A nice walk but there is a bit of uphill climbing and uneven pavement and it's dark so beware. Annapolis is beautiful and full of history.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Traveled an hour for the tour. Parking was terrible so crowded down there. Couldn't find the tour guide. Found who we thought our tour guide was listened for 15 mins to find out it wasn't and our tour had already left. No refund and no tour.

We completely understand how frustrating it must have been, especially after traveling an hour and dealing with parking issues.

I had a fantastic time on the Annapolis ghost tour with our guide, Spirited Nan! She was warm, engaging, and full of captivating local stories that made the city’s haunted history come alive. Her energy and storytelling made the whole experience so much fun—highly recommend!

5 stops anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes per stop. Spent half the time walking on uneven sidewalks made of bricks from the 1700's at quite a brisk pace as in a hurry to get thru the tour. Asked the guide to please slow her pace as not everyone in the group could keep up. I felt the stories were somewhat interesting but found the architecture to be more interesting than the stories
In all, the experience was fair and not for those who have problems with balance or any physical limitations due to long uphill walks on uneven sidewalks.
Response from Host, May 2025
We appreciate you sharing your experience and apologize that the pace and physical demands of the tour created challenges. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be reviewing this with our team. Please contact us at guestrelations@wejunket.com with your booking name so we can help resolve this for you.

Nicole_H, Oct 2024
Great historical lesson about the dark secrets of Annapolis. I was shocked and disappointed by the abuse of women and the way many of them met their end here. My heart weeps for them and their spirts.
Response from Host, Feb 2025

William_A, Sep 2024
Our tour guide seemed like she was trying to recite a memorized script and failing at it. Her narration was stilted and broke and took away from the tour experience so much that we left early.

We sincerely apologize for the experience you had during the tour. It’s disappointing to hear that the narration felt stilted and that it impacted your enjoyment of the tour. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.

Our guide needed more practice in engaging the audience and keeping their attention. Annapolis is a perfect location for this type of a tour, and it would have been much more fun if the delivery was more spontaneous.

Melissa did an excellent job as a tour guide. It was an interesting and engaging tour. Apparently the reviews have to be at least 100 words. I suggest changing that.

Martin_W, Jul 2024
Shelby was a great tour guide. She was super friendly and approachable. She also was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of historic facts about the town. It was great experience overall and very informative way to learn about Annapolis. Ghost stories were fun! It would be even better if it was offered at 9 during the summer so it’s darker and cooler 😊
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Hello, Martin! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad that Shelby made your experience both fun and educational. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We also love your idea of a later start time during the summer, and we’ll definitely keep it in mind. We hope to see you again soon for another tour!
Brooke_B, Jul 2024
Thanks for what ended up to be a private ghost tour on the 4th of July! We booked the same day, so we’re very grateful that they could accommodate us. We loved hearing the stories and getting to know the city. Thanks so much!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your great feedback! We’re so glad we could offer you a private ghost tour on the 4th of July, and it’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the stories and learning about the city. We’ll pass along your compliments to the guide, and we hope to see you again on another tour soon!
Sangeeta_A, Jun 2024
Fun stories and nice tour and guide (Calum?) was very nice but too expensive for 1 hr of stories. The tour should do more or include more stories for that price. Plus, it was sometimes difficult to hear the guide when close to busy Main Street
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your feedback! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the stories and had a positive experience with Calum. We’ll definitely pass on your compliments. We understand your thoughts on the tour length and the difficulty of hearing in busy spots, and we’ll work on ways to improve. We hope to see you again soon!
Nancy_R, Jun 2024
We really enjoyed our tour with Spirited Nan! It was a fun hour spent walking some of the streets off of the wharf & Capitol Circle, seeing some of the older parts of Annapolis & hearing the hair-raising tales of the historic homes’ past-and-now-ghostly residents.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Hello, Nancy! Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you had a fun time with Spirited Nan and enjoyed the haunted history of Annapolis. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with her. We hope to see you again on another tour!
Gelcys_C, Jun 2024
We came to spend the weekend in Annapolis, and this tour was a great way to kick it off. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, the stories Cal shared with us were very entertaining, the historical context of each of the buildings was interesting and the walk through the historical center of Annapolis provided a nice layout of this beautiful part of the US.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
We really appreciate your feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that the tour was a great start to your weekend in Annapolis. Cal will be thrilled to know you enjoyed the historical context and stories. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Alison_W, Apr 2024
Great tour! Spirited Nan was an excellent guide with a passion for what she does. Lots of good historical information mixed in with the spooky stuff. I recommend the EMF detectors for an elevated ghostly experience.
Melissa_M, Apr 2024
The Reynolds tavern was my favorite, the story was great and the guide was great at telling the stories
Jim_T, Apr 2024
Cal did a great job. He told the stories with great detail and passion. Overall it was about an hour. We left at the end and went into the haunted bar. Worth the tour.
Gregory_A, Apr 2024
We walked through beautiful parts of Annapolis. The tour guide did a great job with believable ghost stories
Mark_D, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was awesome! Lots of spooky history in Annapiolis! I do think for such a short tour the price was too high.
Pat_M, Nov 2023
Tal was very knowledgeable and outgoing. The tour was really good. We had a good group of people. Tal made the tour fun.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hi, Pat! We are so happy to hear this. Thank you for joining us on a tour! It's great to know that Tal provided an excellent experience for you and your group. Be sure to check out the US Ghost Adventures website to find another tour in the next city you visit--we'd love to see you again soon!
Jessica_A, Oct 2023
Our guide Tal was fun and friendly and knew his stuff. He gave us a good mix of both the history and the hauntings. We especially liked learning about the Maryland Inn’s history and its ghosts. He even took the time to listen to our own “ghost story” afterward and gave us some extra back stories on places that weren’t on the tour. A fun experience all around.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We're glad you had a great time, Jessica! Thanks for sharing your great experience on Tal's tour.
Nancy_N, Oct 2023
It was a beautiful night and it was nice walking through the streets of Annapolis at night.
However, there were not enough spooky stories and many had no real point.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Nancy, we're sorry to hear you did not enjoy the stories told on your tour. Our guides are expected to provide a good mix of both history and hauntings, and it's unfortunate you felt this was not the case for you. Please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with the name your booking was under, and we'll be able to assist you further. Thank you.
Tim_H, Sep 2023
