Welcome to Connecticut

Connecticut, a New England state settled by English colonists in the 1630s, was one of the original Thirteen Colonies. With more than 600 miles of coastline including navigable rivers, the region began developing a strong maritime economy during the colonial period. Historic Atlantic seaport towns like Mystic recall this maritime heritage. The Long Island Sound region is essentially a suburb of New York City, and towns like Norwalk feature many hip restaurants and shops. New Haven, home to Yale University, offers fine architecture and excellent art museums. Warm summers, snowy winters, and lush forest lands crossed with America’s oldest hiking trails make Connecticut an outdoor sports mecca.

Jason was a great guide! The ghost stories were very captivating especially in the graveyard setting. We had wonderful weather and unexpected creepy animal sounds to add to the eerie atmosphere. Thanks for a fun night!

My teen children and I were led in a group moonlit graveyard tour by Kim, who did an excellent job telling the tales of the original settlers of Mystic. She really “brought them to life” (haha ) in her vivid and captivating descriptions. It was fun doing our own investigation of spirits with the cool equipment like the ghost hunters on TV! Thrilling all the way ! Such spooky fun, well worth it!

I highly recommend Spirits of Mystic Cocktail Pub Crawl. Our tour guide Kim was engaging and knowledgable. I have a new appreciation for the history of Mystic . So glad we added the Pub Crawl aspect to our tour! We were visiting Mystic with our business association this was the perfecy activity to do as a group, We had a lot of laughs and a few scares!

I only had a short time in New Haven and this walking tour gave me a detailed overview of the Yale Campus. I learned so much about the history of the campus and the general area surrounding. Only wish I had more to explore the interior of the buildings, Yale Art Museum, etc. The walking directions were very clear and using the app was pretty straightforward. Great value for the money
Fun, w/ a hint of confusing LOL

Fun & interactive. Not sure what the VIP package changed, so maybe avoid the up charge for that. I love chocolate cake.
Way beyond my expectations!

Drive 99 min to see this show and was completely worth it. Can’t wait to go back. Went with no expectations on a date and we had an amazing night. Performers were very professional and great intimate setting made you feel like you were part of the show. We had a great time talking with the performers after.
A Mystical Intimate experience!

Wow!! Just wow! Went into this experience not know what to expect. And I was blown away! The style and intimacy of the show is unmatched and leaves you wanting to see more. Its constant excitement from start to finish! Every dancer performs at such a high level! At the end you even get to meet most of them to hear what it is like behind the scenes and the stories of having dancers from all over the world! World class, must see show! I'll be back!

I was skeptical on how much fun my 9 and 10 year old could have. We could not have had more fun. Running up and down the streets, reading the clues, finding landmarks, taking pictures, doing silly challenges - they had a blast and want to do it again.Our guide Matt was awesome - answering questions - super responsive the whole time. You communicate via the app and over text and we never waited more than 5 seconds for a response.Well worth it.
