Sanford Ghost Walking Tour

Summary: Tour guide was a great story teller. Very knowledgeable on the history in Sanford. We enjoyed our tour.

Summary: The host is very good. Lots of history and a good backstory. Made me want to learn a lot more about the area

Summary: Great way to learn more about Sanford. Not very strenuous walk. Stay in the block where you start. A few good stories to keep you up at night but not over the top for kids.

Summary: I’ve done numerous ghost tours around the country with my children, and I’m so glad that my favorite one was right here in my hometown of Sanford! Gary is an amazing storyteller, and we had such a great time. We were absolutely fascinated with all of his stories and learned so much about Sanford history. Would highly recommend to anyone! And it’s also very wheelchair accessible.

Summary: The depth of knowledge of both leaders was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We learned quite a bit about Sanford as well.

Summary: This was lots of fun and I learned a bit of history about the Native Americans and an old fort in Sanford. The ghost stories were entertaining, although we didn't actually see any. Both guides were passionate about the subject.

Summary: Gary was very informative about the towns history! We had a great time learning and conversing with him. Great date night idea!

Summary: We did the 1.5 hour walking tour of Historic Downtown Sanford and had a blast! We learned so much about the history of the town, and all of the famous people who have stayed there before. It was so interesting to see how so many old building that were covered with stucco, were being uncovered and turned into something new! Nancy was our tour guide and you could definitely tell she was passionate about the city's history. We felt very safe, everyone was wearing their masks and there was plenty of space to socially distance, while still hearing the tour guide. If you love Florida history and Sanford I definitely recommend this tour! We also rented a golf cart after the tour to explore the city. Nancy did an excellent job of letting us know where we could ride, and some of the best places to explore. We got coffee at Palates and lunch at Hollerbachs, and enjoyed strolling through the downtown market! I can't wait to go back and check out more of the breweries and distilleries!

Summary: A group of us rented a couple of carts to check out the Christmas lights and decorations on the historic homes. The rental staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The carts were clean and in good condition. I would definitely rent from them again and for sure would recommend to anyone looking to up their fun and experience in Sanford.

Summary: Our tour was on a Friday night. The walk was pretty easy, and on our version you climb a couple flights of stairs to the top floor of a busy restaurant (it’s hot up there!), but it was not too tough. The stories were fun and believable. Gary has gathered several stories from Sanford’s past, spooky and/or amusing, and was an engaging story teller. As advertised, we were not there to replicate some hokey faked ghost hunter show from Travel. We were shown the locations, explained some of the history, geography, and architecture, that frame the stories. Well worth the price of admission.
