Gatlinburg Ghost Tour - I throughly enjoyed our ghost tour. First of all it was 2 hours, twice as long as other Gatlinburg tours. It was very interactive. He showed us pictures on an iPad, videos, and he handed out equipment to all the groups. I got an obelesque. It was great fun, and really added to my enjoyment of the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and pleasant to be around. He blended Gatlinburg history with ghost stories with ease, we even saw a bear, from a distance. This tour was done in a manner that it is family friendly. Stories were tastefully done where even children could enjoy. Overall our tour was very fun, slightly scary, very informative, and a nice little tour of Gatlinburg. I highly recommend the experience.

Informative, fun, interesting, and exciting!! - Pete was a great guide and of good character. I’ve been on lots of ghost tours, and this still has its differences that stood out as interesting. The history along with the paranormal sightings was fascinating and having the tools in your hand to pick up on energies was pretty cool. Good time, just enough walking not too much.

Gatlinburg Ghost Tour - We chose the 9 pm tour. Cathy was our guide and she was very knowledgeable of the history behind each location. The tour was very interactive and the kids had lots of fun. If you are looking for an excursion that is unique I highly recommend the ghost tour. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Mister Bear just wanted the dumpster. - We had an amazing tour. And even with the bear that walked past us we all were calm and felt safe with Pete in charge. He was an awesome guide and we had such a great time.
