5.00Fantastic and very well spoken guide. Steve was amazing! Despite a delay in the tour from a previous guides injury, they were willing to either reschedule me or book me on a different tour, which worked out brilliantly.
I treat to the curious!

Our guide Roseanne has all skills and knowledge to make the tour entertaining. She linked the historic facts of the different tour stops, making it easy for me to visualize Tampa old times. Highly recommend!

5.00My friend and I had a great time on this tour. Max is an engaging guide who has so many stories to share. There are secrets to the past hidden in plain sight that you would never know unless you take the tour. It's a fun adventure. I highly recommend!
Misled by the name of the tour

1.00Disappointed as this experience is not catered for family and kids. We had expectation of the thrilling, spooky vibe, element of surprise but it was simply a history tour. The guide is extremely knowledgeable about Tampa Bay’s criminals and interesting facts, but it was not what we imagined.
Great ghost tour in Tampa!

5.00My husband and I throughly enjoyed our ghost tour of Tampa. Rose Ann had a lot of information about the history of Tampa, the scandals and some ghost sightings. Even go to see the old cemetery. Fun way to learn about the area!
Fun evening walk while on vacation

5.00Rose Ann was a wonderful hostess for our tour. She is very knowledgeable on the history of the Tampa area and it's ghosts! Unfortunately we didn't hear Rosa Rio playing her organ inside the theatre.
