We had a great time with our guide Vince. The tour was late at night so it was dark and there were some little kids in our tour. Vince was great at making them comfortable with his special ghost away stickers.

Jared was an excellent guide! He did a great job setting up each spooky story, explaining relevant history, giving people time for photos, and cracking some jokes. One of the locations was extremely creepy, with multiple generations of people experiencing disturbing events and meeting horrific ends. Next time, we will likely do one of the adult only tours for more gruesome stories.

Hello John, thank you for your fantastic review! Joan strikes again! We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour with Jared, he has a real talent for mixing history, humor, and a good dose of spooky storytelling. That location definitely gives most guests the chills. We’d love to have you join us again for one of our adults-only tours next time—those dive even deeper into the darker, more chilling tales of the city.

The tour started on time and lasted one hour, as stated. The guide's lantern battery died even before the tour started, which wasn't a deal breaker, but would have been a nice touch to the tour. The tour guided ended each stop with a song, as an ode to a tour guide that he once had who ended each site with a quote. It wasn't my favorite ghost tour for the following reasons: The stories were neither scary nor very interesting. The tour guide, Jimmy, did try his best, but the stories did not captivate me. When we stopped at the Peyton Randolph house, it was obvious that someone was inside and had lighted a lantern, which was a bit of a disappointment. In addition, when we stopped at the church, there was an event taking place that overshadowed the ghost story. Finally, there was a tour of school children that were housed on the steps of the courthouse during this portion of the tour- so needless to say the tour was distracting and interrupted by others and the stories were just so, so. Again, not my favorite ghost story tour. A bit of a disappointment.

I was little disappointed when I saw other tours going into buildings, I would have preferred entry into buildings

Our tour guide was enthusiastic and well informed. While he was guiding us, telling stories of ghostly encounters, he was enjoying the evening as much as we were. Fun time.
