Great ghost tour in Tampa! - My husband and I throughly enjoyed our ghost tour of Tampa. Rose Ann had a lot of information about the history of Tampa, the scandals and some ghost sightings. Even go to see the old cemetery. Fun way to learn about the area!

Fun evening walk while on vacation - Rose Ann was a wonderful hostess for our tour. She is very knowledgeable on the history of the Tampa area and it's ghosts! Unfortunately we didn't hear Rosa Rio playing her organ inside the theatre.

Made History Come Alive! - Roseanne was an exceptional storyteller who vividly brought history to life with her engaging style. She also connected effortlessly with every member of our group. She shared fascinating insights about the local ghosts and the area's rich past, making the tour both informative and memorable. It was one of the highlights of my trip, and I'm thrilled I experienced it! A "must do" if in Tampa!

The best activity of Phil & Jen’s overdue vacation!!! - Rose Ann was very knowledgeable, funny, and engaging with the entire group. We were hoping to get to go into more of the actual places but still really enjoyed Rose Ann’s stories and the historical significance of the places we were allowed to visit.

Great family experience - We had a really fun and interesting night on this tour. Our family (including a college student and a 10 year old) were all fascinated by Max’s tales. We loved learning as much (or more) about Tampa history itself as we learned about its ghosts. So glad we did it!

Fantastic History and Ghost Stories - This was a fantastic tour with so much history and fun details about many historical figures, some known, some not so much. Rose Ann was an excellent guide. The tour took us to so many great places and Rose Ann had so much to share for each location. She answered questions and really kept us all engaged…even the two teenagers we brought along. I would highly recommend this tour and would have rated it higher if I could have.

Misled by the name of the tour - Disappointed as this experience is not catered for family and kids. We had expectation of the thrilling, spooky vibe, element of surprise but it was simply a history tour. The guide is extremely knowledgeable about Tampa Bay’s criminals and interesting facts, but it was not what we imagined.
