Good spooky time - Good information. Comfortable bus. Both the driver and commentator were very friendly, courteous, and knowledge. We enjoyed ourselves and our small group made it super cozy. Love how they were prepared with mosquito repellant for us. Good tour!

Fun - Great stories that tie both history and ghosts together. Even when things plans had to be altered, out tour guides were flexible and friendly. We'll do this tour again!

Very Informative - The Haunted House Tour was more than we expected. Had a great time and will tell all our family and friends. The host was knowledgeable and very informative.

A great way to tour Memphis - A great historical tour of some of the oldest spots in the city with a dark past. They carefully avoid sensationalizing tragedies, keeping a respectful distance while sharing events that have led to Memphis's reputation as a "cursed" city. Interesting to 3 generations of my family - no small feat! Quite a bit of walking involved, but the driver Keith, who's funny enough to do stand-up comedy, willingly shares tidbits of history with those whose limited mobility keeps them on the bus.

The night the ole lady fell - I wasn’t sure what ti expect. I did like all the historical information that the guide gave that was very interesting. Could have done with the trying to talk to the other side stuff. As a Christian I don’t believe anyone should be messing with that.

Ghostly history - While I enjoy a good walking tour, taking a bus allows you to see a lot more in a short period of time. This 90-minute tour was also a nice way to learn about the history of Memphis from the yellow fever epidemic to the wreck of the Sultana, and other unfortunate events that are likely to have contributed quite a few ghosts to the city. The driver, Keith, was super friendly and funny and the guide, Alexander, worked hard to share all of the details with us despite the fact that he was relatively new. During the tour, you get to use a few ghost investigation tools. While they didn’t necessarily work very well the night of our tour (in other words, they didn’t seem to indicate much ghostly activity), it was still interesting to see how they are used. It’s not super scary but it was a nice way to see parts of the city that weren’t on our list and to get up to speed on history.

Meh - We have been on several haunted tours over the years and one haunted bus tour last year in Key West, Florida. We enjoy them as a rule and did enjoy this one, but this one was not our most memorable. It was just ok.
