- Sacred Heart Catholic Church - Constructed in 1860, it stands as one of the oldest continuously active churches in the state. Haunted by former priests, visitors, and those who sought refuge but encountered sorrow and distress. This visit will also be from the outside.
- Hotel Flor Tampa - Once the tallest structure in Downtown Tampa, this luxurious hotel was frequented by celebrities like Clark Gable, Joe DiMaggio, and Marilyn Monroe, as well as politicians and mobsters. Today, it remains a significant historic landmark downtown. Enter with your guide and encounter the spirits who have lingered.
- Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park - Situated across from the stunning University of Tampa, this charming old park is named after a former Mayor of Tampa. It offers a perfect view of the university’s minarets. The history and hauntings of this site are truly fascinating!
- Downtown Tampa - Stroll along streets paved with bricks from ballast boats over a century ago. However, it’s the mysteries beneath the bricks that continue to haunt downtown. The tales of the Native Tribes are astonishing. Be mindful of your steps!

Great historical info! Friendly tour guide! - This was only Kyle’s second tour and he did amazing! My daughter and I were the only two in the group and it was a chilly night, yet he never rushed us or made us feel like it was a waste of time doing a tour for just two people. I would definitely recommend this to others! Great historical information!

👻 Ybor 🐓 Yes!!! - Fantastic and very well spoken guide. Steve was amazing! Despite a delay in the tour from a previous guides injury, they were willing to either reschedule me or book me on a different tour, which worked out brilliantly.

I treat to the curious! - This tour covers a good deal of Tampa history, while providing the base for insight on how ghosts presence is felt throughout downtown buildings to this day!
Our guide Roseanne has all skills and knowledge to make the tour entertaining. She linked the historic facts of the different tour stops, making it easy for me to visualize Tampa old times. Highly recommend!

Great Tour! Great Guide! Great Time! - My friend and I had a great time on this tour. Max is an engaging guide who has so many stories to share. There are secrets to the past hidden in plain sight that you would never know unless you take the tour. It's a fun adventure. I highly recommend!

Great ghost tour in Tampa! - My husband and I throughly enjoyed our ghost tour of Tampa. Rose Ann had a lot of information about the history of Tampa, the scandals and some ghost sightings. Even go to see the old cemetery. Fun way to learn about the area!

Misled by the name of the tour - Disappointed as this experience is not catered for family and kids. We had expectation of the thrilling, spooky vibe, element of surprise but it was simply a history tour. The guide is extremely knowledgeable about Tampa Bay’s criminals and interesting facts, but it was not what we imagined.
