as the rest of the staff also seemed extremely nice, but if they are all similar to what we experienced, the owners should seriously rethink who is guiding their tours. These people need to be actors, not historians. After each painful story, I simply thought to myself that after hearing it just the one time, I could have turned to the crowd and retold it 10 times better. I wish no ill will on the Ghosts of Gettysburg tours. Like I said, they are great people. However, if you want the best value for your 10 bucks, skip the tour and spend it at the Dobbin House.

Dumb
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/02/08
Waste of Time and money. Not scary. Went on my east coast trip and the trip was good but the ghost walk was retarded.

Get ready to not be scared...
By leanna, 07/28/08
I have been on a couple of ghost tours and honestly this is a good ghost tour for kids. Adult though not so much. They gave ok information but the story telling was so so and I swear they ended every story with a wooowooo boo. I am sorry but unless you are a child that is really niether scary or funny (especially after the 12th time)
