Captivating Stories

Storytelling and insights were fun and held our interest as the guide was enthusiastic and well informed. Always excited to learn stories of a newly visited area. Ernestine and Hazel's is a trip in itself.

I love the walking Ghost tours that big cities offer. Not only do you hear about ghosts, but the personal history of the cities. Great stuff!

Throughly disgusted

I went on this tour hoping to enjoy my night out with my husband and mother-in-law. Everything went fine and we were all enjoying ourselves, until our tour guide stopped us outside the Lorriane Motel. We thought this would be an interesting stop because we did not know much about the area and did not realize how close James Earl Ray actually was when he fired upon Martin Luther King. It was a nice little side trip in our "haunted" stops until our tour guide explained that James Earl Ray got all the way to Heathrow Airport, outside of the US before he was caught. She said, and I quote, "We all know, Memphis Police Suck". This comment really struck me. First of all, nothing that happened that day was any officers fault, not to mention, this was the 1960s! Secondly, what made it even worse, we wouldn't have been able to walk up and down the dark streets and alleys of downtown Memphis had there not been are strong police presence. The entire livelihood of the tour is based on the safety the Memphis Police bring to the entire city of Memphis. Once this comment left the guide's mouth, we left. We did not finish the tour. I was entirely too disgusted to even enjoy the rest of my night. Mind you, my husband who went on the tour as well, is a Memphis Police Officer. We were all truly hurt my the comment, especially my husband, who tries his hardest everyday to be a good police officer and courteous to all the citizens, while still effectively doing his job to protect the city and its citizens. I hope that in the future such comments are left out, because you never know who is in your audience.

Fun and Exciting!

While I did enjoy the walking tour and took many photos, I was disappointed that most of the buildings we saw were not open to us to tour inside. The only building that was open for us to tour is what made the tour worth-while. The tour guide was very nice, and understanding since we did have children. She was a great gal, very energetic!

Ghost Tour was a lot of fun

The tour guides were very good. They were very convincing. Moved at a good pace. The best part is when we were able to do our own investigating in the bar. Price was reasonable. I enjoyed it.
