Memorable Memorial Day weekend tour - My family and I really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide, Major Finn, was excellent and memorable. He was highly entertaining and informative. We especially appreciated his booming voice as we did not miss anything he said despite the busy, noisy streets of Memorial Day weekend. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour with Mercedes! - We had a canceled soccer tournament over Memorial Day wknd but still decided to take the trip. I scheduled this tour on a whim and it was wonderful. Very affordable, very informational and fun!! I have 4 kids under 11 and it was their favorite part of the trip! Shout out to MERCEDES, our guide!! She was awesome! She was funny, full on information and had such cool sights to show us. She has been a resident in Gettysburg since childhood and had personal experiences of ghost/paranormal events and it was really cool to hear about it all. The weather was perfect and it was totally doable with kids and not scary for them. I loved getting to learn about the civilian side of the war since a lot of what we had spent already was based off soldiers! Thank you for a great time!

Soooky History - My husband , collage age son, and I took the Echos of War Tour .While it was not what we expected it was excellent! Ted was very personable and a good story teller! If you want to look for ghosts this is not the tour. However, if you want spooky stories from the local residents point of view this is for you! The stories about people and buildings were incredibly interesting and not something you would find in a typical historical accounting. It rained pretty heavily the entire time but it didn’t dampen our groups or tour guides spirits we had a memorable time in spite of it.

6 pm ghost tour not as important - go to 8 pm - It felt like the agency did not care to ensure the 6pm tour was very animated. It was a good tour and the guide seemed knowledgeable and was very lovely, but would love the guide in costume.

Underwhelming - Came to Gettysburg specifically to take a ghost tour, but was incredibly underwhelmed by this one. Our tour guide seemed to forget that she was supposed to be telling ghost stories and would add in a quick oh I forgot to tell you, there are ghosts here, at the end of a brief talk about the history of a building. She was not loud enough to hear over the busy streets and kept saying she wished we could stop here or there but another group had gotten there first. Noone in our group looked like they were having a great time, and I heard several complaints. With that said, the tour guide was very nice.
