Education amd fun - I got super lucky. There were two other people (a couple) that decided to leave at the beginning due to the rain starting. I had extra umbrellas in my car so we just kept going on with the tour. The entire time after that, it was just the tour guide and myself. We went way more in depth on the history and stories of the town and the buildings. It was one of the most educational and fun tours I've been on in my entire life. The graveyard creeped me out, but I'm just naturally creeped out by graveyards.

Ghost tour with Derek was Awesome!!! - My daughter wanted to do this for her 20th birthday! I booked the extra 4 locations, rented her the EMF device & bought her a plush ghost to take home! She absolutely loved it & we had so much fun! Walking around downtown beautiful Knoxville & learning the history of the haunted buildings that we look at every day, was extremely cool & Derek was awesome! Favorite part of her day!

The guide was great—very... - The guide was great—very knowledgeable and engaging. He did his best to keep us entertained during what was otherwise a pretty uneventful walking tour. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to go inside any of the so-called haunted houses or locations; it was all just stories told from the outside. Honestly, I could have gotten more information online and rewatched Ghostbusters for the 50th time instead. Wouldn’t recommend.

Disgust with Viator after paid tour was cancelled and not refunded. - Tour was cancelled with good reason. Thunder storm with severe rain and considerable lightning. I was told I could book another tour at a later date. When I tried to do another tour I was told I could not use the funds and would need to request a refund. The Viator saleswoman on the phone said she would request a refund. I then received emails stating "no refund" in spite of my multiple emails explaining the issue.
