I had purchased 2 Groupon tickets for the June 22nd, 7 P.M., Wallingford Ghost Tour about a month or so before this date. Excitedly, I looked forward to the day that I could go on this tour with my boyfriend. Sadly, the day of the tour, I was not able to make it due to a death in the family. My cat had died. Soon afterwards, I sent Jessie an email. This is the response I got from him. Sorry! The tour tonight started at about 7:15, with the aim to not keep those who had come earlier waiting. You can reschedule to any open tour. Please let me know when you would like to reschedule. Jessie Simpson Manager Ghosts of New Haven & Wallingford So, I emailed Jessie back on 6.24 about wanting to be rescheduled, how I had tried to do this via their website, but it not being allowed as I assumed they saw my Groupon ticket as already used: Jessie, I had a Groupon voucher to use for this past Saturday's tour. Due to death in my family, I was not able to attend. I tried, but I just was not able to, and I did not think I was going to make it by 7 p.m. Am I able to somehow re-register via you since I was not able to use the Groupon voucher for Sat? I tried doing this online at your website, but it seems it does not allow it. I suppose your system sees this as used. Please advice, Heidi I then received this response from Jessie: In short, yes, the system sees the voucher code as used. If you give me the names of your entire group, however, I can manually move your reservation to another tour. You can see the availability of tours on our website. Please accept the condolences of Ghosts of New Haven & Wallingford for your loss, Jessie Simpson Manager Ghosts of New Haven & Wallingford On June 25, I emailed Jessie again about wanting to be rescheduled for the July 6th tour. Never received a response. On June 29th, I re-emailed Jessie about the status of my wish to reschedule for July 6th. Never received a response. Then, on July 5th, I get this automatic email from Ghost of New Haven: Dear Steven, Our records show that we have not received your payment of $0.00 for The Wallingford Ghost Tour - July 6, 7:00PM. Please visit View Your Payment Details to view your payment options. Sincerely, Ghosts of New Haven So, I respond to this email asking what was going on as I never heard back about being scheduled for the July 6th event. Never got a response back. I then called their # - 203-747-8BOO (8266), leave my name and number, but never get a call back. On July 6th, I get the same automatic email sent to my boyfriend, Steven, again. So, in short, this company is horrible. It outright lies to its customers about getting them rescheduled, thus their display of sympathy is clearly a lie. They disregard emails sent to them, do not return your calls, and this all just displays terrible business ethics. I probably would have been a good customer for I would have told friends to take this tour, but after being disregarded as a customer, I certainly will never again buy any Groupon tickets for an event held by a company that has been clearly depicted as "leaving much to be desired". Save your money and instead go on some ghost tours held in New York.

My son, his girlfriend, a friend and I went for the New Haven Ghost tour on Saturday June 22, 2013. We bought the tickets through Groupon for $12 each. I read Trip Advisor reviews just before walking out the door for the tour and was not expecting to like it at all, disappointed before I even got there! It did prepare me though that we do not get to go into any buildings, which is what I assumed we would be doing. There were about 25 people or so in the group led by our guide Christine. She was very nice and pretty knowledgeable despite it only being her 3rd guided tour; she did consult index cards for a few things, but who cares! She said she most often gives tours of Guilford. She told stories of how people died and why they were haunting these places. The tour took the full 90 minutes and was a nice walk. Our group tipped her $5 each and she was very appreciative, I didn't see anyone else give a tip. I grew up in New Haven and found it interesting and fun to actually walk to places, especially through Yale grounds, which I've never been through before. I would recommend it through Groupon, don't think it's worth $25.

We did the Wallingford ghost tour and were beyond disappointed. This was no ghost tour. It was more of a historical tour, and even then it was lacking. The tour was too short, poorly researched, and involved the tour guide pointing to places off in the distance and spewing random disjointed facts. The tour guide was affable, but lacked the personality and presence to conduct a proper tour. Even though we only paid half price with Groupon/Living Social tickets we still felt cheated, especially after driving an hour and a half from New York to get to Wallingford.
