Went with our two teenage boys and we all had a blast. We really enjoyed the spirit box and flashlights. The boys said that it was the best tour of our trip. So happy we decided to do this.

The spirit box and flashlights are always a lot of fun, and we’re so glad you decided to join us. Thanks for making us part of your Gettysburg visit!

A must do!
This was such an awesome tour! My fiancée and I LOVED it. We got to communicate with ghosts through dowsing rods, flashlights, and even hear them come through on the spirit box. Definitely a MUST do. Our tour guide was absolutely hilarious and we learned such cool history.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re thrilled that you and your fiancée had such a great time. It sounds like you got some fantastic activity with the dowsing rods, flashlights, and spirit box! We’re also glad you enjoyed the history and had plenty of laughs along the way. Thanks for making us a must-do part of your Gettysburg visit!

Great reply back with rods kept seeing something in the field down from me.took phone out took 2 pictures second one had a orb lite up. Not sure if it was a bug but very odd. Had great time. Learning more of history was great too. Thank you will do again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! It sounds like you had an interesting night, especially with the activity from the rods and that unusual photo. Bug or orb, it certainly makes for a fun mystery! We’re glad you had a great time and enjoyed learning more about Gettysburg’s history as well. We’d love to have you join us again!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours 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 Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 658 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear?
+
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 Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear?
+
Around 230 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear 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.
