Welcome to the famously haunted May-Stringer House in Brooksville, Florida. Step inside, and the air shifts. Three floors brim with antiques, period rooms, but it’s not just the craftsmanship that keeps people talking. Whispers of unexplained footsteps, shadowy figures, and lingering presences have turned a simple museum visit into something far more chilling. And stories that refuse to stay neatly in the past. The house earned its reputation as the most haunted home in Florida through years of reported paranormal activity. Visitors have felt unexplained chills, heard strange sounds, and even captured odd images on their cameras.

History buffs come for the artifacts; paranormal seekers come for the possibility. Both leave with stories.

Stairs only to second level.

Lunch buffet at The Bistro in Brooksville (included) prior to our tour - assorted flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and wraps, salads.  Desserts along with soda, sweetened and unsweetened iced tea.

For thousands of years, the Nile River has carved a green ribbon through the desert of northeastern Africa, nurturing one of the world’s most remarkable civilizations. Known to ancient Egyptians as Kemet, the “black land,” the inhabitants owed their lives to the rich and dark soil, deposited along the riverbanks by the Nile’s annual flooding. The surrounding deserts, by contrast, was called Deshret, or “red land.” The fertile plains of the Nile Valley gave rise to a culture that thrived for over three and a half thousand years. Ancient Egypt remains renowned to this day for its religious beliefs, complex society, monumental architecture, and enduring arts and culture. Mysteries of the Nile is the first exhibition in Tampa dedicated to the art and artifacts of ancient Egypt. The gallery display explores themes related to the power of pharaohs, the worship of gods, aspects of daily life, and beliefs about the afterlife —thus offering insight into this mysteriouscivilization along the Nile.

You’ll enjoy a guided tour, followed by time to explore the museum on your own.

LUNCH stop after the museum (OYO) at Brandon Exchange (Town Center Mall) The Cheesecake Factory, Bahama Breeze, Red Robin, P.F. Chang’s and many choices at the Food Court.

Ybor City has more gangland haunts and hangouts than any other part of the city, and appropriately so, since it was where the bolita syndicate started and ran their operations for most of the early years of Tampa’s history.

Scott M. Deitche, author of 5 books on the mob including Cigar City Mafia and The Silent Don: The Criminal Underworld of Santo Trafficante Jr., will lead an hour and a half long jaunt through Tampa’s Mafia history. The tour will take you to old gambling palaces, street corners and alleys where some mobsters met their demise, and restaurants where wise guys like famed boss Santo Trafficante Jr. held court. Santo Trafficante, Jr. succeeded his father as the boss of Tampa and ruled his family with an iron fist. Despite numerous stunted ambitions, he was regarded as one of the most powerful mob bosses of the American Mafia. Trafficante was known to have been deeply involved in the CIA efforts to involve the underworld in assassination attempts on Fidel Castro and was called to testify before members of the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations investigating possible links between Lee Harvey Oswald and anti-Castro Cubans, including the theory that Castro had President John F. Kennedy killed in retaliation for the CIA's attempts to assassinate Castro.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind walk through Tampa’s most storied neighborhood. They guarantee you will never look at Ybor City the same way again.                    

After the tour, enjoy lunch on your own at one of the many restaurants in Ybor City.
