| Our Memphis Walking Ghost Tour was the highlight of our trip. Not only was our tour guide funny ... he was also very knowledgeable about the area and the vivid pictures he painted for us was as intense as it was interesting. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone in the Memphis area who is interested in the paranormal ... and even those who aren't. I guarantee that even the most skeptic person alive would enjoy the stories about the town and the past inhabitants there. | ||||||

| I highly recommend this tour, especially if your tour guide and musician is Memphis Jones. He is great and very personable and a very good musician and singer. The tour is fun, you get to play along and sing as well. Plus you get a good history of the Memphis music and I learned a few things that i did not know about very well known songs and singers and you do i all on a 1950's era bus. Definitely worth the money. | ||||||

| Was interesting but I had my mom with me and she is 69 with bad knees and could not keep up with the pase the tour guide walked. Very fast pase until he stopped to talk. Great for younger folks or even my age but for seniors I would not recommend it. Plus, there really wasn't much to the tour. So okay - but I would not do again. | ||||||

| The tour was printed as scheduled for 1.5 hrs. but we only got 1.25 hrs. Never had a chance to jump out and take pictures of sites. Would have liked more time to go into Sam Phillips studio, etc. for a quick run-through. Really liked the live music and audience participation! Music was appropriate for what we were seeing as sites. | ||||||

| Hi I took the ghost walk. The guide was a very fun and nice young man, and enthusiastic about his role. He was so energetic, I hate to even make a constructive comment! But since you asked, I will and I hope it will be helpful. Basically, this was not really a ghost walk, so I think I would re-name it. If there are no other ghost stories in Memphis, then I would not even attempt to manufacture that type of expectation. Rather, this had a few quirky stories and more history than ghosts. Either refer to it as some sort of "offbeat Memphis" theme, or "Memphis history" tour. However, I do think there are probably a number of ghost stories, and you are possibly not reading the right books or touring the right spots, or not talking with the right people. Something is just not clicking with the "ghost scene" in any case. I thought the history aspect was really a pretty good one - especially about the cotten storage, and how they got the cotten up into Memphis from the riverbanks, and also about the plague and how the blacks really re-built Memphis. There are great stories there- tap into them! I would also suggest taking more advantage of the "atmosphere" of downtown Memphis. There is more of that than you are using. You are not taking advantage of Beale Street, nor the river. Why not? I did like the walk thru the alley's and his showing us how Memphis may have looked early in the 1900s. If you could combine perhaps even a trolly ride downtown, or somehow get folks down near the water and riverboat, I am sure there are stories there. Also there could be some good characters and descriptions of life during the heyday of the riverboats....even about the "town that cotten built". The Peabody is a gem, and there have to be some good stories from there - in fact, he did tell us a very good ghost story from there, but proceeded to sorta dampen it by offering way too much about how no one who works there will validate it and even further, thinks they have signed a statement that they'll not talk, and so forth....it was a good story that got lost in too much personal angst. We stopped in a local restaurant, which was delightful. However, it was about 20 minutes into the walk, and he was using it as a stopping point for us to catch our breath??? I'm old, but geez, not that old! Still it was one of the highlights and I enjoyed meeting Polly and some of her dining guests there....he should definitely keep this on the tour - but perhaps further into it??? Anyway, I am about to run out of "character space" so I am going to stop. I did not feel that the walk was worth the price. I think you need to perhaps reduce the price to maybe $10-$12 tops until you get it more refined and organized. I do these ghost walks in various towns, and if you want a great example, check out the ghost walk in Key West or Charleston. There is also a fantastic Jack the Ripper walk in London! Does Memphis have a similar character? Well, that's it. Thanks - Polly | ||||||

| I really enjoyed the tour. It was interactive. Memphis Jones had a lot of cool facts that no one in our group new. He was also an incredible musician. I think the music makes the tour. Thank you for a great experience! | ||||||

| We had a really great tour, we visited all of elvis's old haunts and saw where he grew up and went to school it was very interesting. The bus was very fun, especially memphis Jones the entertainer he sang elvis songs and gave us lots of information, we even joined in with playing musical instruments on the bus. We would highly reccomend this tour. | ||||||
