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!

Unique knowledge of Yale - We had a very interesting walk around most of the Yale campus and learned much about unique history of campus locations and activities of the past. Unfortunately the cemetery was closed during our visit so that part of the tour had to be improvised. Otherwise, our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and personable while touting our rather large group around.

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.

Ghost walk…Boo - For a ghost tour it fell flat. Our guide did more stories of intrigue instead of ghost stories. It was nice to walk around the Yale campus on a cool evening but that was the highlight. The stories were not compelling or that interesting. Our guide needs to hone his craft.

Haunted tour or prospective student? - Haunted walking tour? It was more like I walking night tour of the Yale University campus. This tour was beyond disappointing and our guide continually forgot information despite him telling us he’d been doing the tour for over a year. I would save your money unless you’re a prospective Yale student.
