The tour guide is an active member of the community so he really knows his history. Most ghost tours have you walk around to sites and tell you stories that lead to ghost. This tour does that then they actually take you inside the place and give you EMF detectors and send you out to find ghost. That was a... More

My husband and I took our 13 year old daughter and her friend on the tour the Saturday before Easter. It was the best tour we have been on! The history lesson is so fascinating. Even my daughter said she would have enjoyed the tour just for the history. But it was so cool to take the meters into the... More

My husband and I have been on a number of ghost tours throughout the US and in Europe. This was definitely one of the best ones we've been on. We were the only ones on the tour and Greg had said it would likely take about 75 minutes. Instead, our tour lasted for 2 hours and 15 minutes. We had... More

It starts off a little slow, but ends up a blast. I really loved this tour as did my great-aunt. Our tour guide, Joe, was fantastic. I highly suggest this tour as a fun way to get to know the history and the ghosts of Ybor City.

Our guide, Joe Howden, called several hours before our tour was scheduled (8 PM on 2/27) and told my son and me of several cancellations, leaving only the two of us still scheduled. I prepared myself for him to cancel our much anticipated tour, but instead he eagerly agreed to keep our appointment. And I am SO thankful he did.... More

This tour was like going to a good party, yet getting stuck in a boring one-sided conversation. For two hours. The tour guide was a nice guy and a good storyteller, but the information was so detail-laden it was tedious to listen. The tour began standing outside a building and listening to a description of the floorplan. The story of... More

This was my 2nd time taking the tour and it was just as much fun as the 1st time. The tour guide (Greg) was extremely knowledgeable about the historic area. Don't expect any hokey theatrics...this is the real deal. They don't try to convince you that ghosts exist. They just want you to experience things for yourself. This tour will... More

Having been on a few great ghost tours around the country, my expectations were high for the Ybor City Ghost tour. This tour exceeded my expectations by a mile. Unlike other tours that are led by actors with little real emotional connection to the stories they tell, this tour led my Joe Howden, a long time Ybor resident, activist and... More
