Compared to other ghost tours we have been on in other cities, this one was more basic storytelling and not much to show/see. The walk is easy. The tour guide did ok. The content was mostly boring, save for the first couple of boat stories. Would be improved with actually getting to walk the space you are telling the story about.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the tour didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve the experience for future guests.

It was boring so we left and had more fun enjoying the soccer match. The person leading it was blah and not worth sticking around.

Patty_D, Jun 2026
It was more about history and the buildings that have sighted ghosts. Jordan did a good job telling the stories though. Just wasn’t what I expected, but it wasn’t bad.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

We did the ghost walk with Jeff as our tour guide. As it was not during peak travel season, we were one on one with him. He was very personable, knew a lot of information about Portland, and told exceptionally spooky stories! The night was completed with fog as well. It was perfect!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for such a wonderful review! Getting a one-on-one tour is definitely a special experience, and it sounds like Jeff made the most of it. He’ll love hearing that you enjoyed his storytelling and deep knowledge of Portland’s history.

Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks, Leigh! We’re so glad your family enjoyed it just the right mix of spooky and fun for everyone!
Kim_W, Oct 2025
Guide attempted to entertain. However, tour involved passing around a binder of info multiple times. Included info not at all related to ghosts. Spent a good bit of time on a maine psychic that failed on Patty Hurst case.....left tour after that segment.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for your feedback. This tour usually gets great reviews but we understand that not every guest connects with every guide and of course some people want more of a haunted house experience than a haunted history tour.
Our tours include all kinds of paranormal stories beyond ghost stories including psychic phenomena, true crime, UFOs, local legends, cryptid sightings, and more! We use binders with historical photos, newspaper headlines, recreations, and much more to help people visualize the historical figures associated with the stories and to show proof where the tales were recounted by local journalists. We find most of our guests love all kinds of paranormal stories and it sparks their imaginations to see photos and articles about the real life people involved
Carson_A, Oct 2025
Our guide Grace was awesome! She was professional, engaging, and definitely knew the stories and told them well.
Unfortunately, the tour included AI images shown to us. Not only are AI generated images ethically questionable due to environmental concerns (the amount of water and energy that is wasted to make those picture is enormous), AI images also steal content from real artists in order to make its “art.”
The images took some of the fun out of the trip. We didnt need the silly pictures of what ghosts “could” look like. The fun of ghost tours is to hear spooky stories, personal accounts of ghosts, and learn some darker history about the city you’re in. The AI images took away so much from that experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, Carson! We’re happy to know you loved Grace and the stories she’ll be so happy to hear that. We also really appreciate your perspective on the AI images and will take it into account as we look at ways to keep the experience authentic and spooky for everyone.
Megan_M, Oct 2025
Jeff was an amazing tour guide! He made the story of the ghosts come alive! I would highly recommend taking the ghost tour!!!!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed Jeff’s storytelling and felt the ghosts come alive. We can’t wait to haunt you again on another tour!
Jon_A, Oct 2025
Lots of fun! Jeff was a very entertaining host for the tour! 5/5, highly recommend! We didn’t have little ones with us, but they might enjoy it too!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks, Jon! 👻 Glad you had a blast with Jeff we’d love to haunt with you and maybe the little ones again soon!
Staci_V, Oct 2025
Jeff's tongue-in-cheek storytelling about terrifying paranormal experiences in the Portland downtown was pitch perfect. My mother, daughter and I had so much fun. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
