I always looks for the ghost tour when I travel and this one is up there with one of my favorites so far! The guide was fantastic and a great storyteller! I learned so much about the area, and even got some tips on what else to do on my trip.

My family and I went on a tour during Halloween and we had so much fun! My aunt has always said that she doesn't believe in ghosts so we drug her along with us and now she won't stop talking about how much she love it!! The guide was great!

Super disappointing. This was not the tour that was described online. I picked a kid free tour, there were kids. Our tour guide was maybe 20 years old and didn’t really seem to know what he was talking about. The tour wasn’t scary, we just stood outside buildings while the tour guide talked for 20 minutes for each stop, which was honestly awful. There were no costumes, no scary experiences. Disappointing all around. And Viator will not refund my money.

Guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to love his job. The group was a little large, but the guide still did a good job. The guide did a good job of introducing historical facts with good humor.

The tour guides were late and the first tour guide, which was our tour guide had over 40 people or more waiting. The gentleman with the Lateran came later and took half of the group. No one had ghost tour shirts and only one person with a Lateran. Our guide was great.

This was a great tour. I was in the area for work and was excited to get a ghost tour in with some coworkers while we were there. I learned several thing about the area I didn’t know and the tour route was an easy walk. Our guide was very friendly and engaging.

They ditched us-1 minute late. We came from out of town but were able to park on corner they met...the place was deserted.

I can't speak to the tour, our guide had a last minute medical emergency. But the company refunded our money and gave us a complimentary reschedule! Very good business practice-- looking forward to the actual tour!

We booked this tour last minute and it was so much fun! We had Nicholas as a tour guide, who is an Alexandria native and knew the stories really well. A really fun tour that was a good way to see Alexandria at night and hear some of the stories.

This picture looks different than what we experienced. Our tour guide was extremely theatrical. He started with his head covered, which was confusing, cheezy, and annoying. I asked him to remove his hood because I am hard of hearing. He did graciously. Alexandria is near a busy airport. Our guide would yell over the noise instead of waiting for the plane to pass. He seemed to think that it was a challenge for him and he made a point to prove that he was louder than the planes. He told the stories very theatrically, and while I love theatre, in a ghost tour, I want the locations to be the star. The guide's basic knowledge of American History was lacking. The guide did work very hard to involve everyone, which is appreciated but he was unable to read the group and adjust appropriately. He also walked backward most of the time and I spent so much time watching his feet to make sure that he didn't fall. I didn't get to look up at the buildings. I think it would be fun for young children but not for a group of adults. Better knowledge of the real history even though it isn't used in the tour, would improve the guide's presentation.
