Super great...

aisha_r, Nov 2025
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.

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!
