Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Chicago River Guided Ghost Tour?

A: There’s no specific age limit, but it’s recommended for ages 12 and up since some of the stories can be a bit spooky! Younger kids are definitely welcome, but just keep in mind they might not get the full experience. Also, it could be a great bonding experience for older kids and teens who love a good scare!

Q: What should we wear for the ghost tour? Is it cold on the water?

A: It can definitely get chilly on the water, especially in the evenings! I’d recommend dressing in layers so you can adjust as needed. A light jacket or sweater is a good idea. Also, wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be boarding the boat from the Riverwalk!

Q: How do I secure a spot for the Chicago Ghost Tour and what if we need to reschedule?

A: You can book directly through the Chicago Boat Company’s website, and they have a pretty flexible rescheduling policy! Just make sure to give them at least 24 hours notice if you need to change your date. It’s a popular tour, so I’d recommend booking in advance to snag the best times!

Just did the Chicago Ghost Tour! Here’s my take!

OMG, the Chicago River Guided Ghost Tour was such a treat! We went last weekend and learned so much about the haunted history. The vibe was perfect with our drinks on board, and the stories were spine-chilling! Highly recommend it for anyone into ghosts or just looking for a unique date night. Plus, the guide was super friendly and open to questions!
