Always a great time!
We have done this tour twice now and we enjoyed more even the second time. The value of information and experience you get is better than other city tours we have done in new places over the years. We are locals and I'm sure we will do this tour again. It's a great mix of some time to explore some cool buildings and amazing historical facts.
Operator response
Thank you for coming back to see us! And for the kind review. Hopefully we will see you again soon.

One of the best ever!
This was absolutely amazing! So much history and we actually went inside two of the most haunted locations in the city. Our tour guide Steve did an incredible job. I have been on haunted tours all over the world and this was one of the best!
Operator response
Wow! What a great compliment. We are so proud to be one of the best tours in The US. Come back and see us anytime. We are available year round.

Great Tour and Can't Wait To Go Again
Steve was an EXCELLENT guide! His story telling skills and knowledge of the history of Tampa was amazing. It really added to the tour being able to go inside of the buildings. My EMF meter went off several times to red walking around and especially in the theater. Steve also gave us advice on where to take videos and pictures. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and would HIGHLY recommend Steve. It was a very enjoyable evening. Steve was also very thoughtful to make sure we knew how to get back to our cars and July 4th evening was a little crazy in Ybor. Thank You Steve!
