Downtown Mystic Ghost Tour

Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Well organized. Some misunderstanding at the end between guides and local residents.

Hi Penny! Thank you so much for your review! We're so glad you had a great time with our guides and that you love history. Our apologies for the misunderstanding as you so eloquently put it! There's a new aggressive individual in town who has been instigating our team a bit as he doesn't like the tours being nearby however we are working hard to accommodate the requests of locals while still ensuring our guests have the best experience possible and see as much of our beautiful and spooky town as we can show! We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused by this.

We really enjoyed our tour. Evan was an excellent guide. The tour was entertaining and educational - Evan's vocabulary and local knowledge was truly impressive. I will be reading up on these amazing true stories. Thank you very much!

For the most part, I enjoyed the tour, and finding out more about the town.... however, the tour was entirely overbooked... there were so many people on the tour that we couldn't even hear the guide's stories most of the time, plus she didn't even wait for the group to assemble before she started talking and so most of us missed a lot of the stories.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed learning about Mystic. We understand that it felt crowded but assure you our tour group on this evening was a little over half full so plenty of space was available and we weren't overbooked. Downtown Mystic is such a busy and heavy trafficked town on summer weekends so it can feel crowded sometimes with all the folks around. We recommend the graveyard tour for folks wanting a more intimate experience without that! As for the volume and timing, we will absolutely be able to remedy these issues with our voice amplifier and some longer pauses and will let the team know of your concern. Thank you for visiting us!
