Probably skip this tour

The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to. He was clear in his communication so it was easy to find him, and the tour started right on time. The highlight was certainly the first stop of the tour, a cute bar called In Plain Sight. However, the tour was lacking in content and the guide hadn’t quite mastered all of the material. We only visited three bars/pubs and the tour ended well before the two-hour mark. Overall, not the experience we hoped for.

Operator response

Hello Lindsey, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the guide was friendly, easy to communicate with, and that the tour started on time, and that you enjoyed the stop at In Plain Sight. We’re sorry to hear the overall experience felt lacking in content and shorter than expected. It’s unfortunate to hear this was not up to our normal standards, as we are used to receiving great feedback from our guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please reach out to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com with your booking information so our team can look into this further and assist you directly. Thank you.
