    I felt it was...

    I felt it was overpriced.driver and guide were great...just wasn't what I was expecting. Also, I wasn't expecting to walk so much being a bus tour.

    Response from the operator: Hello Kimberly, Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you liked the guide and driver! We do note in the tour description that there are two stops and the guide always tries to keep the walking at a minimum. We know that there is a great deal to see and do in Gettysburg and that our guests are usually tired later in the evening. We do offer other tours through the Jennie Wade House and Homestead Orphanage. Please contact me during your next visit.

    The driver a nd tour...

    The driver a nd tour guide was fantastic. You had the history plus two stops where you got off and were provided time to hear additional history and time to investigate on your. Our guide is very knowledgeable. The only issue for me is I am a big woman and the seats are all made for smaller built people and with the bus being completely booked it was a little tight.

    Response from the operator: Hello Deborah, Thank you for your kind review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour and appreciate the feedback about the seating. Thank you for joining us!

    Must Experience!

    Excellent tour, excellent guide and driver. I really felt like I was experiencing the horrors of Gettysburg during the Civil War

    Would skip this one.

    We decided we wanted to book some haunted tours while we were in town. We booked the haunted bus tour and the haunted orphanage. I am not sure what we expected but it was just not worth the price. You get on a bus and get 2 stops, the covered bridge and Gettysburg college. Some of the stories are okay you only get 10 minutes at the bridge. It just wasn’t worth the money at all. I am not sure if it was just an off night but…..

    Response from the operator: Hello Shannon, We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the Haunted Bus Tour and know that your feedback is important to us. I will speak with the guide about spending more time at Sachs Bridge as there are many stories and places to explore. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Please let me know when you are back in Gettysburg and I will give you a complimentary tour of your choice.

    Gettysburg Haunted Tour by Bus: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Gettysburg Haunted Tour by Bus cost?

    +

    Prices start at $36 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 Tour by Bus 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 Haunted Tour by Bus worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 58 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 Tour by Bus?

    +

    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 Tour by Bus 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 Haunted Tour by Bus?

    +

    Around 20 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 Haunted Tour by Bus 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 Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour, Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg, 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour with a National Park Guide. 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.

    What is included in Gettysburg Haunted Tour by Bus?

    +

    Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Gettysburg Haunted Tour by Bus?

    +

    Check-in at Ghostly Images of Gettysburg located in the Gettysburg Tour Center at 778 Baltimore Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Gettysburg Haunted Tour by Bus offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
