We made the best of it - If you love pub crawls and a LITTLE history this is the tour for you. My tour guide was really kind however, the tour itself just wasn’t for me. My friend and I are avid ghost/spooky gals and honestly felt like so much was left out of the tour that could have made it so much more interesting. The bars we stopped at were great and I made new friends but it left us with no chills.

Horrible service - Don’t purchase tickets to this pub crawl , I bought tickets a month in advance only for them to offer me a refund because they overbooked, a week before the event ,

Disappointing and over priced. - Honestly, this is pretty much a rip off and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The advertisement for this experience is misleading and untrue. - There are two different meeting points listed, which generated a lot of confusion - We went to 2 bars, rather than “up to 4” (not including the brewery we met at) - the tour was ~45 min instead of 2.5 hours as advertised - there was no cup or coozie - the ghost stories felt very disconnected and disjointed I understand that things may change due to COVID but wow, don’t advertise and charge $35 a person to walk half a mile and hear some jumbled stories.

SAVE YOUR MONEY ... This tour was HORRIABLE!!!! - Tour guide was un-engaged, late to the tour (we did received a text she was going to be late I will add) had horrible body odor, seemed like she was reading from a script, very fidgety almost as though she was uncomfortable, very rarely made eye contact with anyone and was not inviting at all. Locations we were taken to were so loud you really couldn't hear her. This tour is nothing you would have expected from a Ghost tour booking. It literally is about getting a drink and listening (if you could hear) to regurgitated possible history or word of mouth stories. Deliverance of the information was not well and no reference/connection to where things or locations of what actually happened. Not worth the money spent at all!!!!! Tour notes received via email stated that you would depart from the The Driskill Hotel and return to The Driskill Hotel at the end of the tour. Our tour guide end with stating "well that is it" when we were at the Happy Chick Bar. So, my friend and I had to walk back to the The Driskill Hotel alone to order our Uber. Just not a good experience all around. Save Your Money!!!

Don’t waste your money! - Tour guide was unengaged. Took us to her friends’ venues that were loud and terrible! Couldn’t hear a thing. We left early because it was terrible!
