Fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Jason, was super knowledgable, funny, & sweet. We toured the downtown area of Mystic while listening to engaging stories of the history of the area. It was a walking tour at the end of November so the weather was cold which was out of our control but we are very happy we included this in our itinerary.

Jason was such a wonderful tour guide! We learned so much about the local history in addition to the spooky stories. Would really recommend!

    This is a great tour. Our tour guide told great stories. I didn’t know much about Mystic’s history. Highly recommend!

    If you love anything spooky go to this tour

    Ellyse_M, Oct 2025
    1000/10 one of the best tours I went on The guide was kind, funny, patient & extremely well informed (if you go & get AJ you’re set) He was honest that you may not actually see ghost which I appreciate which made any paranormal happening more authentic, he gave good details & was patient with those who weren’t walking fast even walked me back to my group after they left Fantastic experience if you like any of the Halloween festivities I cannot recommend this tour enough

    Jason did a great job....

    Marykaye_M, Oct 2025

    Francis_C, Sep 2025
    the tour guide was good but spoke too fast, and his humor wasn't very funny, all in all it was a B- compared to other ghost tours we've been on

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your guide’s knowledge of the area. We’ll be addressing pacing with our team so the storytelling can be easier to follow. Each of our guides brings their own personality to the experience, and we appreciate your perspective as we continue working to provide the best balance of history and hauntings for our guests.

    I absolutely love Kim and I think she is wonderful and spectacular. She was really detailed with everything she was saying, as well as very animated which really brought the stories to life for us!! You could also tell that she really cared about every person in the group, giving detailed directions on where to go afterwards, as well as checking in with us during the tour!!! Long story short we love Kim

    Learned about the history of Mystic and not just about the ghosts of Mystic. Kim was a great guide!!

    Tour guide was awesome!

    Greg_L, Aug 2025
    Tour guide was spot on about everything and funny. We enjoyed ourselves and loved learning the history of Mystic

    Boring

    Jeanine_B, Jul 2025
    Our guide was fabulous. The tour was boring and not what I expected. A ghost tour should be scary but this was not. I would not recommend this to anyone.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re glad to hear you found your guide fabulous — our team takes great pride in delivering thoughtful and engaging tours. That said, we understand that not every guest is looking for the same kind of ghost experience. Our tours are haunted history tours, focused on real stories, documented hauntings, and historical tragedies — not theatrical scares or fabricated jump moments. We aim to educate and intrigue through storytelling rooted in truth, rather than frighten for entertainment. If you’re looking for a scarier, adrenaline-fueled experience, a haunted house attraction or seasonal haunted maze might be more in line with what you’re seeking. We appreciate you giving us a try, and we hope you find the kind of ghostly thrill you’re after elsewhere. Wishing you all the best and safe haunts ahead.

    Fun Ghost Tour!

    Susan_E, Jul 2025
    Our tour guide Riley was wonderful! She is well versed, very entertaining and really draws you in to each ghostly experience! We had fun at every stop along the tour!

    The experience is great,...

    Justin_G, Jul 2025
    The experience is great, as it give you the opportunity to walk through the town while learning different things. It’s very interesting

    It's nothing more than someone reading a book to you.

    Jeff_W, Jul 2025
    The person speaking, AJ, had a wonderful memory and positive voice. However, he said "As Such", 500+ times and shouted at us. There was nothing remotely engaging or scary. And I got hurt on the tour, by a spike coming out of the ground that caught my flip flop and hurled me to the ground, in front of many witnesses.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you for joining us for a tour and for taking the time to share your feedback. I am so glad we were able to speak. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

    Spooky Fun Tour

    Barbara_B, Jul 2025
    The Ghost Tour was a fun, spooky, and fascinating experience! Our guide. Riley, was engaging and knowledgeable, blending local legends with real history in an entertaining way. The nighttime walk through historic Mystic added the perfect eerie atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable evening activity!

    Enjoyable and interesting tour

    Paul_M, Jul 2025
    Riley was a sweet interesting storyteller and we enjoyed seeing the haunted places in Mystic! We would love to do a tour in the dark next time we come.

    A Great Experience with a Great Guide

    AJ_C, Jul 2025
    This tour was really well done and entertaining. Our tour guide, Sierra, was incredible. She was knowledgeable and entertaining, great at communicating the stories. She was also very accommodating as we had our toddler and parents with us, and she was able to keep everything moving and attentive.
