| It was a very enjoyable evening. The history and stories were enlightening and very interesting. Everyone in our group said they would love to attend another tour.
Great job and we loved our guide. |

Fun and spooky

| My boyfriend and I attended this together. First, let me say he spent his Jr. High and High School and a few years beyond living in Annapolis. He even worked at one of the restrautns there on the docks. He had no clue about the history down in the historic district. He's not into history, but the way this was all presented in a fun and informal setting held his interest. Mine too! We loved the ghost/history stories of the town, and spent the rest of our time in the historic district keeping a careful watch out for unexpected folks. :-)
:Loads of fun. The drinks in the pubs should offer a better deal to the all but guaranteed clinetel on this tour tho. Prices at the pubs were outrageous...$4-5 per beer is a bit steep for domestic draft.
The guide was fun and into the tour. Overall would recommed the expreience to anyone. In fact, we've already recommended it to his parents and his sistor who live locally as well. Would love to know if gift certificates are available without specified dates. Would make great Christmas presents.... |

| The tour was okay, very factual, but not particularly haunting. Our guide was obviously knowledgeable, but a little difficult to understand. Our group ws more interested in the pub crawl/haunted experience than the in-depth history of Annapolis.
I don't think the tour was bad per se, but I do recommend being prepared for what you're getting into (e.g. lots of history, but not necessarily lots of ghost stories). |

| Tour guide was very knowledgable. Would be cool if you had some ghost hunting tools like divining rods and cameras for the people to carry. Didn't see any ghosts, but learned a lot about the Annapolis area. A good time if you don't mind walking a little, drinking, and then listening to the stories. A few people were obnoxiously drunk and really annoying, but it was fun. There was space for all of us (26?) to sit and drink at all of the bars which is impressive, as most Annapolis bars are small and overcrowded as it is. Some drink specials were offered as well.

| Very chaotic with mostly early 20's people. If you want to get the most from the stories, I recommend bypassing pub crawl and go on the walking tour. Either way Ghost of Annapolis Tours is the way to go. |

| I really enjoyed the tour and I plan to return for the walking ghost tour (minus the pub crawl). I found it extremely difficult to hear the stories over the noisy group we had and was a bit disappointed about that. Otherwise, great tour. |

Disappointed In The Way Tour Was Handled

| We have done a haunted tour walk before, this was our 1st time doing the "pub crawl". We told several of our friends how cool the walk was and talked them into getting baby sitters etc. The tour guide and I believe Mike (guy who was taking photo's) as really nice. However in the group that we were assigned there was already a group of 16 who were 1/2 drunk before the tour began and who were having a HS reunion. I admit they were having a good party time. However it really spoiled it for the rest of us. There were 8 of us. Usually these groups were 10-12 not 24. So the guide had problems getting everyones attention. Getting everyone out of a bar and into another. Not to mention we could barely hear her with all that comotion going on. Which reminds me that we didn't even begin our tour until 9:20pm as some of the HS group were lost or running late. NO one even told us anything we just kept waiting and waiting. So none the less our friends as well as Us were somewhat disappointed in our tour. If we chose to do it again we would have to make sure it was a smaller group. Of course the tour guide kept saying the groups are only like this because of Halloween. However they should expect these sort of crowds and have more guides and make the groups smaller. Hope this helps. |

| I have lived here locally for over 2 years, and the tour was great to learn some of the history of the pubs. Carolyn was a great story teller and made it very entertaining. I'm looking forward to doing the walking tour next. |

| It was a fun thing to do with your friends instead of just going and sitting at a bar. I've lived in Annapolis my whole life and I learned things that I never knew before. It was really fun and the ghost stories were really interesting. My friends and family that came with me had a wonderful time. It is something we would enjoy doing again. |
