In a Famous Ghost City? Tours May Include Chains- Beware!

This website is dedicated to individually owned ghost tours, as opposed to chain ghost tours in a city. While chains of US ghost adventures and tours may do a good job on their ghost tours in the city of their origin, almost inevitably, when they choose to expand, their various new city ghost tours are put together quickly without the care and effort that goes into developing an original ghost tour. Often their ads make guests believe they are the other established company. We want to help make sure you get the quality ghost tours you intend to book! Therefore this page is to warn you about some of the chains of city ghost tours, American haunted history walks, and US ghost adventures or haunted tours that are out there, and give you the website for quality individually owned original tours instead.

Original vs. imitator- don't be fooled if you're in a famous ghost city by tours from out-of-town chains
Mass-produced products can’t match the original!

US Ghost Adventures

US Ghost Adventures goes to the most popular city ghost tours in the country, then offer copycat tours, often packaged under a name very close to the city’s original ghost tour. Why, even their name is culled from American Ghost Adventures, an individually owned tour in Orlando which has been named one of the top ghost tours in the world.

GhosTownTours

GhosTownTours operates under a number of different names, which in itself is a giveaway of a problem. Other names include 13 Ghosts Tour, Happy Guide Tours, 6th Sense Tours (NOT related to the highly acclaimed 6th Sense World), and Yes Queen! Drag Queen Pub Crawl. Their parent company is The American Tour Company, and the website they list for that company goes to a parked Wix message not connected to a website, as does ghostowntours .com.

Ghost City Tours

Ghost City Tours started in Savannah, where their now-deceased guide Nicodemus was highly acclaimed. They expanded to many different cities quickly, at times necessitating shortcuts like using material from another tour or advertising using the local tour’s name. The tour they promote most in any city typically is more expensive, sometimes MUCH more expensive, than the original acclaimed locally owned tour.
If you know the web address of the tour you’re looking for, make sure to put it in the address bar at top, not the search bar- and be aware that search engines put paid ads first, regardless of quality. If you want to get the best, always begin your search BELOW the ads.
