great
Laura_C, Mar 2024
Great guide with lots of info even on buildings, even ones not on haunted list. Perfect for pictures and information
Fun, ghostly, fact-filled tour
Angela_L, Oct 2023
The tour was great. We received a ton of information. Mike, our guide, was awesome. Super super nice and very informative. The meeting spot was easy to find and the tour was a good length. Personally, I loved hearing all the little details about certain spots. At the end, Mike walked with us back to the meeting spot so we could walk back to our hotel. He's overall a very nice guy.

Our guide did a great job telling the stories pertaining to each stop while keeping things entertaining. My teenage son enjoyed the history as much as the ghost tales.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled to hear the whole family enjoyed the tour, and the guide was able to blend history and hauntings perfectly together to keep everyone engaged and entertained. Thank you for choosing Ghost City Tours.
Nice nighttime walk
Walter_C, May 2023
Guide was very knowledgeable - she's a history student and did a lot of extra research on the history of the places in the tour.
Okay, not great.
Sheri_F, Oct 2022
Our tour leader was okay. Not very polished with her delivery. Interjected her political views at some of the sites. Was knowledgeable, but could tell she had memorized a script.
Response from Host, Dec 2023

Great ghost adventure

The ghost stories were interesting and fun, and the host was very good. We saw areas that we didn’t know about and learned it’s history.
Go on this tour!!
Tracy_F, Aug 2022
This was a fantastic tour. DJ was great. We had the perfect amount of people in our group. We learned so much about DC and it’s sordid past. We also saw some of my favorite buildings too! Win-win. 100% recommend.

Boring, slow pace,...
dalmeida87, Mar 2022
Boring, slow pace, uninteresting- guide meant well but was not a good story teller. Waste of time and money.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us. It’s extremely unfortunate your guide provided you with this type of tour. It is completely unacceptable, and we assure you that is not the standard we set at our company. We appreciate all feedback, and we assure you we will use this for future tour improvement. To make up for this, we would like to offer you free tickets to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes of giving you a much better experience.
Great guide!

My daughters and I had a great time. Our guide definitely had a knack for story telling. Great voice and he did a wonderful job describing the events and developing a mental visual picture. I would highly recommend this tour.
