Fun Ghost Tour but Short and Sweet

The tour guide was new, so I hate to be too harsh, but there’s certain suspense and vocal inflections you need when telling ghost stories that was a bit lacking. It was also hard to hear with all of the vehicles blasting Mexican music (not her fault). And the tour was advertised to last an hour, and barely lasted 45 min. It wasn’t a bad ghost tour, just average.
Very boring. Left 1/2 way...

Very boring. Left 1/2 way through along with several other people. Could not hear her most of the time.

If you’ve been on other ghost tours, this is mediocre. The tour guide needs a script and needs to know more Stockyard history. I felt like she was making things up on the fly.
Fun Evening

I loved the Cowtown Ghosts Tour. Our guide Spookie was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable, telling us about the ghosts that inhabited the Stockyards. We caught glimpses of some of these ghosts & apparitions in the windows of the buildings. It was very enjoyable & I highly recommend it.
Not the scariest night

Unfortunately this didn't hit the mark. Other tours I've been on have been informative and the guides were good story tellers. This was not one of those guides. It was confusing, and difficult to follow her. Several of us couldn't understand her at all. We started a few minutes early and it was to last one hour. After being on the tour for one hour we still hadn't hit all of the stops. She then said that we were on the "extended" tour, which is not what we signed up for. Overall very disappointing.

We took the Wicked Fort Worth Ghost Tour with Johnny. We learned some of the unpleasant history of the Fort Worth Stockyards and about the ghosts that haunt the area. Johnny was a great tour guide. We got to see areas of the Stockyards that we hadn't seen before. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to go into any of the haunted buildings. Nonetheless, it was a good a good tour.
Had a great time!

We had a great tour with Julia (who did amazing on her first tour) and Hannah. We loved the stories about the different venues and their hauntings, including the hotel that we’re staying in tonight! There was just the right about of walking involved. It wasn’t strenuous, and it was really informative and fun. Would definitely recommend.
