The tour was a great mix of history, stories, and spooky. It was a beautiful night, and we had a great time walking around town as the sun set.

Our walking tour with Ken Rich was excellent!

We stood on the streets and in front of homes as he described how the battles wound around and through their lives. We saw homes that became hospitals and barracks. And heard fascinating stories about heroes that weren't just on the battlefield. Ken's interesting whether he's telling a light anecdote or a dramatic story. Yes, tour the battlefield but definitely include a tour of the town with Ken. It will make your visit to Gettysburg more complete! Linda & Richard

Staff were fun, easy to engage and made all participants feel welcomed and comfortable no matter their riding experience. As a solo party they made me feel welcomed and included. The horses were wonderfully well behaved. The tour guide was knowledgeable and easy to engage. The tour guide informed us that this is a female owned business and is highly ethical. They have many horses so they never have to use the same ones each day. Would definitely recommend and will be returning I'm sure!

You get a two hour horseback ride through some trails following where the Confederate Army marched…read moreup into Seminary Ridge up to where the main battle occurred. The pros: The staff is awesome. They get 6 stars. They did a great job explaining safety and how to handle the horse. This is extremely helpful for those with no riding experience. They provide helmets and a radio receiver with an earbud to listen to some canned recording explaining some background of personnel, battles, and music.You get to ride right next to some historic buildings and farmhouses that you wouldn't be able to on a road or bus tour. The cons: Unless you get a certified guide, they are not allowed to narrate the history of the battle as you ride along the trail. We did not have a guide along with our group for the ride so it was fairly quiet most of the ride. Unless you are very well versed with the locations of the army units and battle locations, the ride might be a bit confusing. If you can tie this into the end of a visit to Gettysburg with the museum, film, bus or car tour, then it will be a blast.

If you only take one guided tour at Gettysburg- do this one!! It was AMAZING - an experience I'll…read morenever forget!! These guides are highly trained and specialized and insanely knowledgeable- we had excellent discussion and so much in depth learning about the battlefield as we trotted along. The carriage is Victorian style and very comfortable- and ours was pulled by two gorgeous Percheron mares, Kate and Trina - sisters!! They were so beautiful and so sweet! Sarah and Bogey (sp??) were our our drivers and they were so great to the horses and very skilled at handling anything that came up. Our guide was Chris and he was just incredible- I'd be shocked if there was anything he didn't know about Gettysburg lol!! Even his ancestors were part of the battle! Not only did he provide tons of info about the ins and outs of the battle, but he also dropped fun little pearls of trivia along the way - things like how the shapes of certain monument bases have different meanings and how the "avenues" were put in for tourists lol!! The guides have to pass a rigorous learning/testing regime to even be able to do the tours so you know they know their stuff! The tour is totally fun - but also treated with the utmost respect for the gravity of the subject - so many lives lost - such a tragic and heavy piece of history. I strongly urge anyone to take a guided tour on your visit - interacting with such knowledgeable guides really helps get a better understanding of the battle and the core issues etc. The tour starts in town at the Gettysburg Heritage Center - very easy to find and plenty of parking. They pick you up in the carriage right out front and off you go! The tour lasts around 2 hours and they let you interact with the horses afterwards if you want! Can't recommend it enough!!

The carriage company pricing was fair, the carriage itself was beautiful, and the two ladies driving were very kind. Would definitely recommend!

I found it strange and a little annoyed the she had to share her thoughts on who she thought the worst president is US history was. Huh?

Pros: * The guide was a decent story teller…read more * The covered bridge provided feelings of paranormal activity. The history of the covered bridge is very interesting. Cons: * Overly priced, particularly in comparison to similar tours. * The tour was supposed to start at 8:30pm. My group was all present prior to 8:30pm. We finally left the parking lot for our first destination at 8:47pm. * Only three locations are offered, all of which are available to the public already. * One of the locations that the tour guide boasted about being exclusive to their company was literally a public dog park. * The lack of passion and engagement displayed by the guide and co-guide was disappointing. * Despite starting nearly twenty minutes late, we also ended twenty minutes early. Not a single participant stayed until 11:30. I believe this was because our tour ended at the dog park. Although they indicate there are 52(ish) acres to investigate, all that is truly accessible is the path that goes around the dog park. The guide doesn't even guide you. They simply set up their "base camp" at one of the picnic shelters. During the entire walk around the park path, you could even hear the guide and co-guide conversing. * When listening to the spirit box with headphones, the guide claimed they're noise canceling. I listened to the spirit box with them and could hear people up to three feet away. Ironically when the co-guide was receiving answers from the spirit box after the main guide would ask questions, the two were sitting about three feet apart most of the time. Also, once I mentioned to the main guide that I could hear conversations through the headphones and that they didn't appear to be noise canceling, only the co-guide was permitted to use them from that point on. That made me very suspicious and I am NOT skeptical about the paranormal at all. All in all, I would not recommend this tour or company based on the price they charge and the overall lackluster experience. In addition the tour is advertised as "advanced," yet there is nothing truly advanced about walking along a park path with a plastic K2 meter.

If I could give this zero stars I would. I have been on numerous paranormal investigations and this…read moreby far was the worst. I was so excited to do this. My daughter and I drove from MD to Gettysburg and was highly disappointed. We were on the 8:30-11:30 tour and was supposed to arrive to the meeting spot 10 minutes early. The GPS was not very helpful and we arrived 8:25. There was no one in the parking lot. We saw a few cars and thought maybe we should follow. I called the number on my confirmation to see if I was going the right way. The person was very helpful and we met up with the group. No one greeted us and we weren't even sure we were in the right spot. We ended up asking a couple of youtubers that were more helpful than the actual group. The tour guide not once acknowledged us. She only talked to a couple of people in the group. It was a very small group and there was no reason for her not to interact with us. My daughter tried asking her a question and she ignored her. When it was time to go to the next location she didn't say anything. Next location it was the same way. My daughter asked others questions and was completely ignored. No one checked to see if we were supposed to be there so essentially I could've just shown up without even paying. I wasted my money on this very unorganized tour. They really should do better. I've seen some really good reviews and either they are all fake or they are from the people who this tour guide actually talked to. If this was free than I could see this being as unorganized as it was. Other paranormal tours I've been on were larger groups and much more organized and interesting than this. Maybe it was this tour guides off night but being a paid tour I expect way better than what we got. Highly DO NOT recommend doing anything with After Dark Investigations.

The Gettysburg Railway is new, I believe since Autumn 2025. We had our 2 young grandchildren for…read morethe weekend and thought it be an opportune time to treat them and ourselves. We registered online the day before, the price being $27 per person regardless of age. Our excursion departure was 12:30 pm and arrived at approximately 12:10. I'd advise arriving earlier because all the parking spots were taken save for the handicapped spaces, this we parked in a Gettysburg College lot. I printed out our receipt which I don't think was necessary since they already had who had purchased a ticket. Fortunately there was one 4 person seat left, 2 facing the front, and 2 facing the rear. The seats were most comfortable and everything was spotless. The children were offered a coloring book and a riny box of crayons. The announcements were amply loud, the problem being that we couod not hear our car guide making announcements, particularly because she stood in the front of rather than the center of the spacious and long car. Music played along with a prerecorded commentary for the majority of the trip. A very small portion went through the Battlefield as it traveled west for about a quarter mile and the went north up the east side of Oak Ridge with a brief view of the Peace Memorial. From there it was a peaceful ride through the Adams County countryside. We saw horses, cows, a snapping turtle, and a variety of birds. The train stopped for 5 to 10 minutes and then traveled in reverse on the same route, the entire trip taking about 90 minutes. I would recommend this for all adults although our 2 grandkids, aged 4 and 6, we're more interested in visiting the concession car which served soft pretzels with cheese, nachos, and gummy bears. Our car representative mentioned that they were considering adding ghost rides, wine tasting rides, and murder mystery rides. I enjoyed it much!
