Ghosts of Marietta — Local services in Marietta

We went on the trolly tour and it was unfortunately a disappointing experience. Instead of a trolly, it was a bus. And the bus had no Halloween decorations, the AC was blasting so it was hard to hear the tour guide, and the driver was very indecisive about where he was going… my suggestions to make it better would be to visit more of the houses in the historic district and tell more chilling, haunting stories like the ones on the walking tour. OR, go to at least 3 cemeteries (we stopped by one and drove by another) and give detailed stories of more hauntings. Perhaps make it more of a “CEMETERY TOUR” with flashlights that go to the different locations if you’re not going to invest in an actual trolly. HOWEVER, the tour guide was good, but she could have dressed up or at least tried to act more spooky to give it more of a Halloween feel. I feel like our experience was their “dress rehearsal” and was definitely overpriced for what we got. I’ve done the walking tour before (twice) and it’s ten...

Shea was absolutely amazing! She was so energetic and informative the entire tour! Being that my boyfriend and I are Florida natives, it was very interesting to learn about the ghosts of Marietta. We were attentive 100% of the time because Shea is a natural and graduated as a theater student. We went at the peak of fall season so it was 40 degrees outside but that didn’t stop Shea from being an awesome tour guide. It’s really what you make it. My boyfriend and I just wanted to do something different and it’s always about the experience for us. I hope Shea’s boss sees this. She’s great! Wonderful personality and I can’t express that enough.

I should’ve said this first — this is a family/kid-friendly tour. It’s about the “Ghosts of Marietta.” It’s not scary and you won’t actually “see” ghosts, rather be informed about the history and ghost stories...

There is nothing scary about this waste of time. This tour is a very long and tremendously boring history lesson by some very enthusiastic young moron. The bus is crammed full and uncomfortably hot. When you're not riding the hell shuttle, by no means do I intend "hell" to represent any horrifying ghost encounter like experience, you will be walking. You actually walk way more than you ride. There is no investigation of supposed haunted sites. They walk you in front of a structure and the young man bellows out a long wind filled with theatrics about what once was way back when. When this horrible history lesson is finally over, you depart the bus whilst being stared down by the driver and "guide" as if the expect a tip on top of the horrible experience that you already wasted good time...
