    Yes- it was super fun. Our guide was the bomb.

    Lorelei_W, Dec 2024
    This was soooooo much fun. My 10-year-old and I are moving to Albany and wanted to know more about the city. Learning of the 90’ marble columns, the witches held hostage in the old jail, the single building left standing from the 1700’s, those faces etched in the siding, and what the eff is that egg thing- I would have never imagined it was a performing arts center with a freaking concrete top… If you think you are interest, do it. Our guide, I can’t remember his name for the life of me, was so much fun. He’s lived in Albany all of his life, and you can see how much he loves the town’s history. Thank you for employing such awesome people! - Dr. Lorelei Walker

    Worst tour ever

    Nancy_T, Oct 2022
    The tour guide was the worst I have ever had. I would have given this a zero rating if I was allowed. The guide started off by insulting us and some others as well. She told my daughter to keep her children away from her because she didn’t like people near her - my grandchildren weren’t anywhere near her and were totally behaving. She had so many opinionated side comments during the tour that the actual story was lost. When she looked at her notes she would say things like “I’m not saying that” or “I don’t like that.” Nothing she shared that was supposed to be about the ghosts was and the little bit she shared was lost in her side stories. Her history was somewhat slanted and off. For example, we learned she hates Thomas Edison because he killed an elephant with electricity, which had nothing to do with Albany or the story she was telling. She had us guess the major animal of the area at the time of white settlers and said it was the size of a VW bug - then gave a hint that it was trapped - I said Beaver, which was correct - when was a beaver ever the size of a car?? She kept changing her voice into a high pitch squeal when following a script and a low voice when it was her own opinion. She also insisted on telling stories while walking and getting annoyed because we couldn’t hear her while we walked. When we did stop to hear a story, she would face the building with us to her back so it was still hard to hear. We left about 1/4 way through because we couldn’t take her any more. Other customers begged us to stay because they didn’t want to be with her either. I have put in for a refund of 75% because we did do about 1/4 of the trip but that is us being generous. She is a bad reflection of your tour company.

    More interesting audible facts please

    I don't remember anything memorable. The tour was short, couldnt really hear the guy. He was in a rush and cut the tour short. Was to be 1.5 hrs down to 1.0. Either there wasnt enough haunted history to warrant a tour or he didn't do that good. We have went on many hours like this in other places. All great.

    Interesting guide

    The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She had a lot of interesting stories. Would definitely recommend her.

    Good but not what we expected

    shirlyn_j, Sep 2021
    We were expecting more about ghosts and it was more historical. Tour guide was really nice. Loved the architecture.
