Don't waste your money. Just walk around town yourself. Boring and the story teller was just as boring. Even my kids didn't like it.

After reviewing the tour options on their website, we called one week in advance to book the Towne Tour and the Psychic Medium Tour. The Towne tour was mostly informative and interesting, however, our guide did tell us some information on one of the stops that was undoubtedly false. She told us that one of the buildings on the stop... More

We do apologize for the confusion on the location of the tour. Our website is under construction and that information does need updated. When making the reservations, we do mention where the tour begins, request arriving 15 minutes early and tell where tickets can be picked up. We can also never guarantee any activity on our tours. We do maintain... More

My fiance and I took a seminary tour at our motel and our tour guide Gary was very interesting. I enjoyed the history behind the hauntings. We would take this tour again.

We went on a very busy Gettysburg College parents weekend so I booked our reservations by email weeks in advance. I thought that Sleepy Hollow had the best website, and we had reservations at the Dobbins House for dinner which was perfect since the tour leaves from the restaurant. They had no reservation with our names so we were lucky... More

We at Sleepy Hollow have worked very hard for the reputation that we have, our concern has always been first and foremost the costumer. I do wish that you would have contacted me immediately that night (I am on the premises) to have addressed this situation. I apologize with deepest regrets for the behavior of this tour guide and can... More

The drama free report is: - Our guide was certainly pleasant and definitely into the paranormal. She was enthusiastic and genuine. We (a group of about 15) all liked her. - Surprising fact according to guide: No guides are given a script. All guides must do their own research and decide what to tell guests. I think she thought that... More

We hope you enjoyed your experience with us, however it is our policy to never imply that we go into any buildings. While some tour companies offer you a chance to be corralled into too small of spaces with way too many other customers, we have always advertised in most all of our literature that "we do not feel that...

I have taken two of Cindy's psychic/medium tours now. She is a truly gifted lady with a wonderful winning personality who puts you instantly at ease in your surroundings while she takes you on her spiritual tour of those three day in July 1863 when the lives of everyone in and around Gettysburg were changed forever. Forget about the other... More

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It is very kind (and refreshing) when someone takes the time to compliment rather than complain. We know that there are many individual tastes and while we try very hard to please them all, we know that we can only hope to please many! We appreciate your kind words. More

Ed the guide was not interesting. The stories were long and drawn out and barely factual. If you like walking around a motel with a monotone storyteller for ninety minutes, this is for you. Very disappointing. In addition the guide had the guts to ask for a tip at the end.

While we try very hard to make our tours entertaining for everyone, we do realize that the individualized structure of how we conduct our tours is not for everyone. Unlike many of our competitors, we do not merely give our people scripts to memorize that they then must recite back to you. Each of our guides researches his/her own stories... More

It was only 6$ so I guess I got what I paid for. My tour guide didn't seem to focus on too many Ghost stories more history or everywhere we stoped. She was loud and couldn't keep focus added a lot of extra comments that were not needed. The end of the tour was the most interesting she took us... More

While on a girls weekend in Gettysburg, I booked the pyshic medium tour with Sleepy Hollow. Our story teller was Cindy Smithson and she was awesome! She was full of historical information about actual events. With her special gift, she made us feel like we were actually able to look through a window back in time and see exactly what... More

We enjoyed this "ghost walk" immensely. Gary, the tour guide, is a great storyteller and is very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The tour lasted 90 minutes. We had a great time learning some of the history of Gettysburg and the Civil War.
