Make time for this one - I’ve been on a few ghost tours and this was by far the best. Pete was our guide and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. If you like the paranormal or even if you don’t it’s an interesting tour about the history of the area.

Great experience - Our guide Kathy did an amazing job, she was very knowledgeable and made the stories so interesting. My 11 year old daughter just loved it and asked a lot of questions. She is still talking about it days later she wants to do it again. I have to say I don't blame her we had a great time learning the history of the city.

Great Ghost Tour - I recently took the ghost and haunt walking tour in Gatlinburg with Kathy, and it was fantastic. Kathy was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing eerie stories and local history. The best part was getting to use ghost hunting equipment—something I haven’t seen on other tours. Definitely recommend it if you’re into ghosts and want a fun, hands-on experience!

Can’t wait to do it again - Cass and “Vana” were so funny and knowledgeable about the history of Gatlinburg and made it so interesting. The pics they had captured was really shocking! But even though we didn’t see any ghosts or spirits that night, we had just as much fun by the scares by the bear that kept wanting to walk our same trail looking for the good garbage bins
