Dark history facts but lots of fun - Ethan was such a great tour guide. He had a bunch of history facts and quips, and brought a bit of laughter to some really dark history. I grew up around here, but had not heard most of the stories, so it was really nice to visit home and still learn something new about the area.

An OK Activity - Enjoyable, guide was adept and personable. Stories were so/so. The Old Town is always a fun place to explore and it is a safe place to be after dark.

A fun way to explore old town at night. - The tour was fun and I really enjoyed learning about Sacramento, the tour it self felt like it needed more spooky elements delivered in story form.

Old Sacramento history lesson for fun - We enjoyed ourselves, but like some of the other reviews I read, it wasn’t very professional, but our guide was very sweet and tried her best. We would like to do the underground tour next.

Just OK - Just ok. I’ve been on other ghost tours that were amazing but this one didn’t live up to a true ghost tour. The guide was good and knowledgeable, but made a lot of jokes. We ordered an EMF detector and two ghost plushies. The plushies were not available so he gave us a few more detectors which were not needed and one stopped working within 5 min of the tour. The detectors were not like others ones I’ve had where there’s audio as well. My son left a review on another site and immediately got a response asking to email their guest relations dept with our booking information which I did the next day. Here it is a few days later and no response. I emailed again asking for a response and still nothing. I requested my money back for the plushies but looks like I’ll be going through my bank to get the money back.

Waste of Time and Money - This was a very short tour, less than 40 minutes through a very seedy part of Old Town. Lots of bums out. The guide was more anxious to be done than we were. For an extra 7 dollars you can buy a gadget that supposedly lights up with paranormal activity but it never lit up anywhere but the bench we sat down on. The guide just kind of waved her hands at buildings with no actual story or information. Sad waste of time and money.

Do not sign up for this. You will be haunted by the horrible experience. - This was absolutely the worst ghost tour I’ve ever taken. The presenter was not prepared, and they read from a 3 x 5 card. There was no emotional ties or exciting stories that were told regarding ghost hauntings. History was good, but the complete tour was a disaster. We left after the second story.

Read script out of a notebook very boring & we could not keep our interest. - The tour guide was very inexperienced. Read the tour out of a notebook. We left the tour before it was done. Was hard to hear & stay focused. She was very boring, not a good storyteller at all.

No thank you - We were told to arrive 15 minutes early and look for someone holding a lantern wearing a specific T-shirt. That person was nowhere to be found. We tried contacting via tour, and got nowhere. We decided to leave after waiting about half an hour and request a refund. This company did not bother to reach out until 45 minutes after we had arrived, and only then they told us they would be “moving us to the 9 pm tour” (we had signed up for a pm). No options for a refund or another date were offered. Personally I find this customer service abysmal, and do not intend to patronize this company again. I understand that things happen (apparently this tour operator was stuck on the freeway), but I expect timely communication and to be given satisfactory resolution options. I have requested a full refund.
