Lots of fun for the family...even in the rain - The night we did the walking ghost tour it was raining pretty steady. However, our tour guide Sarah made the best of it. She told us a lot of fun, spooky stories and found several dry inside spots along the way. She was really friendly and a great story teller. We all enjoyed it and learned some new things about Annapolis history, as well as hearing the cool ghost stories! I highly recommend the tour and don't give up if the weather isn't perfect.

Very entertaining and informative - We went with a group that was equal parts skeptic and equal part believer. We were all entertained by our guide Sarah. She was an excellent story teller. We learned a lot of history of the town. We went into one of the spots that see visited on the tour later and everyone who worked their confirmed that the place is haunted.

Super fun and super spooky! - We loved our tour!! Our guide Mary was excellent with her storytelling and took us to extra spots even though our tour time was technically over. We highly recommend this tour and will be trying out the other tours/activities they offer next time we’re in Annapolis.

cheesy and boring! - What a better thing to do on Halloween then a Ghost tour of Annapolis. I was excited to do this but was TERRIBLY let down. We started about 10-15 minutes late for an unknown reason. Halloween was a nice night but was windy and was expecting late rain, late as in an overlap with the tour. With this said why start so late? The guide was energetic but very cheesy/awkward with stories and directions and over all comments. The stories were not all that scary or even over the top informative and I struggled to stay focused. The route was cool and some of the old houses were a neat place to see. Once we were at the last stop it began to rain so we jogged/ran to an indoor market to finish the story/talk and then she ended the event and left. We did not finish where we began and there was no help/direction to get back there. So an out of towner not good with this area we were forced to wander in the rain to find the start and out car. I have travelled a lot and every time I can I take a ghost tour. With that said this was by far the worst one I have ever been on, boring, not very informative with back story and the guide must have said "you know" and "and uh" 250 times each as she seemed to stumble through some of the stories! I wish I would have used another company.

Ghost tour - Mary talked too much and used lots of foul language including the F…. Word. It was awful. She didn’t know when to take photos or if we should. We only made 4 stops in 90 minutes and she kept talking about going to bars afterwards

Lacklustre and un-engaging - I was really excited for the tour but from the very start I found it disappointing. While the guide knew her stories, she told them without interest or enthusiasm, and her delivery made it feel like she was simply going through the motions, instead of trying to connect to her audience and give them an enjoyable, authentic and haunting experience. The ghost stories themselves were fine, and had some potential, but they really felt disconnected from the locations and the city as a result of the dull delivery. Just a really disappointing evening.

PICK ONE OF THE OTHER TOURS - Tour started late because the guide was "waiting for two more groups," who never showed up. We had cut our dinner short so that we would be on time for the tour, then ended up standing around waiting for people who were not considerate enough to be on time. Multiple people objected to waiting around past the tour start time, but the employees wouldn't get the tour started, and said that they couldn't say if we would get our money refunded decided not to wait- we'd have to contact the customer support line. One group left- we should have. It was a lousy and over priced tour, running loose with historical facts and admittedly not even caring about the accuracy of facts. We've been on a lot of ghost tours (close to 30), and this was in the bottom 2. There are 3 ghost tour companies in Annapolis: DON'T CHOSE THIS ONE.
