Great evening learning about Old Town Spring’s past and unnatural events that shape the town. Will definitely be doing this tour again.

Went on the interactive tour in Old Town Springs! It's a must if your in the area. We had a awsome time! My husband loves historical information the tour provided and I enjoy the paranormal. It was a great fit. Our tour guide was extraordinary. Will attend there other tours offered.

Doc is a super star! His tour was awesome - informative and interactive. Just enough history to give you the facts, and just enough mystery to make you want more! Highly recommend the Old Town Spring tour with Doc for a walk you won’t soon forget!

Truly had a great time. so amazing . Really felt like a spooky night . I will say this ghost tour was very worth it.

My partner and I did the Old Town Spring Ghost Tour on Sat and I have to say I was very impressed. I have lived in the spring/woodlands area my whole life and know the folklore and yet our guide Lindy was full of tons of information I did not know. It wasn't hokey either just fun, a little unnerving and informative. We even caught things on our cameras such as mist (on a clear night) a vortex and a purple orb believed to be a little girl named Isobel. I tend to be more skeptical and go on these tours because I like the history, but I have to say the things that happened on this tour were odd and unexplainable. If macabre history and a scary good time is your thing The Old Town Ghost Tour is a must.

I took the Old Town Spring and it was the funnest thing that I did in Houston area. The tour guide was very entertaining while very informative. I love the history and spookiness. If you are in the Houston/Spring area check them out.

I've done a ghost tour before, but this was my first ghost hunt. It was so fun, and was everything I didn't know it would be. Our tour guide was also so awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the history and made it fun, and he was very funny. Totally recommend the ghost hunt!

This was a great ghost tour! Me and my dad absolutely loved it. Viv/Sol was an amazing tour guide and very engaging. The stories were very interesting and I highly recommend!

We took our granddaughter for her first ghost tour and we all loved it. Definitely recommend this tour. Take your camera's and be prepared for a wonderful time. Even if you don't capture anything thing, the story telling is awesome. We can't wait to go on another one. Our granddaughter can't wait either!!

This is a fun date night activity for couples or hanging out with friends. I enjoyed myself on the tour as the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t worry, you won’t get nightmares after this, ha ha. Enjoy!

AWESOME experience! Very friendly staff who were eager to help us when we couldn't make a typical Friday or Saturday tour! Not only were there interesting and spooky stories that gave me and my friend chills, but we also captured many orbs on camera, and I even felt someone touch my leg!!! I hope I can come back and go to their other tours soon, and I strongly recommend this tour to anyone who is in for a scare! Big thank you to Doc and the rest of the staff for everything! You made my birthday better than I could've hoped for!!!

We did the ghost tour of Hermann Park, a place we visit with fair frequency. It was totally different at night, and our tour guide did a fantastic job of balancing spooky stories with humor. He was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions, and we had a wonderful time!

We had a great time on our tour. It was a lot of fun to learn the history of the town, find out about the haunts in the area, and experience it first hand. It was a great way to spend the night!

This was a awesome tour thru the memorial Herman park. The history of the location made the tour 100% better. I definitely would recommend this tour and I'm looking into the Galveston ghost tour. I hope the outcome is as great!
