Fun and nice length of time even in the cold. - Learning about the underground railway stopping in Portsmouth! We didn’t see any ghosts but we are certain the ghosts saw us:) FYI, the final stop at brewery was surprised it was closed for renovations. Went to Gaslight instead.

Great Memories in Portland - We spent our 30 year anniversary visiting the New England area all the way from Hilo Hawaii, the Portland Maine food tour was one of the high lights of our trip. Timothy was a great tour guide! very informative and colorful. In a good way! The food was awesome, the smoked scallops were amazing! Thank you again for a great memory!!! Aloha

A great way to tour Portsmouth at your own pace - The walking ghost tour was an excellent way to see Portsmouth and learn a bit of its history rich in facts about merchant life along the sea coast.

Fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon after Halloween - A good way to see a different side of Portsmouth not usually seen by tourists. It’s best if each participant listens on their own phone with earbuds. Despite walking together, the audio wasn’t always in sync with each other.

Glad we had it. Doesn’t substitute for personal tour. - The narrative was excellent. However, occasionally We ended up ahead or behind the narrative relating to a specific place.

Better access to tour - The story’s were great but only 3 of my 8 friends could download the tour. So trying to listen was tough to hear with street noise.

Disappointed - I was not able to hear/listen to the tour. My Bluetooth was connected to my earbuds, I was able to listen to other things on my phone, but the guided tour was not connecting to my phone. I am visually impaired, so being able to hear the tour would have been helpful. Th two other people, my husband and son, had audio and were able to follow the tour. Because of that, I could follow them. HOWEVER, the tour would have been BETTER if the audio had worked for me as well.
