- Judy R00Poor communication but fun!We arrived at the advertised location: 307 E. 2nd st. And no one was there. I called a number I got from a previous reviewer, (407)710-5816 and got a nice girl, kahlani, on the phone who stated they had relocated to: 303 w. 3rd St. I was not informed of this ahead of time. She said there was no parking at new location and we’d have to find one on street n walk to pick up the golf cart. Once I told her I had a handicapped person with me, she was nice enough to bring the golf cart to us. Also, I asked for a map of the golf cart route n she had none. She offered an online one but my phone was low on charge! Should I had know this I would have printed one at home. It’s hard to zoom in n out in your phone when the cart is moving. Aside from these inconveniences, we enjoyed the cart. We just went up n down the bricked streets n avoided the busy non bricked streets. They later texted me with instructions to drop off the golf cart at the new location n put the keys in their drop box.
- P8281JPmichaelh00Don’t bother showing up late and no shopBe careful with this place. Business is not where they say. Phone number disconnected. We were supposed to them 10 to 15 minutes before and the business was shut down. We waited for 25 minutes disconnected phone no one to calll so we left. They did show up after we left. Saw them show up while walking on the street.. use another company.
- mauldinchris8700Wonderful experienceUnfortunately we got lost trying to find the shop but a quick call to Brenda helped us find our way. She was more than gracious and helpful. She allowed us to use the employee parking lot and then took us over in one car to pick up the one we were going to use. She went above and beyond and made our short stay so enjoyable! I would highly recommend this business! We will return :-)
- Marty P00Great serviceMy wife and I rented bikes through this company. Everything online. No issues. Picked up our bikes at "Bicikleta" the next day. Bikes were awesome - Cannondale bikes. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Friendly cat on site too! Rented for 2 hours. Brought our own helmets - they do provide free of charge though. Would do this again.
- jennxxxxxxxxxxxxxx00Golf Cart Rental - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!We rented a golf cart a couple of weeks ago. I booked it at 11am on a Sunday for a 1pm rental. My party went to Sanford for lunch (The Willow Tree - the best!), and when we were dining, we started to receive text after text about our tardiness for the rental, then demands about how we need to announce ourselves 10-15 minutes out via text. It made a great lunch feel like a lot of pressure. So, I asked to cancel my reservation, assuming that I would lose a deposit, etc., not happy about it because the day was largely ruined from the incessant messaging, and was informed that I had to pay 100% for a rental I had made a couple hours prior. As much as I think a golf cart rental would be an awesome way to get around downtown Sanford, I will never, ever willing subject myself to the terrible customer service I received, again.
- Thefloridacomeback00Wow! Fantastic experience!One word for this experience - WOW! From the moment we arrived to the information center we were greeted with such warm hospitality. Our tour guide, Nancy, was so informative! She answered all of the questions that we had and more! After the 90 minutes we actually wanted more. The information was so interesting. Sanford has such a historic background and everyone should take this tour and learn all about it. Definitely recommend!

Girlfriend and I were excited about the prospect of learning more about Sanford's much talked about reputation for unusual paranormal activity, as well as said activity's historical significance. We never entered a single building during the entire 90 minute tour if not for the final ten minutes at Hollerbachs restaurant. Very rushed, amateurish, uninteresting, hot, muggy, and most importantly...not scary. Avoid. Try Ocala or St. Augustine.

We appreciate your feedback - even if you did not enjoy the experience. This feedback does give us an opportunity to address some of your expectations and those of future guests.
We do state at the beginning of every tour that we do not expect to see paranormal activity during the actual tour. Sanford Ghost Tours does not offer paranormal investigating or spectral hunting. We are a walking tour that tells stories of ghosts past and present. This was communicated on our website and during your booking process. It also states that we are a walking tour that ends with a visit to an actual haunted building. I have included the paragraph from our website.
You booked a walking tour in August in Florida. Florida offers tropical climate year round – with August being the hottest month of the year. Unfortunately, this is not something we can control.
Again, it is unfortunate that you did not enjoy your experience with Sanford Ghost Tour. We can appreciate that this tour does not satisfy the entertainment expectations of every traveler.
Here is the paragraph mentioned above:
“Dare to experience a Historical Ghost Walking Tour in Historic Downtown Sanford, Florida! During this ghost walk, prepare to be regaled with tales of old and new concerning ghostly experiences in the downtown area, culminating with a walk to an actual haunted building! You will be presented with an overview of ghostly activities by an expert guide as you walk the streets learning historical stories gathered from the people who live in Sanford themselves.

Gary, who was our tour guide, definitely knows his stuff and he told some very interesting local stories. We had a feeling that he was trying to stretch the tour by going around in circles. We could have easily done this tour in maybe 45 minutes. Instead we kept zig-zagging from spot to spot while only covering a very short distance. The intro in the shop was very long, and the end of the tour on top of the restaurant was way too long and detailed. We were sweating beneath our masks and very uncomfortable standing up there.

It was okay. I’ve been to other ghost tours around the world, and was expecting more along the lines of “dark history.” Our guide was knowledgeable about paranormal stories of the area. The tour was short, visiting about five locations, with stories collected from various town residents and backed up with historical details.

I booked a ghost tour with my son. We had such an amazing time. It was very easy to book through the website and we received clear instructions on where to meet and what to expect. The tour guide was amazing. We really enjoyed learning the history behind Sanford and the different haunted stories! Would definitely recommend!

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.

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.

We were glad we booked this tour! It was not only fun but we learned so much about the history of Sanford. It is a walking tour in Florida but definitely worth it.
