Good entertainment, and some local history. - The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. She took her time and answered questions as they came up.
Several of her stories had ties to other stories she would later tell -- which made it even more interesting.

Fun for the whole family - Last night, we went on the Haunted Manteo Ghost Tour, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide was an amazing storyteller, bringing to life tales of hauntings and mysterious occurrences as we strolled through Manteo’s historic streets.
We visited places like the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse and the Old Courthouse, each with its own spine-tingling legends. The mix of eerie stories and fascinating history made the tour both spooky and educational. It wasn’t just about ghosts—it was also a great way to learn about Manteo's rich past.
If you're looking for a unique evening adventure, we highly recommend the Haunted Manteo Ghost Tour. It’s perfect for history buffs, paranormal enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a thrilling night out. Just be prepared for a few chills along the way!

A Fun Experience - This was my first "Ghost Adventure" tour and I have to say, it was very pleasant. Our guide Vicki was very knowledgeable of the history of Roanoke and the surrounding area. You can tell she's very passionate about what she does and that makes the experience that much more enjoyable. My only suggestion would be to check the weather and dress appropriately. The entire tour (roughly a mile) is outdoors and it just happened to be pretty windy and chilly for the evening I booked.

Not worth the price - It was a lot about storytelling and less about seeing “haunted” sites. I would have done the downtown stuff first and ended in the cemetery.
