The best of Portland after dark! - This was one of the best things we did while visiting Portland! The girl leading our group was very engaging and knowledgeable about the history and hauntings of Portland. She used a tablet to show us historical photos and even a video! This really helped us visualize what historic Portland was like and added to the experience of our tour. Although I didn’t see any ghosts someone on the tour claimed be highly intuitive and said he was touched on the head by a spirit at one of our stops! I’ve been on a few ghost tours but I feel like the folks who put this one together really went above and beyond! They even offered to walk us back to the start of the tour but we were staying in the Old Port about 5 mins from where the tour ended. If you enjoy history with a side of paranormal I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour with a ghostly twist! - This was a great tour! Our tour guide, Sam, did a wonderful job highlighting some of the ghostly locations around Portland. He also was easy to hear even above the traffic. I’ve lived around here for over 40 years and I learned new things!

Informative and fun - My GF and I and a friend visiting from CA took the Ghost Walk tour at the end of June. It was a beautiful, if a little gusty(added to the ghostly spirit) night in Portland. Our guide was charming and extremely knowledgeable about the historic context of the landmarks our group visited-as well the attendant haunted occurrences. I’d recommend the tour to anyone visiting the city or to anyone who’d like to see their home town from a new and unique vantage.

Spooky History Fun - We hopped on this Tour last minute on Saturday and they were so accommodating. I loved the Lantern carried by the guide. We learned so much, in a spoooooky way. Got the chills several times. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Absolutely recommend!!!

Would not recommend - The guide couldn't remember the details and had to keep relying on her husband with the tablet and told very few actual ghost stories. It was more "this place could be haunted". The older gentleman that was part of our group was more interesting giving us actual history of the area than the guide with the so called ghost stories. Also, kind of weird to not start and end in same spot or at least somewhere a little easier to get back to the main area of town.

Disappointed - My advice is make sure you will be getting Sam leading your tour. I say this because of reading all of the great reviews about him. We had his wife leading our tour. She seemed very scattered the entire tour. Everyone else seemed to be as bored and disappointed as we were.
