What made this ghost tour exceptional was the guide, Jovy. He was EXTREMELY enthusiastic about sharing his ghost stories and knowledge. He was very well spoken, knowledgeable, pleasant, and funny. He made the night interesting and a lot of fun. I would recommend this tour and specifically request him as your tour guide.

Had a great haunted history tour with Jovy last night. He was full of passion and knowledge about the city and all kinds of creepy fun stories. He made a point of learning everyone's name (17 people) and used them throughout the night, which was both impressive and made it feel like you were on a walk with a friend. The earbuds and receivers are a game changer--took a haunted tour with a different company earlier this year and it was a pain to try and crowd around the guide so you could hear. The earbuds were comfy and worked wonders. Highly recommend!

Stories were interesting and areas we went to covered a lot of ground, but our guide talked really fast and we had a difficult time following him. He also got a bit cheesy and overly dramatic in his emphasis of words in much of his delivery especially at the beginning which turned a lot of us off right away. As he went on, he settled into more of a straight forward storytelling mode and I noticed more people starting to reengage. Unfortunately, I missed out on chunks of the stories because he was talking fast through the info and I’m sad I don’t remember much of what we heard because of that. I also found it difficult to watch where I was walking and keep up and listen. LOVED the ear pieces though. ALL tours should use that technology. It really made a difference as we did not feel we had to be at the front and straining to hear what was going on.
