John_R, Dec 2025

This walk was a bait and switch, it was informative about the history, but very little of it was actually about ghosts.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that the tour didn’t match your expectations. Our Hilo walk blends both history and ghost stories, and it sounds like the balance wasn’t what you were hoping for, we completely understand how that could feel disappointing. We never want guests to feel misled, so we truly appreciate you letting us know. We’ll review this with our team to make sure we’re setting clear expectations and delivering the right mix of storytelling throughout the tour.

No Ghosts but Great Tour

The tour guide asking if we have encountered any ghosts in our life. Great thing to do when you want to find some historical info about a place.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for joining us on the Hilo Ghost Walk!
