Great tour! Very informative history - Very informative! We ended up in the middle of a thunderstorm but we still got lots of information- went from one overhang to another! We laughed at how wet we all got- but it just added to the experience! Highly recommended! Kudos to our guide Nestor who kept the group entertained under the weather conditions and for finishing the tour even though you could have totally finished the tour when the torrential rain hit! We appreciate you sticking it out and running through the puddles with all of us! Great time!

Great tour! - We loved our murder and ghost tour with Nestor. We did it on our first night in Nashville. It gave us a good lay of the land around Nashville. It was also fun to share some of the cool things we learned from our tour. Nestor was animated and very entertaining.

Wonderful mix of ghosts and history - Our ghost tour was great! We had Mike as our tour guide, he was very personable and knowledgeable about not only the ghost stories, but the history of the areas as well. He was able to answer any questions asked, and did a wonderful job at explaining the history of the locations as well as tying in some of the ghost stories. It’s more focused on history than a pure ghost tour I would say, but definitely well worth doing if you’re going to Nashville. Make sure to meet by the statue in the photo so you don’t miss your tour time.

Great - Josh was energetic and engaging! Knew lots, bit more of a history tour, than ghost/murder, but that’s not his fault. It was still an awesome tour and would do it again.

History and Murder Rolled Into One Tour!! - The Murder in Nashville Tour was very enlightening, both from an historical and a mystery standpoint. Mike was wonderful on this cold night. He answered questions and kept up the pace of the stops. The only thing I would recommend is that he waits until he has the entire group together before he begins speaking about the various locations.

The tour guide was very... - The tour guide was very nice, but needed to add more details to his stories. The cold temperature of the night couldn't be helped.

Saw Alvin York Statue - Waited for almost an hour and guide never arrived. Hopefully not due to any unfortunate circumstances, but notification would have been appreciated.
