Worst experience ever. Waste of Money waste of time i wish i could get my money back. To take my god daughter somewhere else we were so exited about this. Not worth 1 penny. I got better Real Ghost stories.
Response from Host , Apr 2021
Dear Ana,
As the owner of this business, I appreciate your sharing your honest perception of your experience in this review.
In life, we cannot make many wishes come true, but in this case it is possible.
You wished for your money back?
Your wish is granted.
You will get it immediately.
Please contact me at 805 905 9019 and I will refund your money either through the Viator site if possible, or Venmo.
Talking with you on the phone will enable me to hear about your experience and understand why this happened.
Additionally, I was not your tour guide that night.
Along with refunding your money, I would like to offer you a private guided ghost tour with me the next time you are in Santa Barbara.
Again, my sincere apologies.

Best Ghost Tour!

Excellent tour! Our tour guide was very experienced in the paranormal and kept us highly engaged throughout the tour.
More ghost stories and history lesson than anything else

It was very windy and cold. Majority is outdoors. I was under the impression it would be more like a paranormal investigation but it was more like ghost stories. I did get some feelings which was cool but it was kind of a let down. It was ok for a one time thing.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
