The tour was full of exciting history and thrilling ghost stories. My family was in town for the evening only and wanted a way to get outside and learn about the city in an engaging way and this was a delightful way to do so. Patrick was an exemplary guide who brought so much energy to the stories and was extremely knowledgeable about the many tales of Cincinnati's haunting past. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello, Erica! We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that your family enjoyed the history and ghost stories, and that Patrick made the tour so engaging. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Patrick was amazing!!! He had such character and passion for history and ghost hunting which came through in his tellings. He spoke loud and clear for everyone to understand. Even if you walked around to look at the buildings or take pix he was always heard!

Susan_W, Oct 2024
Shelby was cute but her stories never seemed truthful especially when she told us about the man in the window of Music Hall. She said that it happened on her night but didn't have a photo even though she said a customer took 1...
Not believable

We’re glad you enjoyed Shelby’s charm, but we’re sorry to hear that you found some of the stories unconvincing. Please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with your booking name, and we’ll do our best to address your concerns. We appreciate your input!

Patrick was friendly and knowledgeable but he wasn't the best story teller. Alot of history which wad cool but without a dramatic flare his tour didn't feel like a ghost tour.

Our tour was a lot of fun! The tour guide was very charismatic and told a good amount of fun stories mixed with the history of Cincinatti. It was a great blend of history and fun. It was the perfect amount of time, and looped around fun points of Cincinatti. I would recommend for anyone visiting who wants to learn some history about the area.

The host/tour guide never showed up. Arrived early as asked, and then waited 15 minutes after the tour was supposed to start. From out of town and now I have to fight to get a refund.

Christopher_B, Jul 2023
This tour takes place at the University of Cincinnati...a very big campus that is difficult to navigate with all the construction. Couldn't find the meeting point, guide I had been communicating with wasn't helpful.
The company needs to rethink their tour and set it somewhere more appropriate and with easy access
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We're sorry to hear about the trouble you had in finding our tour. We hope this has since been resolved for you. If not, please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with the name your booking was under, and we'll be happy to assist you further.
