Reviews
The information provided on the website was misleading. As locals, we found the adults-only tour focused more on the city’s history than the haunted sites we anticipated. Over the 105 minutes, we heard about only three locations in about 20 minutes. Although the guide was pleasant, the experience was very disappointing.
This tour was a great experience for us. We learned a great deal about Fort Worth's history. Randy, our guide, was not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly pleasant.
The tour was fantastic. We brought along a local friend who was surprised by the history he learned about in his own city. Randy was an excellent guide, and we are very grateful for his time and interesting stories.
Downtown Fort Worth on a Saturday evening is lively, making it difficult to hear our guide, as I caught less than half of what he said. He advised us to move closer if we couldn’t hear, but with over 30 people in the group, that was quite challenging. The snippets of his talk I did manage to grasp were lengthy discussions about key historical figures in the area, with little focus on ghosts. Previously, we enjoyed a similar tour in Flagstaff, but this experience fell short. It could have been improved with a smaller group and a different guide.
Loretta was my tour guide, and she did a great job. The tour was decent, but it felt a bit lengthy with the stories. They focused more on crime tales rather than hauntings.
The guide was friendly and well-informed, ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves. Despite my prior knowledge of the area, I discovered a lot about the intriguing history of Fort Worth.
The tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, energetic, and an excellent storyteller. She was accommodating and kind, making her narratives both interesting and informative. We gained a lot of insights from the experience.
Ivy, our guide, was incredibly fun and fully embraced the theme with her attire. Her great personality and engaging storytelling made the experience enjoyable.
Skylar truly stood out as an exceptional guide. Her storytelling talent, combined with her quirky personality, made the experience enjoyable and memorable. With a wealth of knowledge and captivating insights into the paranormal, she kept us engaged throughout. The weather was also ideal for the event. I highly recommend this experience to anyone.
I brought my teenagers along, and they really enjoyed it! The tour guide was fantastic, making it a must-do experience. My son captured plenty of great photos.
