It was just a bit quick. Didnt really do much vs what we were expecting. Seemed like a little walk around the city. Just pointing at things. Definitely didn't feel like it was worth the pricing for so little. The tour should b anywhere from 10-20 dollars but ovwr 60 for 2 people to literally walk around 2 blocks was a bit ridiculous..

The Tides of Terror ghost tour gives a spooky retrospective of the nefarious and notorious characters known to Tampa and the historic architecture that houses these “ghosts.”
The Tour guide was excellent!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Tides of Terror tour and found the stories spooky and engaging. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to the guide. We hope to see you again soon for another hauntingly fun experience!

We had our tour with Tyler, who was so fun, and knowledgeable! He is the perfect guide for this type of tour. The sites and stories were also great!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Veronica, he’s an awesome storyteller and knows how to make each stop come alive. We’re so glad you had such a great time with Tyler! Thanks for joining us for a night of history and haunts!
Carlos_S, Jul 2025
It was good my complaint is once you arrived the guide ask you you wanna do the extended tour it's 4 more stops for an extra charge, why not do the whole thing just charge the full price from the beginning
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Carlos, thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and truly appreciate your note about the extended option. We’ll review how we present these details so future guests know exactly what to expect. Thank you for joining, and we can't wait to have you back!

Very interesting history included at each location. Sean did a nice job. He was very eager to answer any questions we had.

Hello Molly, that’s why we are here, to share spooky stories of the past. Sean would be pleased to hear these kind words, he’ll be happy to hear about these. Thank you for exploring with us. We’d love to have you back for more history, haunts, and maybe a few more encounters!

Response from Host, Dec 2024
Hi, Karina! We appreciate your feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that Alexis created an engaging experience for you while highlighting Tampa’s dark history. We’d love to have you back for another memorable tour soon!
Helma_M, Sep 2024
There was no guide. We waited for nothing. After calling no excuses, just said they can plan us in for the next day. We came special from far and that was no option for us. We are on holidays and had our days planned. They didn't even cancel our trip
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hi, Helma! We’re truly sorry to hear about the experience you had. It’s understandable how frustrating it must have been to arrive and find there was no guide, especially when you were on holiday and had plans in place. We hope this matter has been resolved since your tour, but if you need further assistance, please contact us at guestrelations@wejunket.com with your booking details, and we will be happy to help.
Patrick_M, Sep 2024
Hearing about all the ghost stories and using the EMF reader. Also, Alexis (tour guide) was a great host and very knowledgeable
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hi, Patrick! We’re so glad you had a great time on the tour and that Alexis made it extra special with her knowledge and storytelling! The EMF reader adds such a fun element to the experience. We hope to see you again soon for another spooky and informative tour!

Maria_A, Jul 2024
It was kind of boring. The title of the tour raises your expectation but it's underwhelming. I do not recommend it.

Elizabeth_E, Oct 2023
Tyler was our ghost tour guide. He was accommodating and very knowledgeable of historical events. However, he made the tour fun and interesting. He gets 10 stars out of 5, as I would take the tour again.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We're glad you had a great time on Tyler's tour. Thank you for this amazing feedback!
Jeremiah_A, Sep 2023
Dustin, our tour guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The history he told of every stop was very insightful. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tampa.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We're glad Dustin provided an excellent experience for you. Thanks for joining us!
Jennifer_S, Sep 2023
We found the tour to be informative, fun and a good start to the Halloween season. Our 12-year-old son had a great time and our guide, Dustin, was the best!
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thanks for this review, Jennifer. We're glad you enjoyed your tour with Dustin!
David_R, Sep 2023
Incredible guise! Fun exciting stories!
My only suggestion for improvement would be when the guide turns toward the building and talks (away from the crowd), we couldn’t hear him). Disappointing because he was so interesting.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hi, David! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour, and that your guide provided some exciting storytelling. We definitely appreciate your suggestion--we'll be sure to pass it along to our team! Thank you so much for sharing your great experience with us, and we look forward to seeing you on another tour in the next city you visit!
David_D, Aug 2023
We would be happy to see more monuments with less talk. But it was an interesting visit to discover the city
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hi, David! Thank you for your feedback. It's unfortunate to hear that you felt there wasn't enough balance between the stories told and the locations visited. There is just so many fascinating things to share about our city that our guides want to fit everything in! In any case, we appreciate your input and we're glad you were able to explore Tampa. We'd love to have you on another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit--there are plenty more haunted locations to go around!
simon_w, Jul 2023
The stories at each stop were very excellent and well presented. I would highly recommend this tour. Weather you are in a group or as a couple, this tour will keep you entertained and provide lots of interesting facts.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you so much for these kind words, Simon! We are grateful to hear you'd highly recommend the tour, and it means a lot to know you'd consider us fun for everyone. We'd love to have you back anytime!
Michael_I, Jul 2023
Tour guide and information was great, super fun! Only feedback is I wish the tour had access to enter the locations. Would have liked more of a haunted tour than a walking tour
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Hi Michael! We are so glad your guide provided a fun and informative tour. We definitely understand wanting to explore the locations--unfortunately we are unable to do so as they are privately owned. In any case, we're glad you still had an enjoyable time and we hope you join us on another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!
David_K, Jun 2023
Looking through the windows of the S.H. Kress building for black eyed children. Tyler was great! He kept us engaged.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Hi, David! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Tyler and that he showed you where to look for the most ghostly activity. Thank you so much for this review, and we hope you join us again in the future!

Good walk around as well.

We had a blast seeing all the locations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had many stories of hauntings and historical events along with jokes . A must do !
Response from Host, May 2023
We're thrilled to read this, Brittany! Thank you for considering us a "must do" in Tampa--that means so much to us! Our guides are great at balancing the humor and the history, and we're glad you enjoyed it. Come back and see us anytime!
Tammy_B, Mar 2023
Tour guide was good but it was very boring and not what was advertised. Nothing scary in any way. It is more a historical view of Tampa.
Response from Host, May 2023
Hello, Tammy--we're very sorry to hear this event was not what you expected. We always want our guests to be entertained and happy, and it's unfortunate that didn't happen for you. We'd love the opportunity to discuss this further: please contact us at 844-757-5657 or guestrelations@wejunket.com. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to hear from you soon!
Michaelangelo_K, Mar 2023
Tour guide seemed unprofessional . She was nice but she showed up with kids face paint on. She blandly told stories and seemed to be new. This was apparent as she was fumbling through the stories and not specific of details . She took us to a cemetery and it was locked to her surprised so we were unable to go in. I would not recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2023
Michael, we are so sorry to hear this tour did not meet your expectations. We always want our guests to have a great experience and it's disappointing that this was not the case here.

Tyler was so knowledgeable and kept us engaged! The info was PG and would be good even for families with older elementary age kiddos. Great local tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We're glad you had a great time on Tyler's tour!
Aimee_J, Oct 2022
Our guide, Tyler, was an excellent story teller. He was knowledgeable, friendly and the tone and cadence of his voice was perfect for keeping a crown of people engaged in the story.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Aimee, thanks for this great review of Tyler's tour. We're glad you joined us!
Janice_H, Sep 2022
Learning the history of the historical buildings we saw.
It was a little spooky when we saw a black cat staring at us when we visited the cemetery.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Janice, thanks for this great review of our tour!
Jennifer_H, Sep 2022
