Downtown Memphis Ghost Tour - Daniel was our tour guide, and he was fabulous! We are locals, but we still learned so much Memphis history along with the ghost tales on the tour. Daniel has a theater background and was engaging and entertaining! We loved our stop at the Green Beetle (one of our local favs), the respectful pause by the Lorraine motel, and exploring upstairs at Ernestine and Hazels! A unique Memphis experience!

Worth the price - Sheena was a friendly, approachable and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the sights of Memphis and the history she shared. We didn’t see any ghosts, but we still had a great experience.

You get more than ghosts 👻 - John was a great tour guide who is a great story teller. He also, clearly, has a deep love for Memphis and presented every story of tragedy in a respectful and kind way. The amount of history in this tour was amazing as well. This was what was really amazing in my opinion. There were so many things I would have never seen or known without this tour about the history of Memphis and several locations.

Must Do - Our tour guide, Sheena was amazing. She was personable and you could tell she loved giving the tour. My daughter & I go on a ghost tour just about in every city we visit. We are only a 1.5 hour drive away from Memphis & visit often but had never done a tour. We both enjoyed it (along with my parents who we made tag along) I would definitely book again- especially to see if I could catch something on camera.
