Very informative and spooky - The tour guide (forgot his name but had a cane) was very informative and passionate. He also had pictures, videos, and devices for us to use to detect paranormal activity. I would definitely recommend him and this tour to anyone who is into this who comes to Gatlinburg.

Great Tour - My wife and I had a great time. Our guide knew the history, and even provided some back story to the spots that we visited. Definitely worth the money, and we will be scheduling another tour in the Spring.

A great addition to the itinerary, even for the history - We had a great time with our tour guide and I appreciated the passion he had for the paranormal. You could tell he was just as excited as we were to learn more, despite he probably has told the stories over and over again, he still was genuinely enthusiastic. Loved using the equipment too!

Fun and I felt something really cold. - It was the best I had ever seen and you could understand the tour guide. And the bear was really cool too when he came out to get a trash bag.

Hauntingly good - When we arrived we were handed our ghost hunting tools and we were off. Our guide was knowledgeable, the haunts were fun and the stories interesting. The walk wasn’t difficult and we actually saw bears. I do recommend warm clothing as well as comfortable shoes if you’re going in October. The nights are cool even if the days are warm.

Simple informative ghost tour - This ghost tour had interesting stories and was easy to walk. The guide was passionate and very nice. The pictures shown during the tour were impressive. I wish there was more history about Gatlinburg included. I was hoping to go to a cemetery or get closer to some of the buildings. Overall, it was a nice walk while hearing creepy accounts of the area.

Tour guide no show - We waited for over thirty minutes in the cold and the tour guide never showed up. Very disappointing 😞
