| Memphis has so much history and Backbeat does a great job protraying it. The tour guide was informative. It is kind of like a walking history tour with ghosts. It is not scary just interesting. I felt very safe walking around downtown. |

We made it interesting!

| At first, I was REALLY disappointed in the tour. We couldn't hear our guide and we THOUGHT we would actually get to go into the haunted locations. But, we started snapping pictures of locations that we "felt" had activity. AND CAUGHT SOMETHING!!! After showing it to the guide and other tourists, we got into the walk. But stopped paying attention to the guide. I should have been the one to get paid. |

| I wouldn't recommend this tour. Having taken a number of ghost tours in different cities around the globe this one ranks towards the bottom. The guide was entertaining but appeared to be in a hurry to get somewhere after work. I couldn't recount any real details of the ghost stories he told us. It was more along the lines of "Here's a theater. A girl died here after being struck in the street. Let's move along..."
Hate to be negative, but either find some more interesting ghosts, add details to the haunts, or cancel this tour altogether. |

| if you are looking for something a little more serious, then this isn't a good tour. If you are drunk and want to waste 20 bucks. Go for it. You learn about so called haunted spots around downtown, but that's it. for 5 dollars and a free beer, I say go. Otherwise, no. |

| I was not at all as pleased with the Ghost Walk as I thought. It was more a glorified history lesson on legs!! I am not upset that I did it, just for the simple fact that I can write it down as something that I got to experience. I was a little embarrassed that I asked friends to come along as a part of my birthday celebrations! |

| It is not worth the price. The tour guide was corny and I left very dissappointed. It started off bad and ended even worse. There nothing that will make me take this tour again |
|
Very creepy! Chills galore!

| Very well done! Our tour guide, Stephanie, was knowledgeable and fun! We all enjoyed our walking tour of Memphis and would definitely recommend it to others. |

Nice walk for out-of-towns looking for time killer

| This was a cool little walk around downtown. Being from Memphis, I enjoyed hearing about the history of my city- yellow fever epidemic, what buildings were used for in the past, etc. I was a little disappointed we didn’t get to go in more buildings, but if you are looking for an interesting time killer of something to do in Memphis, this is a nice alternative to the regular downtown Beale scene. When it comes to real ghosts, I'm a skeptic so I can only say that the stories were very interesting, the guide was enthusiastic and I was intrigued. It’s worth the time spent, whether you are a local looking for some history of your town or a tourist killing time. I thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| I don't believe in ghost stories, but the tour was still entertaining. We learned about some of Memphis's history. We saw a couple buildings we wouldn't have known about except for the tour. We had a large group on our tour, probably 25 or so. Our guide was very knowledgeable. |
