The night we did the walking ghost tour it was raining pretty steady. However, our tour guide Sarah made the best of it. She told us a lot of fun, spooky stories and found several dry inside spots along the way. She was really friendly and a great story teller. We all enjoyed it and learned some new things about Annapolis history, as well as hearing the cool ghost stories! I highly recommend the tour and don't give up if the weather isn't perfect.
We went with a group that was equal parts skeptic and equal part believer. We were all entertained by our guide Sarah. She was an excellent story teller. We learned a lot of history of the town. We went into one of the spots that see visited on the tour later and everyone who worked their confirmed that the place is haunted.
What a better thing to do on Halloween then a Ghost tour of Annapolis. I was excited to do this but was TERRIBLY let down. We started about 10-15 minutes late for an unknown reason. Halloween was a nice night but was windy and was expecting late rain, late as in an overlap with the tour. With this said why start so late? The guide was energetic but very cheesy/awkward with stories and directions and over all comments. The stories were not all that scary or even over the top informative and I struggled to stay focused. The route was cool and some of the old houses were a neat place to see. Once we were at the last stop it began to rain so we jogged/ran to an indoor market to finish the story/talk and then she ended the event and left. We did not finish where we began and there was no help/direction to get back there. So an out of towner not good with this area we were forced to wander in the rain to find the start and out car. I have travelled a lot and every time I can I take a ghost tour. With that said this was by far the worst one I have ever been on, boring, not very informative with back story and the guide must have said "you know" and "and uh" 250 times each as she seemed to stumble through some of the stories! I wish I would have used another company.
I was really excited for the tour but from the very start I found it disappointing. While the guide knew her stories, she told them without interest or enthusiasm, and her delivery made it feel like she was simply going through the motions, instead of trying to connect to her audience and give them an enjoyable, authentic and haunting experience. The ghost stories themselves were fine, and had some potential, but they really felt disconnected from the locations and the city as a result of the dull delivery. Just a really disappointing evening.
We loved our tour!! Our guide Mary was excellent with her storytelling and took us to extra spots even though our tour time was technically over. We highly recommend this tour and will be trying out the other tours/activities they offer next time we’re in Annapolis.
