| My mother-in-law and I took this tour last week when we were in Memphis, and were somewhat dissappointed. It had the potential to be a really interesting tour, but the woman who lead us around wasn't any good. While a nice woman, she had dismal story-telling skills and was easily distracted. With someone ele leading the tour, it would have been a great night!
So, while I do recommend this tour, I suggest you ask for Memphis Jones, who took us on the Historic Tour the next morning. He loves his town, loves the music and can actually tell a story in a thrilling and interesting way! |

| My daughter and I really enjoyed the tour she is 14 and we are into history and ghosts so it was very interesting. Our tour guide was also from around the area so along with the ghost stories we also got some history as well. My favorite part was walking through the back alleys and looking at the old buildings, its one thing to just look at them but to know the importance to the history of Memphis we kind of got some inside stories, would highly recommend it.
A side note: As we were standing outside the apartment building where a recent murder occurred I felt a tug on the back of my jacket -- adjusting my clothes thinking it was my purse catching on something, looking behind me a couple of times -- a minute later it happened again -- I didn't say anything -- I really thought it was my imagination but when I tried to duplicate the feeling by pulling on my jacket myself -- I couldnt do it without my collar going with it -- now I really think someone was trying to get my attention -- pretty cool... I am wondering if I am the only one? |

| The Guide (sorry, I didn't get her name) was an extremely nice lady, but not much of a story teller. She talked more about touring the differnent places with Jake and her personal experiances than telling the story. She has potential to be a great ghost tour guide. For instance, she began telling the story how she and Jake were researching locations and came upon this old resturaunt they thought might be haunted. When eating, they asked their waitress, who took them to the butcher. She described how he grunted and grunted then finally led them down a long hallway to an empty room, where she saw a shadow. She spent several minutes describing this encounter with the butcher and lost us for the history and happenings of the site. A ghost tour guide should also be a good story teller. Weaveing the history and happenings together to peak interest and give the crowd a chill. |

| The stories were captivating, especially the ones involving a known individual - Orpheum and Gayoso apartment. I wish we were able to visit some of the haunted spaces.
The ad stated we would join a guide with lantern to tour the area. Obviously, the lantern wasn't necessary, but a period costume would have been a nice touch, especially since the mid to late 1800s seemed to be the most active source of spirits.
My granddaughter is still talking about the tour. |

| What made the tour fun was the enthusiasm of our guide. He was knowledgeable and was more than willing to let us share ghost stories of our own. We learned more about Memphis and the tour was just the right length, both time and distance. I would recommend this tour to friends and tourists. |

| We were very interested in the history and the stories of buildings and the ghost that haunt them, but I thought we would be going into the buildings and exploring more. Our guide was very knowledgable and made it fun. Thank you |

| My friends and I went on the tour this past Saturday night, and we had a great time. Our tour guide did a great job- she really knew her stuff, and she made the tour a lot of fun. Great job! :) |
