Great walking tour/ Ybor history lesson!

Michelle_T, Jan 2024

Laura! Super nice, funny and knowledgeable! Fav part was the chicken story! Oh, plus the bars and meeting new people! I loved the slow paced walk, all the stories about Ybor and its ghosts. The best....and we found a lil hidden gem, The Castle....next time around we'll be heading there for a drink or two... Thank you Laura! Appreciate you!!

Great way to spend the evening!

David_M, Nov 2023

It was a wonderful way to spend an evening. The guide knew her stuff and engaged every member of our group well.

Highlight of our trip!!

Alicia_H, Nov 2023

We had an excellent time on our ghost and pub tour of Ybor! Laura was a wonderful storyteller; she brought the history of this vibrant neighborhood to life. While we had no ghostly experiences, we explored bars in the area we would have missed without this tour and enjoyed some spooky stories. We were a small group, and by the night's end we were hanging out like old friends. Definitely the highlight of our time in Ybor!

We enjoyed the Pub Crawl,...

Jennifer_S, Jun 2023

We enjoyed the Pub Crawl, but was looking more foe the ghost locations not so much of a story telling walk. Hope was our guide and was a very good story teller.

Enjoyed our Ghost/Pub Tour/walk with Callie

Thomas_B, Feb 2023

Callie was an excellent host for our Ghost/Pub Tour. She had lots of Ghost stories. Liked the Pubs she chose.

Great Night

Chris_K, Jan 2023

First off, I would like to comment on the customer service person's. We we're running late and miss the first stop. The customer service was able to get us information for the second stops for the rest of the tour. Eric T pirate is really good! He was very engaging very entertaining. We will definitely doing another tour when we are back in Tampa!

Fun in Ybor City

Vanessa_B, Nov 2022

It was a lot of fun to learn history of Ybor City. Being a native Floridian I had no clue about a lot of it. Our tour guide was amazing and added some flare with great story telling!

Good times

Brian_S, Oct 2022

Callie was a wonderful host and told some amazing stories about the history of Ybor. Being able to do a bar crawl simultaneously was a very nice touch as well. Definitely recommend checking out and going with some friends or family or for a date! My favorite stop was the mead hall.

Fun and Unique Experience

Craig_C, Sep 2022

Our group had a fun time with our guide Lilly on this tour. It was a unique and enjoyable experience. We really enjoyed learning about the history of Ybor, especially the ghosts and chickens!

Fun!

Monica_W, Aug 2022

Wonderful experience with Morgan! The only thing could have made the tour better is if we had seen an actual ghost

Couldn’t hear guide and left early

Amanda_C, Jun 2022

Left early because we were bored. Couldn’t hear the guide speaking over the TVs in the bar and she didn’t want to go outside where we could hear her. Don’t waste your money.

Awesome spirits and stories!

Stephanie_C, May 2022

Our tour guide was fantastic! Very personable and knowledgeable and kept us entertained through the tour.

No Beer No Ghosts

Steven_T, May 2022

Pub ghost tour with limited pub stops and fake ghost stories. Also promised a tour guide dressed in pirate attire and got …I’m not sure what. Went on the tour for over an hour without a single pub stop or drink! Would not recommend. May as well make up your own stories and hit the bars.

Bar crawl with historical background

Lora_P, May 2022

The stories and the personality of the hostess/tour guide - very energetic and knowledgeable. Overall it was less drinking than I expected for a pub crawl. Perhaps having specific drinks planned out at different stops ahead of time would be a better way to organize this? Overall a fun time.

Looking forward to returning and going on another tour

Joseph_C, May 2022

Callie Randall was very informative, interactive and knew history well. She was very friendly and open to all questions. She describes things so well, you can actually see yourself back in time.

Great time with friends!

Tracy_J, Apr 2022

Our tour guide was the best! She had us laughing and all were having a great time. Would do it again.

Fun but not what we expected.

Sabrina_A, Mar 2022

We really enjoyed meeting the other people on the tour and the guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Ybor City.

Not the right tour

Paul_B, Nov 2021

Our guide Sandra was extremely nice and personable but the tour just missed the mark for everyone. I've never done a ghost tour but the others had and felt this one didn't measure up. It's challenging to have a Ghost Tour stopping in bars especially on a Friday night in popular party place of Tampa - minimal spooky vibe. I think focusing on less traveled areas and getting access to some of the Social Clubs would help immensely. Likely drop the pub crawl aspect as well - didn't enhance the experience but kind of confused it. Probably less mention of the other competing tours would be good.

My boyfriend bought us...

Andrew_S, Nov 2021

My boyfriend bought us tickets to this tour and we had a fantastic time! It was so much fun to learn a little history and hear about ghost the stories that had happened in the buildings we went to. We even got to see the great great great “grand chickens” that have descended from the chickens that lived in ybor back in the day when it was an industrial town. Definitely recommend this if you’re new to the area or just passing through!!
