Great Night
Tai was fantastic they knew their stuff and made it a blast for just my partner and me. We built a fun rapport and enjoyed a leisurely stroll joking and learning.

Mildly entertaining
We enjoyed seeing all the beautiful houses. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The stories were interesting, but overall a little underwhelming.

We also appreciate your honest feedback that the tour didn't feel as immersive as you had hoped. Please email your booking ID to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com, and we'll share your comments with our management team so they can review your experience and work toward a resolution.

Great tour guide
I had a great time. I really hate how this system hounds you to review stuff with minimum content so they are getting my opinion. The tour guide is great, went above and beyond in a rainstorm to keep me entertained. But this app, viator sucks. It just relentlessly messages you to review when they already have tons of reviews. They say it will only take a minute but they lie. They do not reward you for a task that inly benefits them. I’m sick of it and will think twice about using viator again. I hate being guilted into endless reviews.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sticking with the review and for sharing such thoughtful feedback, Catherine. We're so happy to know your guide made the experience worthwhile despite the rain, and we'll be sure to recognize them for their excellent work. We understand your concerns about the review reminders from the booking platform. Although those messages aren't sent by our team, we truly appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience. Hope to see you again soon!

Interesting history
It was interesting! I think it’s more the history of St. Paul, but it was nice having a tour guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review, Brittany! We're glad you enjoyed learning about the history of St. Paul and appreciated having a guide to bring the stories to life. The city's rich past plays an important role in its haunted legends, and we're happy you found the experience enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
How much does St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Minneapolis-Saint Paul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Minneapolis-Saint Paul is not rushed.
Is St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 165 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour?
+
Around 58 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Minneapolis-Saint Paul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Minneapolis-Saint Paul and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St Paul Ghost Tours: Sinister Sins & Shadows Ghost Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Minneapolis-Saint Paul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
The Twin Cities cover Mississippi mill district history, chain of lakes bike and paddle tours, Mall of America trips, brewery crawls in Northeast and winter ice experiences. Seasonal swing is extreme, so honest weather guidance matters. On Outty we rank every Minneapolis-Saint Paul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at the Mall of America, Narrated Scenic Tour on the Minneapolis Trolley, St. Paul Historic Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
June to September, with winter activities from December to February. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
