Zoe was very knowledgable and knew where to go, and what to say, to show us a good time, and inform us about ghosts and happenings in St.Petersburg. I learned alot and had a good time!

Luca “Our Pirate” Guide Newport, RI Pirates and Hags Tour
Luca was incredibly informed with a charming, energetic delivery during his tour. We covered so much history and tidbits of information which made it both entertaining and educational. His background as a teacher really showcased his capacity to delivery a variety of facts, while using personal accounts, pictures, and props to further encourage audience participation and involvement. The stories were varied, while the pace was just right. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would recommend this tour and guide 100 times over. Truly exceptional 🏴☠️☠️👻

Our tour guide was great, she's very animated and expressive and she made the tour more fun.
Sadly we didn't get the emf reader or ghost plush & i don't know why they offer them if they aren't available, but I suppose we will see if the refund for those items comes.

Hello Thea, thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that your guide made the experience fun and engaging. We're sorry the EMF reader and ghost plush weren't available during your visit. We understand how disappointing that can be, especially when those items were part of your purchase. We hope the refund is processed smoothly, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
Luca was a great tour guide. Dressed fully as a pirate and quick with the jokes; he kept a full crowd of varied ages, from various places and backgrounds entertained, informed, and engaged the whole tour.
The only complaint I could think of is that I wish the upsells (about "bonus" places that were actually listed as stops on the original tour, amongst other things) were more clearly explained (or explained at all) in the description before I paid for the tour.

Hi, thanks for sharing such detailed feedback! We're glad Luca kept the whole group entertained with his pirate character, humor, and storytelling, and that guests of all ages stayed engaged throughout the tour. We also appreciate you pointing out the confusion around the upsells and how the stops were described. We’ll share that feedback with our team so we can make the tour details clearer before guests book.
My wife and I did the Salisbury MD ghost tour with Grace and it was a great time. Grace's love for both the paranormal and the history of her hometown of Salisbury shone through. The tour took us around the old downtown section of Salisbury and there were plenty of stops to learn a little history and hear some paranormal tales. My wife was sure she saw Maud at the Post Office building's upper windows.

Hello Marc, thanks for sharing! We're glad you and your wife had such a great time exploring Salisbury with Grace. Her passion for the town’s history and paranormal side clearly made the tour special. And spotting Maud in the upper windows of the Post Office? That definitely sounds like a spooky bonus! 👻 We hope to see you both again for another haunted adventure!
Bought tickets for me and my boyfriend at the mesa arizona location. We showed up 30 minutes early, waited about an hour, and repeatedly did laps around the building just for our tour guide to never show up. The tickets were $70 for both of us. Don't waste your money its a total scam.
Reply from US Ghost Adventures2026-08-18
Hello, we’re very sorry to hear your guide did not arrive and that you and your boyfriend were left waiting despite arriving early. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, especially after paying for your tickets and setting aside the time for the tour. This is not the experience we want for our guests.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the meeting address was difficult to find and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll share your feedback with our team so we can improve the clarity of our meeting instructions.
Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciate the stops to fill water and get a restroom break. He shared a lot of history about Birmingham, I've lived here my entire life and did not know some of it.
I would recommend.
Its a walking tour and there is a lot of walking.
My 10yr old daughter loves all things ghosts. We upgraded and got her an EMF reader, which she loved. And she stayed interested in all the stories.
We also upgraded to the extended 30min. We didn't want to miss the opportunity to hear more about haunted Birmingham.
Thank you. We all enjoyed it.

Hello Alexa, thanks for sharing such a detailed review! We're glad your guide made the Birmingham tour both informative and enjoyable, especially by sharing history you hadn't heard before. It's great to hear your daughter had fun with the EMF reader and stayed engaged with the spooky stories. We also appreciate you mentioning the water and restroom stops and the extended tour. We're so glad your whole family enjoyed the experience and appreciate the recommendation!
When the sun goes down, the mood is right for ghost stories!
Excellent wealth of information about the area. You cannot beat the mood of an old town with cobblestone streets with some ghost stories.
Reply from US Ghost Adventures2026-08-21
Hello Ben, thanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed learning about the area and that the old-town atmosphere, cobblestone streets, and ghost stories made the evening extra special. We hope to see you again for another spooky adventure!
Guide Andy was very personable, super knowledgeable and thorough, engaged the whole time. Highly recommend him.

Hello Ralph, thanks for the great review! We're glad Andy made the tour such a personable and engaging experience with his knowledge and attention to detail. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words and recommendation along to him!
Our tour guide, Rick, did a great job explaining the Lizzy Borden murders, the individuals involved, the sheriff's actions (and mistakes), and the sensational court action and ruling that followed. My wife and I found out more factual information about the murders than any movie or tv show made about it. Rick did a good job telling the family history leading up to the murders through the investigation and trial to the falling out of the two sisters not talking to each other twenty years before their deaths while walking through the various rooms and basement. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We might book a room to stay in on another one of our travels.

Hello Russ, thanks for sharing such a detailed review! We're glad Rick gave you such an in-depth look at the Lizzie Borden case, from the family history and investigation to the trial and its aftermath. It's great to hear you found the factual details even more informative than what you've seen in movies and TV. We also love that you're considering an overnight stay for your next visit! We hope to welcome you back to the Borden House again soon.
Definitely worth it if into history and ghost stories
Ozzie was so friendly and knowledgeable. Some of the ghost stories made us think twice about going into some rooms of the hotel lobby we were staying at. Too much energy in those rooms.

Hello Gabe, thanks for sharing! We're glad Ozzie's friendly personality and knowledge made the tour such a fun experience. Sounds like some of those ghost stories really made you think twice about certain rooms afterward! We hope to see you again for another spooky adventure!
This is a great tour to do at night with a small group. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept up a comfortable pace both with his stories and walking. My only suggestion would be to include more historical ghost tales. Most of what we heard was from the late 20th century or even the 2000s.
Reply from US Ghost Adventures2026-08-21
Hello Kate, thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the nighttime setting, smaller group, and comfortable pace, and that your guide kept the tour informative and easygoing. We also appreciate your suggestion about including more historical ghost stories from earlier periods. We'll pass that along to our team as we continue looking for ways to make the tour even more engaging.
Great tour. Full of fun ghost stories and fantastic local history. Great spots to check out along the tour. Tour guide Jess was very fun to spend the evening with.

The company has not contacted me for partial refund for tour. We were very happy with our tour guide. She fell ill before the tour was over. She also said we would be contacted both groups for partial refund. We were not going to force this poor girl to continue the tour while being violently ill.

Hello Kati, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you were happy with your tour guide, and we appreciate your understanding when she became ill during the tour.

The lizzie borden bed and breakfast was very nice. Even with the spooky factor, it was still cozy & very comfortable. I slept great, the temperature was perfect & the whole experience was so cool. If youre into history & haunted houses this is the place to go!

We booked a last minute ghost tour in Branson during ridiculously hot weather. The temperature was 97° at 6pm but Liz didn’t hesitate to show us around. Her tour was the perfect blend of the town’s history, ghosts and personal experiences from the area. She had our tour of two (just me and my husband) to entertain and she was fantastic! There was plenty of parking, she didn’t rush through the tour and she even snapped a few pictures of us along the way. One of the most personable ghost tour guides we have encountered and we have been on a lot of ghost tours. We appreciate Liz braving the heat for our tour of two!

We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another spooky adventure soon!
