Couples tour and thought this would be a fun Ghost history tour of Albany. We did something similar in Charlotte, North Carolina and all had a very good time. History and ghost stories throughout. This however... was NOT the case. The man was scatter brained initially, but very nice. The stories were long winded and most of them were not about something where we were actually standing or pertaining to a building (I.e. we were standing in front of the Hilton and he was telling stories about the Hudson). At one point we were in front of the Justice building, where he told a story about Jesse Strand that took 30 min. There were kids (10-14) and were all very bored at this point. My best friend’s boyfriend fell asleep. Overall, would not recommend either for the ghost or for the history, especially at the price of $25 per person plus paying for the parking at the Hilton ($20) if you can’t find parking on the street. Skip this one.

Although we had a nice night for the tour and the buildings were beautiful to see at night, this was not an overly “ghostly” ghost tour! Lots of history but the story telling was labored and lacking of ghostly charm. Little to no crowd engagement. And, the crowd was large, maybe too large for all to hear. I work in downtown Albany and thought we would hear more about both history and intrigue about ghosts. Tour lacked excitement.

This was a very interesting event and highly recommend. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed it very much! If you're looking for something different to do, and learn something at the same time, this is it.

My husband and I took this tour just this past Sunday night, 9/30/18. Our guide was Collin. He was very knowledgeable with historical facts, but that is pretty much all we got. A history lesson. The "Ghosts" portion of the tour were few and far between. I even heard two other women on the tour with me saying at the back of the group "we want more ghosts, not history". Collin was a nice guy, but not that great of a story teller. I heard another guest say she fell asleep while we were sitting on the wall outside of the justice building listening to a really long story. The story would have been better had the guide not gone off on a tangent about something irrelevant right in the middle. Disappointed to say the least. Wish I had saved my money. Maybe other guides have more ghost stories? Even their ad says "We are positive that our tours will enchant, entertain, inform, and scare you." It informed, but that is about all it did. He also ran late and I couldn't wait for it to end.

I thought it was excellent. I've resided in the capital region all of my life and this tour was rich in local history and lore. The guide was very knowledgeable and well versed in the stories. He spoke extremely well and was engaging. I would definitely recommend doing it, especially if you like history. Not sure why some people had bad experiences. I think some people maybe expect actors to jump out at them in costumes or something of that nature. This is more of a walking tour seeing some famous landmarks in Albany and the stories and ghosts associated with them, not a haunted hayride or haunted house.

SHOULD have had a microphone or some special apparatus but this was virtually a nice walk hearing some interesting tidbits seeing beautiful buildings. We strained because buses trucks and traffic masked most of the tour. Waste of $60 for the 4 of us. Really wanted to like this.

Mildly entertaining evening for a walk in downtown Albany. Some if the information is interesting but some is speculation.

I had a good experience, visited many places despite bad and cold weather. I enjoyed dinning at Cheese factory. What a wonderful delivious food there

This tour was awful. Our guide was more interested in telling bad jokes than clearly relating facts about Albany's history and lore. I've taken tours in the past with true Albany historians that were wonderful and fun -- this was neither! I was also embarrassed to have an out-of-town guest with us. Save your money!!

We found the tour with Hattie to be a bit dull. A lot of standing around. Our guide had difficulty completing her thoughts and was often out of breath (even after standing for long periods of time between very short walks) which made what she was saying difficult to follow. She told us some cool things about the history of Albany. That was probably our favorite part. Generally, a boring tour and we couldn't wait for it to be over.

We took the Ghost Tour on Sunday October 23rd at 9:30 pm. Our tour guide Enrique was very knowledgeable and personable. He was very outgoing and didn't make anything awkward. It is more of a history lesson then a ghost tour but a lot of information is learned. Fun, Cheap activity to do in Albany!

We were in Albany for an evening and just wanted to learn more about the history of the city. We were able to join the 9:30 pm tour with the Full Moon high overhead and a little drizzle of rain coming down. Our guide, Enrique, was well versed in the history and really played out all the stories so well! The jokes were fun too. The tour is an easy walking tour, not spooky, and stops at many of the gorgeous buildings in the town center. If you are visiting the area or even just moved here, this is a fun way to learn a good amount of American history. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. I highly recommend the tour! Thanks Enrique!

We did the tour on friday night while i was on the city for business. it was a fantastic way to discover a city through that tour. Albany is a very nice city with remarquable architecture and a lot of history. Our guide , monsier collin? Knows his ghost stories and city legends and his very generous in his story telling. We loved it, Wondering if you would be able to walk the tour in this hilly city? Yes, no problem. The tour guide stop at various place long enough to catch our breath and rest. Great tour, great story telling. Lovely city. Very informative and amusing at the same time. Loved it. Definitely a yes, do it!

My wife and I took the Ghosts of Albany tour over Columbus Day Weekend. Our guide, Enrique, was a natural. He told the group he was new to the job, but he was an entertaining and informative guide. He seemed to really enjoy the job and did his best to not only tell us the stories of "old" Albany but also keep us laughing. If you are new to the Albany area, or visiting, then it's worth doing just to learn a little about the history of the city. It's an hour and a half tour but there isn't much walking involved, just a big circle around the downtown area.

Did this last Friday with my coworkers. What a fun time. The guide was knowledgeable and made this tour something to remember.
