Chatting with Ed, the ghost, was fun

Corina_D, Dec 2024
Had such a pleasant evening Cynthia. It was an absolutely beautiful slightly chilly evening for a walk around this charming town. At the end we had a nice encounter with one of the locals, Ed the ghost. He was very talkative.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi Corina and Randy, Thank you for your kind review of the Safety Harbor Ghost and Haunted History Tour! I’m thrilled you enjoyed our walk through the charming streets of Safety Harbor on such a beautiful, slightly chilly evening. Chatting with Ed, the ghost, is always a unique experience, and I’m glad he was feeling talkative during your visit! We hope to see you again soon for more paranormal encounters and fascinating stories. Happy hauntings! Cynthia Dominick Silent Slayer Ghost Tours

Stroll through Safety Harbor

Jonathon_G, Nov 2024
Knowledgeable guide, great price, and excellent value. Personally not a huge ghost type of person, but I had a good time and would recommend to anyone even if it's not particularly your main interest. There will be something for everyone to enjoy on the walk.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

It was a pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate your recommendation. Hope to see you on another adventure soon! Happy haunting, (Or not LOL) Cynthia Dominick Silent Slayer Ghost Tours

Intimate and Spooky!

Kendal_J, May 2024
Cynthia was so knowledgeable on all the history and details of Main Street. She kept is light and easy to follow. Felt like my partner and I got the VIP experience. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. I had never been on a haunted tour that let the participants use ghost equipment. That was a unique experience!

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Kendal, Thank you so much for your glowing review! I'm thrilled to hear that you both enjoyed the tour and felt like you had a VIP experience. It was my pleasure sharing the history and hauntings of Safety Harbor with you and your partner. I'm passionate about what I do, and it means a lot to know that it shines through during the tour. And I'm delighted that you found the opportunity to use the ghost hunting equipment unique and exciting – it's always fun to add an extra element of paranormal to the tours. I had a blast hanging out with you! Thank you again for joining me, and I hope to see you both on another ghost adventure soon. Happy haunting! Cynthia Dominick Silent Slayer Ghost Tours

Got a little town history; all in all, thought it was a little hokey

Sue_O, Mar 2024
Enjoyed a bit of the history of the buildings. But there was little background on the "ghosts". Other tours we've been on, were better storytellers and made it interesting.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Sue, Well, we're glad you enjoyed a bit of the history at least! It seems our ghosts weren't spooky enough for your taste, but we'll be sure to let them know to perform on demand like circus animals for your next visit. It was a windy night, so it was impossible to conduct some of our regular paranormal experiments without them being immediately debunked. My spirit friends usually join me unless I have a cooler/and or chiller in the group. Thanks for the input, and safe travels to Delaware! Sincerely, The Management Silent Slayer Ghost Tours

Mardi Gras tour with the spirits.

The tour was very boring...

Ronald_H, Nov 2023
The tour was very boring the tour guide was very informed although very pretty and alluring we did not see much in the ghost tour I've been on tours we never once entered one building the traffic noise was made at hard for us to hear her I asked her about another tour and she promised she would text me the information for that tour that never happened as well you know I'm a man of my word and I expect others to be as well a person of their word one thing I might suggest is get some permission to enter some buildings that might have some activity or take your tour to an area that actually has some activity I was not impressed in fact a little disappointed even though I tipped Cynthia very pretty girl very intriguing made me wish it wasn't married LOL

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Ronald, (aka Richard/Dick) Thank you for your enlightening feedback. We appreciate your keen insight into what makes a ghost tour truly haunting. We apologize for the oversight of not including a stop at the Ghosts-R-Us Haunted Mansion of Your Dreams. Clearly, our tour failed to meet your high standards of paranormal dating preferences – like you hitting on your tour guide and sending unwanted text messages at all hours of the night. Rest assured, we will reconsider our entire business model and consult the state's Dating Commission to ensure our tour guides are equipped to handle not just spirits, but also potential suitors. We understand that a haunted house would have been the perfect setting for a romantic rendezvous, and we apologize for not reading your mind. In the spirit of improvement, we'll also investigate the possibility of legally binding ghosts to haunted locations for your satisfaction. We wouldn't want to risk any legal trouble with the state's Ghost Patrol. Your concern for our legality is duly noted, and we'll be sure to get our ghostly paperwork in order. We appreciate your dedication to the paranormal cause and hope you find a ghost tour that meets your dating and haunting standards. Best of luck in your spectral search. Sincerely, Silent Slayer Ghost Tours Management

Our guide gave us a lot...

lisachristeen, Aug 2023
Our guide gave us a lot of history about the town of Safety Harbor - which is adorable! The evening stroll was a bit warm, but doable. There were quite a few ghost stories to be heard. She used spirit boxes and ghost tracker radios to search for paranormal energy activity. It was a lot of fun. We popped into The Spa to take a look around. What a place.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Ghost Tour of Safety Harbor and found the town's history and charm captivating.

It sounds like our Tracey made the experience even more exciting by incorporating spirit boxes and ghost tracker radios to engage with the paranormal energy activity. We're delighted that you had a lot of fun during the tour, and your enthusiasm shines through as you share your experience. It's great that you also took a moment to explore the spa and appreciated its unique atmosphere. If you ever decide to join us again for another adventure, we'd be thrilled to have you.

Overpriced

Victoria_S, Jul 2023
Tour scheduled for 7pm to 8:30pm,but went over.. Sorry I had to leave at 8:30. Did not see Safety Harbor Spa or the Turner Mansion. Tour overpriced at $30.00

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Victoria, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us regarding your recent Ghost Tour experience. We value all comments from our guests as they help us to continuously improve our services. I want to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the tour running late. Our Ghost Tour Guide, Tracey, was indeed ready to start at 7:00pm, but we understand that your party needed some extra time after dinner at Gigglewaters. We appreciate your understanding that this contributed to the delay. Additionally, we regret that the pace of the group and the difficulty some guests had with walking caused further delays during the tour. Regarding the missed sights, the Safety Harbor Resort, and the Tucker Mansion, I can assure you that they are always included as part of the tour. Unfortunately, since the tour was running late you had to miss these sites due to your departure from the tour. As for the pricing concern, we always aim to provide our guests with a fair and enjoyable experience. One of the aspects that sets our tours apart from others is the expertise of our guide, Tracey. She is not only a professional Tour Guide but also a medium, which adds a unique and captivating element to the experience. Moreover, we take pride in offering ghost hunting equipment to our guests, allowing them to immerse themselves fully in the experience. Sincerely, Cynthia Dominick Ghost Tour Guide & Paranormal Investigator

A Spirited Walk

David_S, Jan 2023
Fun, relaxing, very interesting and educational walking tour of Safety Harbor and some of its haunted sights. Our guide, Tracey, was really friendly and knowledgeable and it was a great evening. I will probably do it again at some point. I learned so much about the area and Tracey was excellent at bringing all the stories and history to life. It was fun when she got out the spirit box by the old tree—everyone had a great time. Highly recommend!
