This was by far the best ghost hunting tour we have been on. Nikki was amazing to ghost hunt with. She was very knowledgeable and brought equipment for us to use. Most tours just take you around and give you the history. Nikki let us walk around and actually investigate some locations. We had so much fun we will do it again.

We start and finish at SpookEasy Lounge, our haunted home base.
This piece of historical land in Tampa, Florida is a beautiful memorial for Jose Martí. Fun fact, Martí played a great role in the fight for a free Cuba! Learn more about Martí as we pass by his memorial!
Dive back into history as you enter into a space that once was roamed by Teddy Roosevelt himself! Use your ghost hunting equipment in and around the building to see if you capture any paranormal activity! If you chose, you can order refreshments to enjoy while you ghost hunt!
This is our haunted home base! This building is one of the most haunted buildings Ybor City has to offer.

Nikkie was our guide for the evening. She was very knowledgeable and made the evening fun. We enjoyed our time and felt like the experience was worth the price. Thank you for such a great evening!
Nikki let us know right away that it would just be my wife and I on the tour, and she was more than happy to still make it a great experience. That alone set the tone. She was super knowledgeable about the history of Ybor City, easy to talk to, and made everything feel really relaxed and personal. We’ve done ghost tours in New Orleans, St. Augustine, and Savannah, and while we’ve enjoyed all of them, this one stood out. It felt way more intimate and interactive, and honestly more of a true learning experience. I’ll also say, I tend to be a little more skeptical than my wife on these types of tours, but being able to use the tools throughout was a first for me. We used an app alongside the equipment that would speak out words as we asked questions or as Nikki was explaining different stories. At one point, Nikki mentioned a story about kids at the Spookeasy and how people often pick up words tied to that. Later on, we went back to the front of the Spookeasy on our own and tried it out. Sure enough, while we were asking questions, the phrases that came through were “I’m from here,” “Anthony,” “My baby,” and “rest in peace.” That definitely got my attention. This ended up being one of the highlights of my wife’s birthday. We went in not knowing what to expect and walked away really impressed. Would definitely recommend!
This tour was such a fun way to spend our first night in Tampa! Ybor is full of really interesting history and our guide was so knowledgeable and so kind. We were able to choose from a variety of tools and conduct our own investigations as well as participate in guide-led investigations. Starts and stops at a bar and guide provided 10% off coupons at the end of the tour :)
We LOVED our ghost tour! This was our first time. Our guide was very informative and helpful. Being able to use her paranormal equipment was a lot of fun too. We will definitely be back.
Wonderful experience. Nikki was amazing. We got to try all kinds of ghost hunting tools, experiencing several ghostly interactions. My daughter loved it! The historical portions of the tour were very interesting as well. Would definitely go back.
Nikki was amazing. Best guide ever! She was knowledgeable about Tampa history, with and without ghosts, and just lots of fun to talk to. The tour itself was a great distance around Ybor city with stops to contact spirits along the way. Best kind of spooky! Also the SpookEasy Lounge is amazing!
Very nice guide and interesting tour. The fact that it was interactive was great so we could do our own ghost hunts. We also learned a lot about the history of the place, I can recommend this tour.
Nikki was phenomenal. She made the experience so much better than other ghost tour and paranormal encounters I have done. I highly recommend this anytime you are in ybor. I will be booking another tour with her. And FYI yes I did have paranormal experience on this tour.
Nikki and Mike were AMAZING!! By far, the best ghost tour my daughter and I have been on. Lots of activity and the ghost equipment was quality. Highly recommend!!
It was so much fun. Nikki was really informative and. New so much about the area and its history and haunted history . The equipment was super fun to work with and we had some unwxpkainable crazy stuff happen.
The guide was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged throughout the tour. We even got some beers at some of the locations!
We were led by Nikki on a ghost investigation. She was awesome, very articulate and knowledgeable. She explained everything with great detail. I would definitely use her again!
Great way to learn all about Ybor history. Nicky made the experience very interesting with a lot of fun facts and ghost stories as well as sightings. Just wasn’t too interested in the paranormal tools we were instructed to use.
Nikki was awesome! She was very knowledgeable and encouraging for our personal ghost hunting. We had a very active communication session in each place we visited.
This walking ghost tour was fun and rich in historical background to make for a good night out. Our tour guide, Nikki, was fun and knowledgeable. My friends and I have been on many ghost tours before but this one was most notable! It included ghost hunting equipment to allow guests to participate and discover our own evidence of the paranormal. We were able to gain credible evidence as backed up and confirmed on multiple devices. Overall, it was a fun time and we all agreed we would do it again.
Nikki was amazing. She was super knowledgeable, and there was a lot of activity on our tour. We got to use very cool equipment and got a really interesting history lesson. We would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you Nikki!
Awesome tour and very engaging tour guide! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about the history of Ybor.
Fun ,exciting ,did a lot ghost things wore the equipment check on ghost a utility in the local neighborhoods
Great interactive tour that actually let's you use equipment. There is a small walking radius which means less walking.
I had a great time on a relaxed real ghost tour and investigation. History was heard and the allowance to use paranormal investigative tools at each sight was different from other tours I've been on. This tour was taken with a very excentric couple and Nikki, the guide did an amazing job of keeping things on topic and was very patient and informative. I booked this tour and almost canceled it because the Spookeasy Lounge isn't "my scene" at all. But the upstairs restaurant was entertaining and the cheeseburger was fantastic. If I had any critique for this tour it would be to have a better form of communication, but if you book with TripAdvisor and pay you will get your tour. And the tour will not disappoint. I plan on coming back to Tampa in the future and will plan on doing this tour again. Howevwr, If there was an option for a longer paranormal investigation with a solo or very small group for a higher price to compensate for less people I would absolutely do that tour.
Fun little ghost/history tour! We have lived in the area for years now and learned new stuff during this tour around a block or 2 of Ybor. Nikki was awesome!
It was a great tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun! We enjoyed learning about the instruments and especially liked the demonstration in the dark.
Guide was very knowledgeable sharing history and experiences. Visited many sites. Guide offered options and made sure everyone was comfortable.
This was the best ghost tour I’ve ever been on, and I’ve done quite a few - including St. Augustine and NOLA! Nikki and her friends were so knowledgeable, kind, and engaging throughout the entire tour. It was so cool to be able to interact with the spirits through the paranormal equipment while getting history lessons from Nikki. Also, the Spookeasy Lounge is a really cool spot! You get free cover and 10% off drinks after the tour! 10/10 experience. Thank you Nikki & friends!
What a fun night! Our guides, Nikki and her team, were amazing! Not only did we get a great oral history of the area, we also had some close encounters of the spooky kind. We appreciate that Nikki communicated with us early to ensure we had options when rain was forecasted in the area. She offer us the option to chance it, reschedule, or cancel (with a full refund). We obviously decided to chance it and so glad we did. Further, we had someone in our group in a mobility scooter. Nikki and her team were so accommodating and made sure we took easy paths, very few uneven spaces, and was always looking out for our safety and comfort. We really appreciated their level of care. Listen, I don’t know what kind of person you are as far as what you find valuable and enjoyable but we thought our evening was top notch in both categories, from start to finish. We would recommend this tour time and again!
Nicki and Mike were very attentive and knowledgeable about the history of Ybor City and the surrounding area. Nicki has had a lot of experience with the spirts that haunt the neighborhoods and it shows on the tour. It was very scary and the spook easy lounge is great and a must see. The tour ended up in a scary place and who knew Tampa was so connected to the spirit world. Thanks for a great time.
Nikki was very friendly and knowledgeable on the history of Ybor. Recommend for all your spooky needs.
So much fun and so informative. If you love all things spooky I definitely recommend!! Me and my boyfriend had a blast and loved our tour guide!
The tour guide is phenomenal. Very friendly an knowledgeable. They give you paranormal equipment to use during the tour. Definitely worth the money.
The locations were incredible, there was activity in a few of the places we went to! We headed over to a little hidden area we were told about, and we got so much activity there! It was awesome. The guide/guide's coworkers who tagged along contributed to a lot to both the interesting history of the area and the general atmosphere of the tour. Its not some bogus, over the top paranormal tour where you know everything is exaggerated or faked. We got to go off on our own at locations to hunt ourselves. Super awesome!!!
The two guides (Nikki and Mike) were amazing. Such a good time! Been a long time since have participated in any kind of tourist activity that was actually fun and exciting.
This ghost tour is was amazing. I went with my boyfriend and we had a great time . I loved learning about the history of the city and she gets into really great detail about specific buildings and areas . You get your own equipment to use and we had a lot of activity. I think it’s a unique experience and different from other ghost tours you would go to .
For a first time ghost tour for me it was an amazing time. Her crew were amazing and knowledgeable. The history about all the sites were very interesting too! Equipment was nice to see and handle.
The historical sites we were brought to were amazing!! We didn’t get much paranormal activity, but our tour guide, Nikki (I’m sorry if I spelt your name wrong) was absolutely fantastic at telling us about the historic as well as paranormal histories of the several landmarks we visited. I highly suggest going, even if you don’t receive much activity, it’s a very worthwhile site to be a part of. My only con of this tour is only having 2 inside location, that being the Spookeasy itself, and then the Cigar bar across the way, I would’ve preferred if more indoor locations were available since they would probably be more active, but I overall had an amazing experience. Once again, thank you Nikki/Nickie!! We had a wonderful time and I hope when I come again you’re there.
This was an AMAZING Experience! Me and my friend had a blast. Nikki and mike were very knowledgeable
I wasn't sure what to expect but glad we chose this tour. Nicky was a great guide who shared lots of information about the history of the locations & why they would be haunted. Using the equipment added something different to the tour. She took time to explain everything & allow us to investigate by ourself or with the group.
So much fun! Very informative. Great stories with an absolutely amazing story teller!! I've lived in Tampa almost my entire life and had no idea the history I had right under my nose. Getting to use the ghost detection tools really adds another layer to the experience. Best Ghost Tour in Ybor!!! I would take it a hundred times. 7 stars!
The Ghost tour was fun and informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of events that could promote paranormal activity. Hands on interactive ability to track paranormal activity with the actual tools of Ghost hunters set this tour apart from other run of the mill Ghost tours.
Had a great time. Our host, Nikki, was knowledgable and cool. We had fun playing with the ghost hunting gear and totally recommend.
Nikki was great, very informative. Overall had a great time. Enjoyed all of the stops that were outside and inside.
“Average” is the best way to describe this tour. Best part was the cider place. We left a review for that spot as well. Took another tour after this one that was much more of a ghost tour. This is more of a grab at your cash before sending you to get drinks.
Book it! The first hour is mostly outdoor stops but the stories for each stop keep you intrigued good enough until you get to the real fun. I personally enjoyed the last hour most in the indoor stops. I was able to get an alcohol cider and hunt for ghosts which was crazy neat. Got paranormal activity at every location except one.
Great time! It was very informative. Nikki knew so much information! I had no clue that Ybor had so much history. I would definitely go back again
Nikki was very informative and we experienced paranormal activity on the tour. Our tickets also provided access to The Spookeasy, where the tour began and ended.
This ybor ghost tour was so fun! I definitely recommend if you want to get into the Halloween/spooky spirit this season and enjoy learning about the morbid history of cigar factories. Our tour guide was awesome and we all had a really great time
A well-rounded tour with a couple drink stops, rich history, and ghost hunting with high quality equipment! The Spookeasy itself was spectacular with its gothic and horror themed atmosphere where we were able to do some ghost hunting over drinks! A couple spots had some great activity as well. Our tour guide Nikki was amazing! I Highly recommend this tour 😊
This tour was so fun! Nikki was a great guide- she was so knowledgeable about the history and hauntings of ybor. I def recommend. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and hydrate.
Sooo much fun! Nikki, our tour guide was super knowledgeable and I loved hearing all about Ybor's history. We had a blast using the equipment and they were higher quality than on other tours in the area. Also I have never been on a tour that had so much activity. The last stop alone is worth going for. Highly recommend!
This tour was definitely a spooky tour! If you like learning about the spooky history of Ybor and would like to experience actual paranormal activities... this is the tour to go for! We all have fun!! Nikki our tour guide did an amazing job keeping us in line.
