A+++ job! - Totally awesome tour! A lot of fun, and I never would have known most of these stories. Almost "secret" history or forgotten lore, but they all really happened!

EMF are a must! - I had no idea we had such a haunted history! Our tour guide made it so fun to learn about and interacting with the other guests and our EMF detectors was awesome!

Do it! - There is so much haunted history here that I didn't have any idea about! My friend and I had a great time, and we're already looking into another tour with this company for our next road trip. We had a blast!

Would recommend!! - It was a fun and accessible walk with some great stories!!! It’s more part interesting/morbid history and part ghost - but we got to see some great buildings and we had a blast. Michael our guide was kind, patient, and knowledgeable :). Would recommend!!
You walk about a mile, our group of varying “in shape” status had no issues.

Cold in the city - Although it was interesting, nothing was said about this being a "walking tour." And at the end we were at least 10 blocks from our car (per the website the tour ended where it began, on Temple street).

Not a ghost tour - While our guide, Michael was very knowledgeable and kind, the tour itself was lacking in content. A LOT of walking for very little sights/information. Phone number provided on (844)757-5657 was not accurate as no one answered the multiple times I tried to confirm. Also, drop off was not the same as meeting place. 1 plus mile discrepancy. When we arrived, no one was there to greet us. We had thought this was a scam until the guide arrived. I understand this is a newer business but with so many details being left out and inaccurate information, it is tough to give this more than a couple of stars.

Okay tour - We love going on ghost tours when visiting new cities. The tour started at the Alhambra building and started off well, but honestly, we left the tour pretty disappointed. Our tour guide Megan was very sweet and approachable but she appeared nervous and relied on her notes quite a bit. We felt like we weren't really told any stories or history about each site we visited. The sites were great and super creepy, but without the stories to go along with them, it just felt kind of m'eh. We along with other guests also felt pressured to give tips at the end. I think with some more training and practice, the tour will be better in the future.

Waste of Money - This was a complete waste of money! You walk a couple miles to talk about just 3 buildings. Lots of down time, quiet time while walking. You do not end where you start. That’s not accurate and either is the phone number listed. Don’t sign up for this tour!

No show - They didn’t show up and there was no help in getting a refund. They said to call another company for refund but offered no number.
