Perfect night activity in Ashville - We had a blast! It was a smaller than usual group due to the weather but it was great because we got to ask a lot of questions. Guides we informative and entertaining, a perfect mix of paranormal and local history!

Brian is amazing! - What an awesome experience! Brian our tour guide was an amazing storyteller weaving both historical and ghost stories seamlessly. We went on a rainy night but that did not dampen the experience at all. I highly recommend this tour, and Brian!

Really enjoyed ourselves - My 14-year-old granddaughter and I went on this walking ghost tour. I thought it was great and really enjoyed myself, even my granddaughter stayed engaged about 50% of the time. Which is better than usual. The guide was great. It was more of a combination of history, legends, true crime, & ghosts..

Ghost tour gurus give this 5 stars - We have done ghost tours in every city we have visited in the last 5 or more years - Charleston, St. Augustine, Savannah, Chicago, etc... - and we LOVE them. This one was easily one of the best we have done. The location listed in the email was right on point for the meeting place. It was easily walkable from our hotel, too. We didn't check the weather, so unfortunately, we ended up doing it on a night when it was 25 degrees out. Brian, our guide, was awesome enough to keep us out in the cold for a long while. Also, we started with 4 on the tour and he let us know right away that we could ask for any type of personalizations we wanted in such a small group, which was great. He took us around to some really great spots, and while nothing happened in front of our eyes, you could feel the weight of the events he was describing. He had an excellent knowledge of Asheville history and a great sense of humor to keep his stories captivating. By the end of the tour, my husband and I were the only ones left so he was kind enough to direct it to a final stop near our hotel so we wouldn't be too far with the freezing temperatures.

Great historical and spooky tour! - If you are looking for a historical and spooky tour of Asheville with true accounts included, this is the tour for you! Brian was an excellent guide who brought in his own historical knowledge along with his personal experiences and research. This tour was fascinating (AND spooky!!).

Don’t - We never got an email about our tickets. We went to the meeting place, and there was nobody there. We tried to call and they don’t answer their phone, and it says on their phone voicemail message that you can only get their tickets from their website, which is a lie since we got it on here. We went trying to find them with the places on the lists and they were no where to be found. We decided to look each place up and investigate ourselves, and each place was only “allegedly or according to some people certain things happened here” with nothing truly haunting about them. I don’t recommend you go unless you are ridiculously early and don’t care if it’s just ghost stories people made up.
