I decided to take this tour in San Jose. It was OK. I have definitely been on better tours not guide did not really seem interested in her life or in the tour itself .

Definitely a fun experience for a small group

Fun, interesting and perfect walk for a fall evening. The tour guide Jess was fun and knowledgeable. The tales seemed to be exciting and real and most believable

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi, Judy! Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had a fun and interesting evening walk with Jess. It sounds like the tales really came alive for you, which is what we aim for. We’d love to have you join us again for another spooky adventure anytime!

My husband and I had a wonderful time with our guide. He was super nice, made us feel very comfortable and safe. Also he was very detailed in telling us the stories. San Jose is a beautiful city. Definitely will do the tour with the same guide again.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi, Patty! We appreciate your kind words! It's great to hear that our guide provided you with a safe, comfortable and informative tour while shedding light on San Jose's dark history. We’d be thrilled to welcome you and your husband back for another tour in the future!

Disappointed but turned out fun when started!

So the pin drop is different to the meeting point address. They are 6 mins apart. We got there early checked both locations, still no guide. It actually turned out the meeting point was a completely different place! Only by luck did we see the guide after he started and was walking on the tour. There was no effort from the head office to contact us when he informed them we were not there. And no contact no available to contact them. Just the message board but this doesn’t work for out of hours tours. Very disappointed with this. Once we were on the tour it was great, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic made the tour fun. He was great!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi, Emma! Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with locating the meeting point. We appreciate your patience, and we’ll certainly review our communication process to avoid this in the future. That said, we’re thrilled you still enjoyed the tour and had a great time with your knowledgeable guide! We hope to welcome you back soon for an even smoother adventure.
