Fun Group Tour with Russell! - Friends and I (10 of us total) did a private tour with Russell. Russell was incredibly friendly, engaging and theatrical. While our group can be a bit easily distracted at times, Russell let us have some fun while also keeping the tour on target. It lasted just under an hour and a half and Russell kept us engaged the entire time and even laughed at our shenanigans. Russell had a script with him, which he never even had to refer to - he is a wonderful actor and knew his lines well! Russell presented as knowledgeable about the information he was providing and remained engaged with our group and our comments and questions. This was a fun experience to do with friends and learn some history and spooky-fun facts about our city!1

Entertaining Evening Stroll in Albany - This adventure was so much fun! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. He told stories of many ghost sightings in dramatic flair. It was a wonderful evening stroll through downtown Albany.

Ghosts of Albany - We did a private ghost tour with our guide Russell who was very informative and, as an actor himself, charismatic. He was also very generous and offered to take pictures of us during any of the stops we made. It was a fun walk through beautiful Albany while learning about its haunted past. Thank you Russell!

Really interesting, and fun outing! - Jared was great! Still on script because he’s still new, but he was captivating in his reading and story telling. I enjoyed seeing the city at nighttime and hearing the tales of the haunted Capital buildings! We had a great time! Nice to see lots of other people on tour with us!

Ghostly good time! - Jared led our group on a chilly, damp October evening. Perfect night!! Jared was very good. He is still learning the script, as a relatively new tour leader. But his delivery was very good! Nice guy and a fun walk.

Okay - The ghosts of Albany tour was okay, it was a cool crispy night to walk around and it felt spooky outside. I thought the tour was going to be an hour and a half long, but was only an hour. Our tour guide Jacob was nice, he said we were his 5th tour he's given. In my opinion this tour was not really worth it for $60. (That's for two people). :/

Meh - There was conflicting information on the meeting place- one spot gave one location, the email gave another. I texted and emailed the company at the scheduled time of the tour requesting a refund to show I was indeed there. Got a snarky reply from company. On our way to leave we ran into the guide but the other people there for the tour left and should get their money back. Tour was fine. It was very cold out and I feel the tour was shortened because of the temperature.

Canceled Tour - Tour was canceled due to a sick tour guide. Things happen to people and I hope they are well. I did wonder why the agency didn't have a 2nd person, on-call, or back-up employee? Very bad for business in a tough economy. I've paid on advance and hoping to get a refund without a difficult situation. We are here for a week and the tour is only Fri. and Sat. so we are unable to even re-book. Maybe we can make it another year if the company is still going.

Would give a zero but that's not an option. - Why a zero? Because zero tour guides showed for the booking. A group of 3 and a group of 4 spent 20 minutes looking for a guide at the specified location. Even asked the hotel attendants and called the number to the hosting business; which only led to a voicemail with all 3 calls. Would not recommend wasting your time or money. Everyone is applying for refunds. You should find an experience that youll actually get to "experience"
