Highly recommend! - Joy was an awesome host and tour guide! The stories she chose were great and I walked away feeling like I knew more about the history of Yale and had fun while doing it. My 14-year old daughter and I enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommend!

Our family ghost trip - New facts that we didn’t know! The Vanderbilt connection to Yale, and finally viewing the secret society house!

Great tour! - We had a great tour guide. The stories and the locations were really interesting! Most of the tour centers around Yale and the surrounding historical areas.

Definitely recommend! - Tour was fantastic! It was a wonderful way to spend an evening to learn not just about the paranormal history of the downtown New Haven area but also general history about Yale, the theater district and the surrounding area. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Interesting fount of knowledge - Fun, interesting way to walk around the Yale neighborhood of New Haven and learn about the area's ghost stories. Our tour guide was a veritable fount of knowledge about both ghost stories and about general local lore, and he never ran out of stories. It was a pleasant way to spend an evening. Keep in mind that this is a walking tour, although most of the tour is on flat ground - if you want an experience with more sitting, then I'd suggest doing something else.

Ghost tour rocks - Our tour guide, Joy, was thorough, interesting and accommodating. We enjoyed the tour very much. The rain cut the tour short, but it was still great!

Nice - My friend and I like the historical part of that kind of tour and we got what we were looking for.
However the tour lasted 50 minutes not 90 minutes as advertised.
