I thought it was interesting. Not as scary as other tours I’ve been on. I still found it informative. Our guide was really informative and helpful with the information. The only problem I had was I couldn’t hear her at time because of the other things going on. Maybe give her a louder microphone.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found the tour interesting and informative, and that your guide made the experience enjoyable. We appreciate your note about the sound — we’ll definitely look into improving the microphone setup so everyone can hear clearly. We’ll also be sure to pass along your compliments to the guide. We hope to see you again soon for another great experience!

Bunk Don't Do It This Was Not Worth The Money This Was More Of A History Lesson Then A Ghost Tour Don't Do It Save Your Money
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Stories are not super scary. More just about people that died in the area. Tour guide was all over the place with her stories.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your honesty and will share your comments with our guide to improve the experience. We hope to see you again!

I had a great tour with Miles! I was in the LA area for a week attending a painting workshop that kept me busy all day. I also don't know anyone in the area. So I looked for a couple of fun activities I could do in the evenings, and be comfortable as a solo participant. I'm so glad I found this tour! I'm a big fan of both history and the paranormal so this was right up my alley. I love Route 66 and drove most of it in 2021 but had never seen the end-point, so that was definitely a highlight for me. I got some gorgeous photos of the area and a really beautiful sunset too. Miles was very personable and engaging. This was the most fun activity I did that week, outside of the workshop that was my reason for being in the area.
I'm mystified by the review that says all you do is "follow a guy around." That attendee must have had their hearing aids turned off. That's all I can think of, because Miles talked nonstop. Super informative and enjoyable. Would recommend to friends.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Kyra, thank you for taking the time to leave this great feedback for us. We're glad Miles took excellent care of you and provided an amazing experience! We appreciate you choosing us during your time in Santa Monica, and we hope to see you on another tour in the next city you visit.

Best date ever. Wasn’t what we expected but even better. Our host was so fun I could have listened to her talk about anything.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
This is what we love to hear. Thanks for joining us, Cody! We're glad to hear we exceeded your expectations, and we hope to have you on another tour in the future.

Nobody showed up
Nobody came to the Tour or designated meet up spot very disappointed waited 10 to 15 minutes. I would like a refund.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced. We understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive at the designated meetup spot and find no one there. Please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with the name your booking was under, and we'll be happy to assist you further and resolve this issue.
Humberto_M, Oct 2024
I am very disappointed with Viator's service. I waited at the designated location for my tour, but the guide never showed up. Despite contacting them, there was no communication during the scheduled time, and they have since refused to issue a refund for the service I never received. This experience in Los Angeles was a complete failure and does not reflect the quality I expected from Viator.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment you experienced. We understand how important it is to have clear communication and a smooth experience, and we deeply regret that we fell short of your expectations during your visit to Los Angeles. Please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with the name your booking was under, and we'll be happy to assist you further and address your concerns.

Our tour guide was excellent. We really enjoyed learning the history of Santa Monica. It was a cold, misty night but Miles didn’t rush us through.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Hi, Mary! Thank you for the great review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed learning about the history of Santa Monica with Miles. Despite the cold and misty night, it’s great that he made the tour enjoyable. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to him, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour soon!

This is the second tour we have done with US Ghosts and so far, it has not disappointed us. We got to walk the Santa Monica Pier with Miles on 2/7/24. He was great and went into so much detail about the history/ghost stories of Santa Monica. If you want to learn more about The Georgian Hotel, we recommend you take the tour!! Thanks, Miles, for a great adventure.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Madison’s detailed explanations made it even more engaging. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with her, and we hope to see you again for more exciting adventures!

Holiday season is the best time to go on a tour, chances could be good for either a small group or just the guide and you. It was just the guide and myself on this tour and it make it so much fun. We talked about music, traveling, and ghost stuff in between stops and that made the tour more personable and fun. I was not aware how spooky Santa Monica could be, but it is, and pretty too at night. Highly recommend tour and guide.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We're glad your guide was able to take you on a private solo tour! It's great to hear that they provided an excellent experience for you. We'd love to have you on another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!
Troy_F, Dec 2023

Response from Host, Dec 2023
Troy, we're glad you had a great time with us! Thank you for this 5-star feedback. We hope you're able to join us for another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!

The guy was nice but this was nothing like what we thought it would be we paid 150$ to follow a guy around there is no tour we were the only ones there your literally just walking behind him , nothing spooky not even any scary effects… wish I would have know before I wasted my money
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We're sorry to hear you were disappointed in your experience. As stated on our website, we are known for our walking ghost tours, in which our tour guides lead you to the different haunted locations and tell a story about each. We are unfortunately not able to enter any privately owned buildings. However, we do understand that it's up to the tour guide to make the evening memorable and entertaining. Please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with the name your booking was under. We'd love the chance to make this experience up to you.
Dana_S, Jul 2023
Worst ghost tour ever. We left the tour early because it was horrible. Another couple bailed out as well. The woman tour guide has such a heavy accent and we couldn’t understand her. There were no good ghost stories. Save your money!
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Dana, we're sorry to hear you did not enjoy your tour. We are used to getting great feedback about our guides, and it's unfortunate that it sounds like her presentation was not up to our normal standards. Please reach out to guestrelations@wejunket.com with the name your booking was under, and we'll be happy to assist you further. Thank you.

Mihaela was informative, congenial, caring and amazing. She accommodated our needs, was patient with our questions and digressions, and made my kid feel quite special.
Thank you Mihaela!
