Great walking tour
Great walking tour. Did it in the evening when it was cooler

Took tour over several days
I had limited time both days in Gettysburg, so I took the first half of the tour on one day and the second half the next day. It says the tour is good for 7 days so that made it convenient for me. Good history, good way to get my steps in.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for your feedback.

Enjoyed it
Had fun, good for a long walk after dinner. Learned a lot. Had to jump through a few hoops to start the tour, I think the access process could use some work, but overall a good tour.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for your feedback.

Do the in-person totally worth it
When I tried to start the tour, it asked for a password. Was never sent a password. I’m sure it would of been great like my in person tour the night before but unfortunately I could not get it to work
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for your feedback.

Ok tour - certainly not scary or spooky
It was informative for sure but to be a self paced "ghost" tour, was a joke if you wanted something scary and creepy. It was more historical and informative........and that's OK. Just wasn't what we expected.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for your review. We will take it to heart, and try make the Gettysburg tour scarier. Feedback like this helps us so much 🙏

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $5 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 Tour (Self-Guided Audio 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 Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio Tour)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio 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 Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio Tour)?
+
Around 2 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 Gettysburg Ghost Tour (Self-Guided Audio 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.
