Our Tampa Terrors group tours give ghost aficionados and history buffs a more intimate, private, and interactive experience.
Unlike the standard tour, private groups are led by a tour guide focused on you and your group, and only your group. This allows for an experience that can be tailored to your group’s unique needs, personalities, and interests.
Inquisitive types can ask their guide as many questions as desired without feeling self-conscious. Photography enthusiasts can take the time to pause at each tour stop and snap photos to their hearts’ content. Small children can enjoy a delightfully spooky tour that is scary—but not too scary.
It goes without saying Tampa Terrors can accommodate virtually any event, age, or group size.
This is the perfect activity for field trips, corporate team building, family reunions, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, Halloween, conferences, anniversaries, conventions, graduation celebrations, Independence Day, professional networking, clubs, girls’/guys’ night out, family vacations, sports teams, wedding festivities… or just because!
With a private tour with Tampa Terrors, even regular nights can become unforgettable memories, and special occasions will be that much more special.
Booking a group tour with Tampa Terrors means your outing will be fun, factual, historical, haunted, and unlike the average group activity.
Enjoy the unexpected. Contact us today for more details on creating your private tour experience.
Field trips and educational tours to Downtown Tampa tend to involve a brisk walk through The Tampa Bay History Center or a brief stop at the Riverwalk. As both local and visiting educators can imagine, this don’t do justice to the rich history living in on Tampa Bay. Tampa Terrors will shine a light on the horrifying history in an informative, interactive format.
The tour brings students to the sites where the history of Tamp was made, like Fort Brooke, or the Tampa Theatre, but it doesn’t stop there. Through engaging, unexpected stories of real historical characters, we show them the side of these locales that isn’t in their textbooks.
For educators, the following section has answers to some frequently asked questions about your tour.
If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns about the nature of the tour, please feel free to contact us.
“Tampa Terrors” sounds unsettling. Is your tour appropriate for all students? –
Don’t let the spooky name fool you: The content of the tour is appropriate for students of all ages, grade levels, and backgrounds. We can accommodate K-12 students and college groups alike.
How can a ghost tour also be good for early grades? –
As we’re well aware of the potentially frightening nature of the Ghost Stories on the Tampa Terrors, we can adjust what stories we tell, and in what detail, for groups of smaller children.
We want your students to enjoy the tour as much as we enjoy it—not be so scared that they can’t focus.
What’s the educational value of this tour? –
Unlike the stereotypical ghost tour, our tour isn’t all scare, no substance. We cover, in detail, the historical context of every location we visit. In the interest of accuracy, the stories are also backed by research from good quality sources. We strive to balance educational content with entertainment—we don’t tell merely tall tales, but fact-based accounts.
During your tours, the guides provide the right balance between learning and excitement. They don’t lecture, nor do they over-act.
At Tampa Terrors, we share your passion for your students’ education. We want your students to leave the tour having had a great time, and a memorable one. In the process they will have learned more about our Tampa’s history, its evolution over time and the amazing city it has become today.
What about the actual stories? Is there any disturbing subject matter?
Rest assured: our tour does not cover any material more sensitive, upsetting, or disturbing in nature than what’s already discussed in most history textbooks. It is not necessary to go to great lengths to sensationalize the history of the sites on the Tampa Terrors; we find history is dramatic enough as it is.
Whether you’re an educator based in the Tampa area seeking an innovative alternative to the excursions your Tampa students might already have experienced, or a visiting educator looking for a fun, uniquely Tampanian activity to do with your students while in town, Tampa Terrors has the perfect tour experience for you.
