Tour started off a little slow for my liking but quickly had me in a choke hold. Our guide Rob was fantastic! It's like he knew the stories and Fort Worth like the back of his hand but also chit chatted with everyone in between stories like we were all friends hanging out on a Saturday night. Not sure how long he has been doing this but the man deserves a raise!

Rob was fantastic! Very informative of the area history and an amazing storyteller!
Our guide was very nice & knowledgeable, nothing bad to say about him. The haunted tour, however, was more of a history lesson & sales pitch for the businesses. Most haunted tours I've taken actually takes you into the haunted buildings. This one didn't.
Sam was great, stories were informational and fun! He had a great personality and a great conversationalist! We would definitely go on another tour with him!
This tour was so fun! Myka was the best tour guide & greeted us the moment we walked into the tavern & made us feel comfortable & welcome. She had great historic facts, was personable & made the tour feel personal & custom.
We had a great time on this tour with "Sheriff" Rob! Rob was super knowledgeable, not only on the ghost stories of the Stockyards, but on FW history in general. While the weather didn't completely cooperate (cold and windy), Rob adjusted well by having us duck into bars to hear a lot of the stories and then just hit the haunted areas for a reference. I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Rob as your guide!
Highly recommend the Boos and Booze tour with Rob! We were able tour the Stockyards, sample some drinks, and learn about ghost folklore and the general history of the area. Seriously learned so much and had a great time.
Rob was absolutely incredible extremely knowledgeable and fun on the tour. He gave such an amazing experience. We want to go again and again, could not recommend Rob more.
Rob was fantastic! Very very cool tour and Rob knew a ton of information about local history and local resident ghosts! Thank you from r a great experience Rob!y
Rob was amazing, so fun and informational! What a fun and scary tour with so many stories! Thanks so much for a great evening!
Sam was our tour guide. He is a marvellous person; this was my first ghost walk tour and I didn't even realize when the 2.5 hours ended. It was so fascinating to listen to the spooky stories and the way Sam narrated them was simple amazing. I would highly recommend doing this when in Stockyards.
Rob was very knowledgeable about the history of the stockyards. He’s a great storyteller and we had a great time on our tour.
Sheriff Rob was very knowledgeable about Ft Worth's history and provided great facts about various locations. We visited a mix of bars and other locations that had a haunted past. He avoided bars that were loud or crowded so we could hear the stories
The tour was boring, hostess wasn’t entertaining and there were too many gaps while she sat down and complained about all of her ailments.
Taylor was a great guide to all things spooky in the Fort Worth Stockyards. She was a lot of fun and had plenty of stories to tell. Great experience. I highly recommend!
Not what i expected. By the title Boos and Booze, my visions for this tour was a bunch of fun and possibly scary ghost stories (true or not i didnt care) set in the historic stockyards. What we got was a fort worth history lesson, it felt more like a school field trip. Our guild was good, no complaints about him; good job Robert! Pleaze give your guilds some fun stories, he is plenty capable of delivering them. Meeting point was kind of wonky, but your support team was very good help. Best part was when my date and I went rouge and explored a tunnel! We weren’t supposed to. Worst part: Texas in August🥵
This was the best ghost tour I have ever taken and probably my 30th tour across the States and Europe. Sam was enthusiastic and a great story teller. Sam was very detailed in the stories so you could truly understand the history behind the people that lived or frequented the Stockyards a century or so ago,
Did a ghost tour with Myka, and she was a wonderful guide/host!! 10/10, absolutely recommend this experience especially with her!
Bethy was great! Her outfit was really cute and she had a lovely personality. It was so easy to get along with her with my friends and we all had a really fun time. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of great bar recommendations that I'll be going to again. Thank you, Bethy!
My friends and I took this tour on a beautiful night in November. Our guide, Sam, was both interesting and knowledgeable. He made the experience enjoyable for all of us.
Sam did a great job! Lots of great history! I would recommend a tour with Sam to anyone visiting Fort Worth and like a guided tour through the yards.
Sam was an awesome tour guide! We learned as much about the history of the stockyards as we did about the ghost stories associated with it! Fun evening!
I have been to other ghost tours. I guess I expected more history of the town, and more concrete, better stories. It was hard to hear sometimes because of the setting. And the pubs/bars were not very appealing to get a drink. It just needs more organizing of the stops and story time.
The tour guide was pleasant, but struggled to recall engaging stories, providing lackluster details. We walked past bustling, lively bars and ended up visiting bars with hardly any patrons inside. This would have been fine if we had gone in to hear stories, but that didn't happen. We were disappointed with the ghost and crawl aspect of the tour, but found it very informative. We plan to revisit some of the recommended places.
Such a fun and fascinating adventure through the Ft Worth Stockyards! I had the best time! Sam was the best guide, you could tell he really enjoys showing us tourists around. He had great stories to tell, games to play and knew all the good drink spots to take us. This was my first time ever doing a haunted ghost tour and I would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to see the haunted side of the Stockyards. Thanks Sam for such a great experience!
In town on business and they canceled and told me at the time the tour started. It was drizzly and chilly, but it was supposed to be rain or shine. A message was left asking me if I was going to attend but hung up before completing the phone number to confirm attendance. Since it was a 1-800 with a phone tree, I couldn’t get through. I got a refund, but would have appreciated a more advance warning that it had been canceled due to a lack of attendance, prior to showing up at meeting location. I’d have been extremely frustrated if I had Ubered or drove there.
Learning about Ft. Worth history regarding the stockyards and the dealings goimg on. The store and the bank.
My wife and I had a great time. The time flew by and our tour guide Sam was well informed, fun, and helpful. The stockyards was awesome!
We had an amazing time exploring the stockyard! There was only one other couple that went along and they were great as well! Our tour guide Sam was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and a joy to hang out with! Would love to do it again! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting fort Worth!
Well, definitely more "booze" than "boos" & that's fine if you just want a pub crawl. We wanted the history & stories but seemed to spend most of the time waiting for people to get served at the 3 drinks stop. There were a few stops with some ghost-like tales but our guide seemed uncertain of them, like not willing to commit to the idea that there was a ghost involved. Only 2 stops were actually near a 'haunted' site. There were several stops with - "down the street aways is a place kinda haunted" remarks, 1 stop where half the most interesting ghost stories involved sites several miles away and 1 stop with a "any one want to share a ghostly experience you had". What? We were there to hear the guide's expertise & patter , not to have moment dominated by other tour memberswhich is what happened. There also seemed to be numerous 'chamber of commerce ' moments of telling us what else we could be doing in the area. Guide was somewhat hard to find at start, so we were late (the saloon girl attire we were told in confirmation to look for was covered with coat & she was seated in a shadowy area). Guide also seemed uncertain of her patter, especially at start, to the extent that 3 of our party commented afterward on the excessive numbers of "uhm" & "uh". We've been on several ghost tours in US & Canada - this was the most disappointing.
Taylor was amazing! The other couple/group didn’t show and she still made all of the effort just for the two of us. She took us to really cool spots, gave us some really interesting information and history, and was just generally really fun to hang out with!
We loved it! Taylor is a great guide who shared the history of the area and some types of hauntings we may encounter. Would definitely do it again!
Sam was very knowledgeable in the history of the stockyards and the ghosts who have been seen. We learned a lot but no ghost sightings. Thank you Sam for an enjoyable evening.
It was so much fun, our guide Becky was amazing and very knowledgeable. We seen saloons that we never would have found some fun local spots. Very happy with the experience, worth it!
The number of bodies that were thrown into the creek, the story about the bad luck wedding dress, walking around the stockyards with our guide telling stories and talking about the various buildings that we passed by. I enjoyed all of it. Tayler did a great job. I recommend it
This was the worst tour. So misleading! We did not go into one haunted location . She just pointed to the buildings. Took us into a few bars to get a drink which was nice. But I’m sure it was a money making thing. We left the tour at the last leg along with some others.Would love to get my 40.00 back!!! Not a ghost tour at all!!
Sam was great!! Learning the history of Fort Worth. Although the weather was inclement, the guide was very accommodating.
Taylor was great, very friendly and had wonderful info. The area was a little tough to perform in, there were Momo’s constantly cruising by with external speakers loud enough to kill fish, just touring for the heck of it. I know there’s nothing to be done for it, that’s not the fault of the Tour, but we couldn’t hear Taylor for a good portion of the tour.
Thank you Tayler for the amazing time and tour. We had a great experience and appreciate all your knowledge of the historical facts.
Highly recommended! Bethy was great! Super spooky stories and was great at adapting the tour to meet our wants and needs!
Fun learning about the history of places with a ghostly twist! The pub crawl also helped liven the time. Perfect for this time of year!
The ghost stories were great. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We went into some very interesting bars
Sam was so knowledgeable about the Stockyards history and ghost experiences. My husband and had a great time and highly recommend this tour. I even caught a pic of an orb in front of the John Wayne museum.
Great tour with lots of cool stories about the Stockyards history. Sam is a great guide. We learned a lot from him and really enjoyed the time.
Fun experience walking through the stockyards. Good pub stops with some spooky history. Great drink recommendations as well. Didn’t see any ghosts on the tour but looking back at pictures may have picked up an orb.
creepy!) and Bethy was an awesome guide! This would be cool to do in different locations. Looking forward to the next one..
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We had a relaxing evening walking around and we learned so much about the history of the area! Thank you.
Sam did and excellent work telling me all ghost stories from the Fort Worth Stockyards area and visiting the most recommended bars to have a drink. I highly recommend taking this tour when you are coming firdt time to Fort Worth like me.
Sam was the absolute best! He had so much historical knowledge and was so fun. We just really enjoyed getting to walk around and hear all the cool ghost stories while having a cocktail or two. I would recommend this tour for anyone who is looking for something different to do.
Great story teller. Interesting places to see and hear about. Good knowledge of the history. And Taylor also had a fun personality that was very warm. :) my only challenge was being able well at the cowtown coliseum stop at the picnic tables. If she looked to the other side, I couldn’t hear. So next time I would move around to better hear in that area
