A must do-but don’t invite the spirits home with you. - This was an absolute must do experience. Our tour guide Steve was PHENOMENAL. The history was fantastic but the creepiness was even better. Take pics and video (lots of them). What I captured and noticed upon reviewing was chilling.

Ybor has a ghostly history - Max is a terrific guide though the history of Ybor City making connections to how the spirit world intersects with the past. It is well worth the time with light walking around a fairly compact are of Ybor.

Steve provided an... - Steve provided an interesting and seedy history of early Ybor city. We toured several buildings where some who encountered untimely deaths, still remain. We had an awesome time with plenty of opportunities to photograph, video, and explore.

This is a Must Do for your list of adventures - Max, as always, was a phenomenal guide. He has a wealth of knowledge about each place he took us. Sharing historical facts and scary stories about the haunting of each building made this adventure truly unique.

A blast from the past with a hint of madness! - If you're visiting Ybor City and want an experience that’s unforgettable, you have to take the ghost tour with Max Herman. My family and I just did it tonight and it was absolutely incredible. Max isn’t just a tour guide — he’s a storyteller, historian, and entertainer all in one. From the moment the tour started, he had everyone completely locked in. The way he brings Ybor City’s history and ghost stories to life is something special. You’re not just hearing facts… you’re stepping into the past. What really sets Max apart is the passion he has for the city and the stories behind it. Every stop on the tour felt authentic, detailed, and honestly a little chilling in the best way possible. You can tell he’s done the research and genuinely loves sharing these stories with people. The tour was the perfect mix of history, mystery, and fun. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you’ll walk away fascinated by the hidden side of Ybor City. And if you’re lucky, you might even experience something unexplained. 👻 Max also has a natural way of connecting with people — funny, engaging, and welcoming. By the end of the night it didn’t feel like we had just taken a tour; it felt like we had shared an experience with a great storyteller and guide. If you’re in Tampa or anywhere near Ybor City, do not miss this tour. It’s one of the best local experiences you can have. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Highly recommended. Thanks again Max for an amazing night. We'll definitely be back! 👻✨

Great tour - Steve was a great guide making the tour historically interesting and fun. Gave us enough time to explore the nooks and crannies of the spaces - hunting in the Cuban Club was awesome!

Best night with the Ghosts of Ybor! - We had the BEST ghost tour possible with guide, Max Herman. It also turned into a personal tour due to a cancellation. We visited 3 sites - Centro Español, Don Vicente de Ybor and the Círculo Cubano (Cuban club) - with Max who grew up in the area. He shared his wealth of knowledge of the history and legends along with some personal stories. The Cuban club was the most active that night. We heard some odd sounds, picked up EMF readings (Max shares some of his equipment) and with my new Phasm night vision camera, I caught an odd image in the theatre and a loud sigh in the lobby area. I highly recommend this tour as a must when visiting Ybor City and cannot wait to take the tour again.

Awesome! - Went with Steven (Stephen)..if I could give more than 5 stars I would.The three of us agree that this was the best ghost/historical tour we ever experienced.His personality, knowledge, passion for the history and access to the interior of properties was exclusive. My sister even verified per her camera that there were true paranormal phenomenon going on. We would do this again and highly recommend Steven and this tour.

Best ghost hunt!! - Our guide Steve was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and passionate with his history, and it made for a very enjoyable tour. We got access inside buildings to ghost hunt, that are normally closed to public, so that was awesome. I would highly recommend this ghost tour!
