    About this experience

    Walk the very streets where soldiers took their final breaths. Where blood was shed not just on the battlefield, but between alleyways, behind homes, and right in the heart of town. As the Union retreat thundered through Gettysburg, chaos unfolded around every corner, and many of the buildings still standing today bore witness to the horror. On this spirited journey, you’ll explore some of Gettysburg’s most historic pubs and taverns - many of which played significant roles during and after the battle. Some served as field hospitals. Others as meeting spots for weary troops. And nearly all are believed to still echo with the souls of those who never left. Enjoy your favorite drink as your 5-star-rated guide shares chilling tales of haunted history, personal accounts, and local lore tied to each location. You’ll enjoy your own spirits… while hearing about theirs. Cheers... if you dare! Drinks not included in cost of tour. Must be 21+ and have a valid ID.

    2. David Wills House

      The David Wills House, located on Lincoln Square in Gettysburg, is famously where President Abraham Lincoln stayed the night before delivering the Gettysburg Address. The house served as a hub for the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg, with wounded soldiers brought through and bodies temporarily stored nearby.

    3. The Union Hotel, located just a short distance from the Gettysburg battlefield, has a long and storied past - one that seems to have left spiritual echoes behind. Originally built in the early 1800s, the hotel reportedly served as both a makeshift hospital and gathering point during and after the Battle of Gettysburg.

    4. The building here was the very heart of one of America’s bloodiest battlefields. It dates back to the 19th century, and the surrounding block saw intense fighting, death, and chaos during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.

    Don't waste your time or money

    Out of the many haunted pub crawl tours I've taken this has to be the worst ever! There were 22 participants, too many for crowded bars to accommodate. Those that were able to get a drink had no time to finish it. This was the case in all 5 bars visited. The tour guide gave a short spiel in front of each bar as to why it was supposed to be haunted then left us on our own. Fifteen minutes she would in from wherever tell us it was time to go and walk out. She did not interact with the group as we walked from place to place. Six people left the group at the second bar!

    NOT a haunted pub crawl

    Tour was very boring and lacked any haunted stories. Tour guide was very unenthusiastic and awkward. No history or stories whatsoever. Tour guides “stories” lasted 30 seconds at best. I understand that this is a pub crawl and is good for showing you different places to drink, however the haunted part was extremely lacking.

    Good times

    We had a slow start but by the end we had a lot of fun…. Timeframes could have been better explained

    Not a good tours for us.

    We have been on many tours over the years all over the country. This one hit so far below any we have been on that I can barely give it 1 star. The pubs in town are all great and we basically had hit them all over the previous two days. There were no ghost stories. We basically had a guide walking us from tavern to tavern. Other tours and ghost walks have professional and knowledge story tellers most times dressed in era matching outfits. We had a good time with our friends and enjoyed the drinks but the tour was basically lacking what we were used too and expecting.

    Gettysburg Haunted Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.

    How much does Gettysburg Haunted Pub Crawl cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Haunted Pub Crawl take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Haunted Pub Crawl worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 24 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 Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    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 Haunted Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gettysburg Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    Around 8 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gettysburg Haunted Pub Crawl 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.
