Guide was a great story teller.
This tour was the perfect mix of Mystic history and ghostly storytelling. Jason, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and fantastic from start to finish. He added just the right amount of humor, which made the experience even better. Craig and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mystic. You will not be disappointed!
If Mystic has spirits wandering around, I’m convinced they personally approved A.J. as their official spokesperson. Our tour with Seaside Shadows Haunted History Tours LLC was the perfect blend of eerie atmosphere, sharp humor, and legit American History. A.J. tells stories like he’s lived them — vivid, engaging, and sprinkled with just the right amount of comedic sparkle. My friend and I were obsessed. We laughed, we gasped, we whispered “no way” at least ten times. We’re already counting down to our next tour. Five stars, forever and always.
The trip was quite fun and entertaining the whole way through. Kim was both fun and knowledgeable. By the end of it, I was surprised so much time had passed due to how drawn in I was. I hope I get to come back to experience one of the other tours in the future!
Jason was both knowledgeable and funny. His stories were very interesting. It was a worthwhile experience.
We enjoyed this activity. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and it’s history and his presentation was excellent
Our tour Guide Jason was awesome! He was an incredible story teller and very funny! Would recommend going on one of his tours!
This was so much fun. Amanda was a great guide, knew her local history and is a great story telling. Thank you!!!
We had a great time the experience was so much fun and educational. Our tour guide Jason was the best! 10/10 would recommend.
Sunshine was a wonderful guide, you can tell she enjoys what she does and that makes the tour all the better. The history and stories of Mystic were great to hear as I knew very little before coming here. I would be very happy to do the tour again or any other tour, but I would like to request Sunshine as the guide :)
