5.00This was my second haunted tour but my girlfriend has been on about a dozen. We both agreed that this tour was excellent! Our tour guide, Kim, was a wonderful story teller… super knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot and got the creeps (the best kind) a few times. We had no idea the town had the kind of history it did and she brought it to life. We highly recommend this tour… and highly recommend Kim!
great

5.00We went on a rainy day at 4pm. Small group of 7 people. Our tour guide AJ was great. He was entertaining and enthusiastic about the stories. The tour was about 2 hours long. Fittingly, when the tour ended, my group spent half an hour being lost and trying to find the car as the rain came down heavier. In our attempts to retrace our steps, we passed by Anthony J three times. It was almost spooky.
Interesting Mystic Tour

5.00My friend and I booked this tour on our first night in Mystic and we had an excellent time getting to know the town and its dark history. Our amazing guide, Kim, kept us entertained and captivated throughout the entire 1 hr, 45 min length of the tour and even showed us photos of ghost sightings afterwards. We had an awesome experience and hope to come back during the warmer months!

5.00Fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Jason, was super knowledgable, funny, & sweet. We toured the downtown area of Mystic while listening to engaging stories of the history of the area. It was a walking tour at the end of November so the weather was cold which was out of our control but we are very happy we included this in our itinerary.
Knowledgeable guides and spooky stories!

5.00Our tour guide, Kim, was exceptional, and she made the tour entertaining and spine-tingling at the same time. I'll admit that I lost some sleep over the "river monster" story! This is an excellent activity if you're interested in learning about the dark side of this quaint, little seaside town.
