This place is so cool.Its a really historical interesting place to tour. It really felt haunted, and when we viewed the certain room that's supposedly haunted it gave me chest pains. Not going to lie it scared me lol. I love the way they maintained it all these years, keeping the integrity but it's still very old. I was bummed we couldn't go out to see the indoor swimming pool. I understand it's too old. I also enjoyed the museum at the very bottom. And the giant area with the open water I forget what that's called that was super creepy but cool. Highly recommend. Worth every penny! read more

I've never done this type of tour before, but we really enjoyed it and the best part is you get to enjoy the whole ship before and after. I'd recommend hitting a bar and grabbing a cocktail and walking the ship to take photos. Parking was pretty easy outside the ship we didn't have any issues at all. It wasn't too spooky and definitely family friendly. read more

My daughter and her friends went on this tour after the ghost tour was sold out. The fact that I paid $350 for five girls to walk around a boat is asinine. I mean, we believe in all of that stuff but to charge that much is really highway robbery. If it hadn't been my daughter's 16th birthday, I never would have showed out that type of dough. Never again! read more

The tour was so much fun it was so cool to get to see all the places you wouldn't normally get to experience on the Queen Mary

Booo! This fun 2-hour walking tour was both spooky and full of history. Spoiler: no paranormal activity was observed on this night! Christina was our knowledgeable & friendly guide for the evening, and her passion for the Queen Mary was obvious. As of 5/25/2023, this tour was the lengthiest of the tours offered, so even if I wasn't as interested in the haunted tales of the Queen Mary, I would have chosen this tour for its substantial opportunity to see so much of the ship. The Queen Mary recently reopened after a three-year closure due to the pandemic, which led to much-needed repairs & renovations. While some areas are not yet finished, many spaces are accessible, having been lovingly restored to their vintage art-deco glory. She is definitely a magical beauty! Boarding the Queen Mary currently seems to require a reservation, as my name was matched to a list at the ticket stand by the elevator. Since we had both a stateroom & tour reserved, we were able to arrive early, settle in to our room, wander the decks & public areas including the engine room, and enjoy cocktails in the Observation Bar, before checking in for our tour. Even then, we were a bit early so we walked around that deck & found a decadent ballroom (the Queen's Salon) that was later also part of our tour. On the tour, Christina led us all over the Queen Mary, sharing paranornal encounters that have been reported over the years, along with her own personal experience and those of her colleagues. She also juxtaposed historical facts & contemporaneous events for context & background surrounding the stories. We were able to visit most of the areas where sightings had been reported, which imcluded areas of the ship that are only accessible with a tour, like the bridge, isolation ward, swimming pool and propeller box. I highly recommend this tour! The Paranormal Walking Tour was a solid two hours, with only a couple of breaks to sit for a minute, so wear comfortable shoes & bring water. The wealth of history & fun facts about the Queen Mary were incredibly educational, and the beautiful architectural details throughout the ship were fantastic to see up-close & in-person. Note, I think our tour on a Thursday night was quite full, so plan ahead & reserve in advance. read more

Our guide, Chris, was very informative and engaging during the tour. We got to see some very interesting and exciting places around the ship and we also learned a lot of the history and such behind them which I greatly enjoyed. Overall a very good and memorable experience. read more

The tour guide was great and engaging! The tour was ok. Honestly the steam and engine tour is better. All this was is just someone telling the stories of people who thought they saw ghosts. The swimming pool is closed so you can't even go in there to see the area that was available a year ago. You can just pay to get on the ship and walk around yourself for this tour. Again, tour guide was great but do the steam and engine tour-worth it! read more

This was more fun than I anticipated it was going to be. We were able to stop by the bar before the tour started and keep our drinks with us throughout the tour which was a huge plus. The tour is supposed to be 2 hours but it was more like 2.5! I recommend it. The biggest cons were the size of the group (tours are PACKED) which detracted from the spooky ambience and how hot some of the locations are. You'll be standing in some of those locations for a while as the group takes turns entering smaller spaces. I recommend going in the colder winter months. The Queen Mary seems to have been reenergized after its pandemic closure, definitely worth a revisit if you've been years ago. read more

Boyfriend surprised me with this tour last Sunday 8pm-10pm and what an awesome experience. I love all things paranormal and love the Queen Mary, so this tour was right up my alley. Arii was our guide and she was so informative, interactive with everyone, friendly, hilarious, and really seems to love what she does. The tour is a lot of walking and going up and down stairs so a bit tough if you have issues walking, but it loops around the boat and is planned out nicely. They even give you a break in the middle and have happy hour at the bar for drinks to go for the tour so that was nice! We got to experience places that not many people get to go to so it was a really neat and fun experience and of course, spooky. No jump scares, just spooky old parts of ship and history of the actual ship with the claims of the paranormal in those areas. While we waited to view the pool area we heard weird noises below a stairwell that was blocked off and it startled some people which was funny. There was maybe 20 of us in the group, and while I wish it were a little smaller of a group, it was still great. Thanks Arii for the amazing experience and information! read more

We did the midnight, 2 hour tour and it was great. It was such a special experience to explore the ship after dark. Our tour guide Chris was phenomenal, super informative and engaging. Getting to see the inside of the pool room was my favorite part. If you're looking for something a little spooky and different to do in the area I would recommend this tour. read more

Spectacular Queen Mary. Fascinating stories and everything in between. I recommend for people to come and see.. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour!! Our tour guide Tim was absolutely amazing & has such knowledge & passion for this ship & definitely plays the role perfectly he answers ever question with interest & was very honest & upfront! The ship has so much history & has this gravitational pull of wanting to stay longer we did only stay for a day however in one day it feels like we really have been here longer thanks to the WONDERFUL staff around & throughout the ship!! We did get to enter the FAMOUS Paranormal room B340!! Everyone should definitely take advantage of your in the area to book ahead so this amazing tour!! As for the paranormal I would recommend bringing EVPs they do allow cameras and any videos to be taken! Be prepared to walk at least 2 hours or more and going up and down stairs. Have comfortable walking shoes!! If you are staying here as a hotel guest for the QM they do give a discount for all tours! Will definitely be coming back next year!! read more

This tour was awesome! Craig the tour guide did an awesome job giving the tour. It does involve a lot of walking so be prepared.

I had the most amazing tour guide named Jared. He did a great job of showing us all of the best spots on the ship and explaining the history. He was easy to talk to and made the experience really fun! Give this man a raise! read more

We had a great haunted tour guide! Roger thank you for telling us all exceptional stories and making this super fascinating. Highly recommend read more

We at 8pm and had a great time. Out your tour guide was very knowledgeable of the boats history and went into a good amount of detail on the paranormal experiences documented on the ship. The tour takes you walking all over the ship so wear walking / running shoes to be comfortable. One person in our party claims to have seen an apparition and another noticed objects moving. Would go again and see if I can experience something similar next time. read more

This was so much fun, especially if you believe in the paranormal. Our tour guide Gus was the best one - he made it the best experience and looked like he enjoyed doing the tours as well. Overall worth the ticket as you get stories, history, and potential paranormal encounters read more

We did the graveyard hours tour and quite honestly, we would have been better off exploring the ship on our own. The tour hours are 12am -2am. Our guide was Stella and I'm sure she's a lovely person, but there were several issues against her favor - like her having to compete with unaccessible routes due to Dark Harbor; us getting jump scared, quite literally due to the animatronics, splitting up our group and not knowing where to follow. At times, it felt like our guide was over the whole tour, and didnt want to be there. It felt like a very disorganized tour that robbed us of our money ($90/person!). And also, be aware that even though the confirmation email with instructions will highly emphasize that people who are under the influence, will not be accepted to participate, that is a complete LIE. There were drunk, obnoxious people in the group, which truly added more frustration to the whole thing. Save your money. read more

I've lived in Long Beach for 6 years now and decided to come here for a date night after hearing positive things about it from friends. Craig was the best tour guide EVER. He made sure we were safe when walking through the nearly 100-year old ship. He made sure everyone was accounted for and checked in with everyone regularly. The tour lasted 2.5 hours and you get a 10 minute bio break mid way through. It was nice to be guided by Craig as I felt safe and didn't have to worry about anything - just enjoyed the ambience of this majestic ship. Craig was a wealth of knowledge when telling us about the Queen Mary's career. I felt like I was living part of history - I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thanks, Craig, for making our date night one to remember!! read more

Chris Martin is as amazing and had a lot of knowledge! It's apparent that he loves what he does.

Just a tour of the ship. No paranormal per the tour guide. Waste of money. Left half way through. Take your $120 and throw it overboard!

My fiance and I were bored on 7/5 (yesterday) and decided to book this tour at the Queen Mary at 7 PM. Our tour guide, Finn, was excellent!! He was funny and very knowledgeable about the ship's exciting history. It wasn't scary, but it was interesting. It gets really hot as you go into poorly ventilated areas of the ship and do lots of walking and climbing steps. I felt like I was boiling at certain points. That was the only con, would otherwise recommend :) read more

The tour of the Queen Mary was phenomenal. Our tour guide Craige Myres was amazing; his speech,his way of words, his way of storytelling, and guiding us through the whole journey was very very impeccable. He is definitely a great asset to your guises team and we will come back soon. Thank you. read more

I'm not giving this 1 star review NOT because of the tour because that was fine but I am giving the 1 star review because of VERY VERY poor customer service in terms of questions about the charges. I wrote many e-mails and called many times and very rarely did I get a response so the bottom line is make sure that you understand any and all charges BEFORE you click on the accept button. And please know that you will be charged for parking even though there are NO signs indicating that the lot is a paid lot! John C read more

I've seen the Queen Mary from a distance every time I've been in Long Beach but have never had the chance to go on the ship. We decided it was finally time to step aboard; We booked 2 tickets for the 7pm Queen Mary Paranormal ship walk and it was awesome! The ship looks and feels even bigger inside. Our tour guide was Craig, he had great energy and you could tell he was really passionate about the history and ghost lore tales. He made it fun along the way, we saw many parts of the ship above and below deck. Word to the wise: bring good comfortable walking shoes! It's a long tour with stairs along the way. You get happy hour prices at the bar the whole tour so you can get some great BOOze with your haunted walk. Over all great time highly recommend. Ask for Craig for your tour as he made the experience for us and our tour group! read more

Tim is a wonderful tour guide. All of the tours on this ship are amazing. The ship is breathtaking every time I see it. I wish I could go back in time and take the tour for the first time again. Even with rowdy people taking the tour, Tim kept his composure and made very appropriate jokes. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Sooooo disappointed. What was supposed to be a 2 hour tour was turned into a 2.5 hour tour so people could take half an hour in the middle to get alcohol and use the restrooms. The paranormal part was missing from the tour. Tour guide seemed to have been pulled from the "history of the ship" tour to sub in for the paranormal tour which he straight up said he didn't believe in. I am definitely a cynic but my husband is more open to the possibility of the paranormal and I thought it might be interesting. But no, so boring. Left at the halfway point. Wish there was a way to get my money back. Don't waste yours. read more

Our tour guide, Tim was absolutely awesome. He has so much knowledge about the ship's history, and stories. He said he had only been working there since March of this year, and we were astounded by the stories he told, and his delivery. He seems like an awesome fellow, and engaged our group a lot! I highly recommend him if you take this tour. read more

We took this tour and had an awesome time!! I had been to the Queen Mary a few times but this tour took us places I had not seen before with great haunted stories and history of the ship. Craig was an excellent tour guide and made the time fly by. Looking forward to going back for another tour!!! Glad to see the ship doing so well!! read more

Not worth the purchase of a ticket, didn't see anything very boring. All they did was talk, talk. We left even before it ended. The girl was new and she just didn't make it interesting at all. Definitely very disappointed. read more

We stayed on the Queen Mary over Thanksgiving last November. We're very interested in the paranormal, so of course we took the paranormal tour. It was fantastic! Our tour guide, Craig, was friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous, and we give him our highest recommendation. We also, by coincidence, stayed in the Churchill suite for 2 nights. Holy cow, was that interesting!! We can't wait to go back again soon...however, we'll definitely be staying in a different room. read more

Fantastic tour and even better tour guide Craig. He was super knowledgeable and you could tell he was very passionate about the history of the ship. The time flew by! Make sure to bring comfortable shoes and be ready to walk. Best tour I've ever taken! read more

I've been wanting to do this paranormal tour for so long and finally got the pleasure of attending last week with Craig as our tour guide! Craig made this tour so very enjoyable. He did a fantastic job giving us all the paranormal stories while also including a ton of history. All the information Craig shared with us actually let me to talking to my dad about the tour and I found out the Queen Mary brought my grandfather home from world war 2! If I do this tour again I'd love to have Craig as the tour guide for how awesome he was ! 10/10 would recommend. Quick tip: bring great walking shoes and some water. It's a ton of stairs and walking as it's a 2.5 tour! read more
