Additional Information

Echoes of War stands as Gettysburg’s leading spectral adventure. We invite you to step into the very core of the town scarred and almost destroyed by the Civil War, guiding you through some of its most eerily haunted places. The specters of fallen soldiers, for whom the war still rages on, linger on the streets of Gettysburg.

We will further immerse you in the terrifying experience of the local inhabitants who witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg right outside their homes, and the struggle to rebuild their scarred city in its aftermath.

Echoes of War provides a poignant perspective of the events that unfolded during one of the bleakest periods in America’s history, offering a valuable learning experience accessible to all family members.

Very Informative and a great time. - I had a great time. Our tour guide, Major Finn, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Finn kept the tour very engaged. It was a lot of fun and it was a great history lesson of Gettysburg outside of the battlefield - John L. Burns, Thaddeus Stevens, Gettysburg Hotel, Gettysburg Presbyterian Church and a lot of captivating ghost stories. I highly recommend the tour and I would absolutely book it again.

Great ghost walk! - We have taken several different ghosts walks in the past 5 years or so and by far I liked Major the best out of all the tour guides we have had. He was engaging and funny. The hour and a half went super fast.

Was a fantastic tour and Tom was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. I’m so glad we did this, very well done. - Tom was fantastic guide and asked us what we would like to focus on the day before the tour. We are a mixed couple…. My wife from North Carolina and I’m from Mass/Connecticut. He understood that and made sure to focus on what was important.

Good story time, not an emphasis on ghosts/apparitions. - Major Finn was a good storyteller! It was not what we were expecting. 4 stars for the humor, quality of stories, and entertainment value.

No ghost but still worth it. - Didn't see any ghost but was an educational tour. Rained the night we went, just wear a hoodie and bring an umbrella!

Missed the Mark on Paranormal Experience - I was excited to attend this event, especially since it was one of the few paranormal activities we could do with kids during our visit. I'm passionate about the paranormal and hoped Gettysburg’s reputation would make this tour intriguing for us all. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. There were only a few paranormal stories, and the rest was mostly a history lesson. While history is important, there are other tours for that, so I was disappointed this one didn’t focus more on the paranormal. Overall, I was bummed that the tour didn’t deliver the paranormal experience I was hoping for.
