Fun and Educational Ghost Tour with Friendly Spirits! - Rose Ann was an incredible ghost whisperer! She brought the stories of Tampa’s ghosts to life, making the experience both educational and thrilling. The EMW devices added an extra layer of excitement and made us feel truly connected to the paranormal. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Tampa’s haunted history!

Walking through history - Great walking tour learning not only about the ghosts but also the history of Tampa. It was great getting to see the inside of a hotel to really bring to life the story.

Creepy fun on a Saturday night! - Dustin was a great guide, very entertaining. My hubby is a pretty stoic guy, but he smiled and enjoyed the whole time. If you’re looking for something fun to do, I recommend this tour.

Worth the money! - This tour was amazing! Our guide Dustin was super nice and very animated when talking. He had a lot of info about the history and took us to several awesome locations. Definitely worth it! Thanks for the great time!

Ghosts + Dustin = Fun Adventure - Dustin is an amazing tour guide. He interacted with each of us, remaining curious and excited about learning new facts, legends, and lore provided by his group members. He was super kid friendly while still enlightening the adults of more salacious history in a way Loony Tunes mastered. I lived in Tampa for over 30 years and never knew any of the history I learned with Dustin - not just ghost stories. Thank you, Dustin!

Not outstanding, pretty average - This tour was pretty vanilla, more of a nighttime walk and discussing the pretty buildings. Very few references to people having actual ghostly experiences and more of a "this happened here to this person in history".

Not bad - It was an average tour. I’ve been on better ghost tours in Savannah, Portsmouth NH, Key West, and Saint Augustine. Usually the tour guides seem more into it and there are more details but Dustin was fun and the group of teenagers we brought had fun.

DO NOT BOOK - This is a scam, no where on the booking site does it mention it is a walking tour. Do not book from this company. When I contacted them they basically said too bad. Be prepared to be harassed by local homeless people interrupting the tour and harassing for money or cigarettes

Miserable tour - I DON’t recommend this tour. The idea of the tour itself is very promising, ‼️but in reality Dustin (the name of the guide) turned out to be boring and uninteresting. It's hard to call it an excursion at all, and $35 with such a guide is certainly not worth it. It felt like he didn't know what he was talking about.. don't waste money and time. Besides, after the tour, he offered to have a drink with him, a very strange type, be careful.
