They cancelled last minute

Erin_S, Aug 2025

Bad! They cancelled with about an hours notice and I didn’t see the email until we got there. We were disappointed and couldn’t reschedule for something else.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re truly sorry for the last-minute cancellation and the inconvenience it caused. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive expecting the tour, only to find it was canceled. We always aim to give as much notice as possible, and we regret that this situation impacted your plans. Please reach out to us at 855-999-0491 so we can make it right.

Joe turned a one star situation into a five star tour.

Amanda_H, Jul 2025

Loved Joe. He was great. Would have given a much lower star score if he hadn’t been so great. Really rough start. He was told to meet at the bean and we were told to meet at the fountain. We sent messages, left a voicemail and even ran to the next site to see if we could find the group. It was a ROUGH start. But he was personable, entertaining and knowledgeable. He really really turned a bad situation around and I hope he is appreciated. Not a scary tour. My daughter was nervous, but really not overly scary. Just cool information.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for joining us, and Joe, in Chicago. We really appreciate it and hope that the rest of your time in town was just as much fun!

UNghostly slightly boring tour

Wendy_L, May 2025

Worst ghostly tour in Chicago. The tour guide was super nice and energetic but that didn’t make up for the fact that she was 25 minutes late and her stories, though mildly interesting, were not scary or ghostly at all. It was really awkward… everyone in my group was rolling eyes and embarrassed for her and … bored.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found your guide nice and energetic, though we understand that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We also recognize your concerns about the delayed start and the balance of historical versus ghostly storytelling. Because the circumstances surrounding the late arrival and the experience are important to review accurately, we would welcome the opportunity to look into the reservation and tour details directly. Please contact info@ghostcitytours.com so our team can review what occurred. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Ghosted by the ghost tour guide

Mary_O, Oct 2022

We showed up at the meeting spot in light drizzle, very excited to hear about the haunted spots in the city. Around 7pm I called, only to be told the tour guide wasn’t coming! I asked when the company had planned to notify me? No apology. They told me I had to contact Viator for a refund. Being “ghosted” by the ghost city tour guide!! ..was my memorable experience of this activity!! Extremely disappointed and the company’s behavior was unacceptable! I couldn’t recommend Ghost Tours to anyone else. This experience truly ruined the evening for me and family. We walked around Millennium Pk ourselves and tried to make the best of things but come on, is this a way to run things?

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how disappointing it would be to arrive looking forward to the tour and then learn that it would not be taking place, especially when you were with family and had planned your evening around it. We appreciate the opportunity to review your concerns, including the communication you described. Because the details surrounding this reservation are important, we would welcome the opportunity to look into what happened directly. Please contact info@ghostcitytours.com so our team can review the circumstances. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
