Did not meet our expectations, not worth the cost.

| We went a group of friends, all of us with our spouses. We are all grad students in Memphis and thought this would be a fun activity on Halloween. We were disappointed that we did not go in any of the buildings except for one restaurant. We also thought the guide would be dressed up for Halloween and be a little scarier. He was funny, but there wasn't anything scary about the tour. It was fun to see the city, but definitely not worth the price |

Fun if you are interested in ghosts

| Hi!
I really enjoyed the fact that our tour guide was the same individual that we had for the Hound Dog Tour. The fact that he remembered our faces was great too! It means that you make your "customers" feel remembered. He was very energetic and enthusiastic about the whole tour.
I absolutely loved the Hound Dog Tour but this tour needs something. I loved the historical facts about the tour but thought that we would have been able to actually visit the inside of the buildings that we went to. I know that this is not feasible in some regards. I enjoyed the restaraunt that we got to go into (the Nelson Twins were there).
Don't get me wrong, the tour was great due to being told about the history of Memphis and actually seeing some interesting things. But, it needed more information as far as how people died (the lady that was found in her apartment) and if the tour could possibly check out the places it would be so much better!!
Thanks for the history lessons!! : )

| the guide was animated and fun and had a great deal of patience with a drunk female in the group, who insisted on interrupting him
i felt our group (i think there were 20) was a little large to hear well, and had to kind of jockey to get close to the guide
he was very well informed and had an excellent sense of humor, quick on his feet
the only thing i would change is not having the initial talk in front of the kiosk, as there is a loudspeaker there that plays music from inside the club; we could not hear a word he was saying |

| My boyfriend and I were in Memphis for a long weekend, it was the first of two stops we made on a road trip for the long weekend. I have always been fascinated by the ghost stories that haunt towns rich in history and Memphis is one city that I was sure had a few stories in its past -- and therefore some spirtits with "unfinished business." We opted not to take a traditional historical tour of Memphis and went for this ghost tour instead. It was informative, and the guide knew enough of the history of the town (from the Civil War times through the Segregation era) to supplement his stories with known factual information -- believer in ghosts or not. The length of the tour was appropiate, and the pace was leisurely so that our group that varied in age could all enjoy. |

| Stories were interesting. Guide was nice and funny. Would have liked to enter more of the haunted establishments. |

| We went on the Ghost walking tour. I thought there would be more to the tour. It was entertaining but you only get to go inside one building. There were maybe 5 or 6 stops on the tour. Our tour lasted less than an hour. It was interesting but most of what you see you could look up on google before you get there and do your own tour. The guide was good but I think it would be better if you could actually go in some more locations and not just stand on the sidewalk and look at the building. It was entertaining and it is not too expensive so I would recommend it for people interested in that sort of tour. |

Great and Courteous Tour Guide

| ...there were a few ghost stories that drew my attention and intrigued me, but overall the tour was a little lack-luster....the tour guide was great and knowledgable about local history and hauntings and I appreciated his effort on this tour, but lacked a little in terms of what a haunted tour should be...( a little scary).... |

| I really enjoyed the woman that took us on it. She was very good at storytelling. The tour was fine but would be better if you could enter some of the buildings. Especially the apt where the DJ was killed. I would think they would allow it since it is just a model. Might be worth checking into if you haven't already. |

| 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! :) |
