Walkin’ Ghosts in Memphis
Had a really great informative tour with Daniel. Great knowledge of the city and its ghostly inhabitants. Really enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend to book to anyone!
Fun walk and great ghost stories
John was a fantastic guide-we had such a great time! He is the best-such a good story teller-and very knowledgeable! I absolutely recommend this tour. A+++++
Great history tour with ghostly stories
We had a great time with Sheena learning about Memphis history and nice sprinkles of ghosty-ness throughout. It was a hot night but we got drinks at the meeting location prior to leaving (highly recommend) and set out on our walking tour. I loved all the stories and some of the locations were very beautiful. I didn't pick up anything in my pictures or videos but it was a fun time and I would definitely recommend.
Very disappointing
This was the most disappointing ghost tour I have ever been on. There were very few ghost stories and some untruths told (Elvis did not make his first recording at 16, Ray Charles was not arrested at the Earnestine and Hazels, or even in Memphis, and the Hotel Pontotoc is not a 5 star hotel). Additionally, I prefer personal politics to be left out of any paid entertainment. I am spending my time and money to learn about the city, not about the guide’s personal political opinions. I have also never been on a tour that leaves you abandoned on the street when you are not familiar with the area. The tour guide offered to point us in the right direction to get back and quickly left when we got to the location of his parked car, about a 20 minute walk from where we started. I would unfortunately never recommend this tour to anyone.
Chilling
Daniel was great providing not only ghost tales but also a little overall history. I have to say the last stop gave us all the chills. I took video and picture there and captured some pretty disturbing images and a crazy laugh followed by a scream on video. Daniel please contact me so I can get your email address to send them to you. Wendy Sandmann 8/16
