Please reach out to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com with your booking information so our team can assist you directly. Thank you.

Super great...

Super great communication!! I had trouble navigating the subway to make it there on time and our guide communicated over text to make sure I found the group. The tour was really interesting and a fun way to explore the neighborhood. Would book again to get the full experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello Aisha, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the guide was able to help you navigate the subway and connect with the group, great communication makes all the difference. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the tour and had fun exploring the neighborhood. We’d love to have you back anytime for the full experience!

Had a great time with Philip Learned about the history in NY and odd incidents that make you wonder if ghosts do exist

Response from Host, Dec 2024

We're glad you enjoyed your tour with Philip! Thank you for joining us. We hope to see you on another tour in the future.

Informative and interesting

Matthew_D, Nov 2023

Only 3 of us inc tour guide. Bitterly cold so felt alittle rushed but very informative and interesting facts. Would have enjoyed more with a slightly bigger group but still nice to have that more secluded feel.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you had fun on the tour, despite it being a more intimate group. We hope you're able to join us for another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!

Awesome

The guide Sara was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, friendly, & nice! The tour went at a good pace, the group was small, which we liked. I'm glad we took this tour!

Trish_H, Jan 2023

Very interesting! Matt definitely knows his stuff and tells it in a way that draws you in. Now I'll be looking at brick patterns everywhere I go.
