Disappointed
Very disappointing. We booked this tour based on the description on the Tripadvisor website. It was suppose to be a 2 part tour, based on the website. Part 1 was suppose to be the Jennie Wade House and part 2 was suppose to be in the vicinity of East Cemetery Hill. We never made it to part 2, the outside portion. We spent the whole time in Jennie's House with a very large group, which made the house very uncomfortable and stuffy. The guide spent 1/2 hour talking about how you shouldn't put your finger in the hole of the door if you were under 21. The guide would also ignore or brush off any adult that asked a question or made a comment. My family are firm believers in ghosts, spirits and paranormal activity. This was my 3rd ghost tour in Gettysburg and this one defiantly landed in last place. I need to add that we have toured Jennie Wade's House previously and have really enjoyed the daytime tour. Again we booked based on the description that this was a 2 part tour, which included a 45 minute house and a 45 minute walking tour outside.
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your tour. Our guides strive to give our guests an outstanding experience. In the event that there are 2 groups and 2 guides on this tour, you will walk to the wall at East Cemetery Hill and hear stories of the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the National Park Service does not allow us to take you on to the battlefield. The only exception is incelmate weather. If there is one guide, they normally stay inside the house the entire time as this is where most of the paranormal activity takes place, and there is a great deal of history to be told. Please contace me directly if you are in Gettysburg and would like to take a complimentart tour that we offer. Again, please accept our apology for your disappointment.

Great history tour
We had an amazing experience on the Spirits of Jennie Wade Tour. It was fascinating to learn about Jennie Wade, her life, and the tragic events that took place during the Battle of Gettysburg. Being able to walk through the home where this heartbreaking event happened made the history feel incredibly real. This tour was different from a traditional ghost hunt—there was no paranormal equipment used or allowed. Instead, it was much more of a history lesson combined with ghost stories and accounts of experiences others have had in the home. We really enjoyed that approach because it gave us the opportunity to learn the history while also hearing about the property’s paranormal reputation. Our guide, Rachel, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history. She did a wonderful job telling Jennie’s story and bringing the events of that time to life. It was a moving, educational, and unforgettable experience. If you’re visiting Gettysburg and want to learn more about Jennie Wade and the history surrounding her home, we highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.
How much does Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg cost?
+
Prices start at $18 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 Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg 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 Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 369 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 Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg?
+
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 Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg 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 Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg?
+
Around 129 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 Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg 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, Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour, Spirits Speak Orphanage. 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.
