Spooky Ghost Tour - Fantastic tour! Went with the family and the girls loved it. Our tour guide (Alex?) was so knowledgeable and a great story teller. Learned a lot of history about Knoxville we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Would recommend to adults and kids alike. Thanks again!

Family fun - Liz was amazing. Turned out it was just me & my two adult children. The four of us had so much fun. She put up with our craziness! Very enjoyable evening.

I got shivers from the stories told. - I enjoyed the history and stories of how the sites I visited became haunted. My guest was thrilled because he is a ghost chaser.

The guide was great—very... - The guide was great—very knowledgeable and engaging. He did his best to keep us entertained during what was otherwise a pretty uneventful walking tour. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to go inside any of the so-called haunted houses or locations; it was all just stories told from the outside. Honestly, I could have gotten more information online and rewatched Ghostbusters for the 50th time instead. Wouldn’t recommend.

Disappointing tour - We take these tours to learn the history of the cities we're visiting while being entertained by ghost stories. This tour gave some interesting history but seemed to focus on the ghosts the tour guide felt she knew and her personal history- which was not uninteresting, however not what we cared to learn. Also it was raining and the guide had no umbrellas or ponchos, which was not what we're used to when we take these tours. Finally, what little history we did learn seemed spotty and the guide struggled to answer any follow up questions. Overall, would not recommend.
