We expected a little more and were rather disappointed in this tour. It's basically a walk in the dark with an oral history of the tour guide's family along the way. He seems a nice enough guy but we didn't pay twenty dollars a head to hear anecdotes from a local resident. I really can't recommend this tour as a 'ghost' tour. Its nice to walk through town but you can do that for free.

We did the Nantucket Ghost Walk on Friday 10/24/2008. It took about an hour and a half and was entertaining. Having been in Nantucket all week, we got a little education on the different houses and streets, with tales of hauntings thrown in. A nice night and dinner plans for after the walk added to the enjoyment of the whole thing. We'd go again if we revisit Nantucket.

For years we had been doing ghost tours on Nantucket and for years we were disappointed until one man came along and stood at the top of main Street and wore a black top hat and cape. At first, when we saw him, we thought that he might be cheesy and strange, but found ourselves taking a chance one night. I have no other way to say this, but in the four years Will was in business and was entertaining us, we always loved coming back to see him and hear his storytelling. (He is not the tour listed here) and it is a complete shame to see he's out of business. He surpassed the previous owner of this listing in excitement and entertainment value, and when the next "owner" of this listing came about, he left her in the dust as well. Now they are both gone, and I can understand why. Summer Nantucketers can be cruel and when it came to both these tours, they were so unnecessarially. The taunting, the jeering and the rude and obnoxious nature of the wealthy summertime throngs made the prejudice against them, no doubt, unbearable for both tours. Now that they are both gone, Nantucket has lost a vital piece of summertime entertainment, and I will miss the competitor to this listing far more than I will miss the ghost walk. I still wear my Haunted Hike shirt with pride and still leaf through Will's book at least once a year. The ghost walk is gone, and the Haunted Hike is as well. But no matter who attempt to try to take the place of either, nobody can hold a flame to the guy in the top hat.

I went on both tours as well, the ghost walk about two or three years ago and the Haunted Hike this year, and let me tell you what an improvement the Haunted hike is over the ghost walk. Not only does this guy, Will I think his name was, tell a great story, but he does it with such character and flamboyance that he kept my attention. The other guy never did that. he had no costume, no story other than that out of a book and talked like he was bored with what he was doing. After doing the Haunted Hike, I even bought a T-shirt! That was how impressed I was with it.
