Ghost tour with Quinn

It was ok
I very much enjoyed our tour guides photos that showed us paranormal things but I would have liked a bit more storytelling about what happened where at each place. She talked very fast.

I need a refund for cancellation!!
My booking was moved up and hour with very little warning and when I responded that I could make it in a timely response they had already sold my spot. Incredibly disappointed and would live to be refunded!

Great choice of tours
We had a great tour with Quinn. She was knowledgeable and entertaining. Our teens were meh on the whole trip idea until the ghost tour. There are lots of tours to pick in Gettysburg but we were so glad we did this one!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gettysburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gettysburg is not rushed.
Is Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 1,105 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour?
+
Around 387 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gettysburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gettysburg and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Civil War Ghosts: Echoes of the Fallen Gettysburg Ghost Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gettysburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gettysburg?
+
Gettysburg is a guide town: licensed battlefield guides in your own car, bus and horseback battlefield tours, ghost lantern walks and museum entries covering the three-day battle. On Outty we rank every Gettysburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour with a National Park Guide, Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg, Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gettysburg?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gettysburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
