Brayden was an amazing tour guide, learned so much about Phoenix history and had fun ghosting hunting! Such a fun tour, highly recommend Brayden!
Thank you so much for joining us! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time with Brayden. He does an amazing job bringing Phoenix’s history to life while making the ghost hunting experience fun and interactive. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on another haunted adventure soon!
This was my first ghost hunting tour, and I had an amazing time! Brayden was an awesome guide, and I learned so much about the history of Phoenix. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for joining us on your first ghost hunting tour—we’re thrilled you had such an amazing time! We love hearing that you enjoyed the history of Phoenix and had a few paranormal moments of your own 👻 Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
Between my hubby and me, I'm the believer and he's the skeptic, and we both thouroughly enjoyed the tour! Our tour guide Braydon (sp?) provided an EMF detector and dousing rods with explanations on how to use them, and I swear there were two locations where not only was the EMF going off but the rods were CLEARLY responding to something. :D In addition to the ghostly history, we also learned a bit about the history of the Phoenix downtown area in general, which we appreciated as this was our first visit to PHX. Really good evening walking tour. Weather was perfect too. Easy to find and lots of street parking. PS>> Would love the tour operator to please reach out to me so that I can send our guide an additional tip, serious..I was a little short of cash that night!
Thank you so much for sharing this—and we love a believer/skeptic duo enjoying the tour together! It’s always exciting when the equipment sparks those “wait… what was that?” moments 👻 We’re glad you enjoyed learning both the ghostly stories and the broader history of downtown Phoenix, especially on your first visit. Braydon will be thrilled to hear your kind words (and we’ll be sure he sees this!). As for the tip—thank you so much for even thinking of that. If you’d like, feel free to reach out to us through our website contact form and we’ll be happy to help pass it along. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again on another tour!
It was a pleasant tour for all of us. We got to use equipment and were informed of the history at each stop. Our tour guide was great.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you enjoyed the history of the warehouse district and the ghost hunting. We hope to get ghosted with you again on one of our new tours!
I had such a blast on my tour with Get Ghosted Phoenix! Nadine is very knowledgeable with the history and her storytelling was superb. My favorite part was using the equipment- EMF readers and Spirit boxes were handed out to everyone who participated in the tour and it made the tour just top notch by adding a spooky element!! We even captured some cool responses!! It was so fun learning about the dark history of notable locations in downtown phoenix and getting to try my hand at ghost hunting!! If you’re thinking of booking a tour, just do it!! You’ll have so much fun!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We are so happy you enjoyed the ghost hunting and darh history of Phoenix. We hope to ghost hunt with you again on one of our other tours!
So much fun! As Phoenix locals we had never done anything like this in town and were pleasantly surprised! We were able to use fun equipment throughout the tour and even got some ghost activity. Our guide Tim was super knowledgeable and did a great job with our large group. I had fun, learned some things and enjoyed this activity with my family. Can’t wait to come back for a different tour!
Than you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you learned some new things about Phoenix while getting ghosted by the dead! Tim is a fun and engaging guide and we are happy you enjoyed his tour. We look forward to seeing you guys again!
Not impressed….! We’ve done other Ghost tours In different cities and this one in Phoenix was hokey!! We felt it was forced ( talking to the dead ) and not real. The stories told at each spot we stopped were interesting but that was the only thing we liked. In our opinion it was a waste of a Saturday night and the money we spent!
Thanks for joining us and for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We aim to mix Phoenix’s haunted history with interactive ghost-hunting tools for a unique experience—though we understand that’s not everyone’s style. We are glad you enjoyed the stories, and appreciate you giving us a try. Wishing you all the best on your future adventures!
Our guide Tim was excellent, we had a small group so we got a very personal experience, the sites are cool, I went in skeptical but I had a great time! Don't forget to tip your guide.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We love that you enjoyed the tour, especially as a skeptic! We hope you join us again on one of our new, upcoming tours!
My husband and myself went with my coworkers last night! We had a great time! We did experience some things. We were the first group to be able to go into the railroad station! It definitely had a thick air to it! Nadine and Tim were awesome! We definitely will go back to do another ghost tour!
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour! Talk about being at the right place at the right time at the train station! We look forward to seeing you guys again!
The tour was fun. Our tour leader Ryan was excellent. It was a cool experience using the equipment to ghost hunt. Bring water bc it does get hot.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you enjoyed the ghost hunting and Ryan's fun personality! We hope to see you again on one of our new, upcoming tours!
