Perfect for ghost story lovers and history buffs - Trevor was a gentleman and a scholar and his passion and knowledge about Nashville history made me almost forget how cold it was outside. Particularly enjoyed the bits about history and ghost sightings related to the Civil War and government buildings. I would recommend taking this tour.

Steve - Steve was very knowledgeable of the area. Nashville sounds like a very violent place to be. But now people say it is a nice place to visit. I am not so sure being that there are so many murders around the town.

Nashville ghost in December - our guide (Nestor) had great knowledge of the Nashville history and kept your attention throughout the tour. At the end of the tour he presented some awesome photos that supported the stories.

Ghost Tales of Inaccurate History - It was cold out and our guide did his best, but if we are going to stand for 20 minutes and listen about tales of President Jackson and Polk, perhaps there should be a better historical account of the type of men they were. Jackson “Trail of Tears” profiteered from the worst of slavery and displacement of Native Americans as did Polk. Truly, it’s not a “ghost tour” as we the discussions were primarily around those Presidents, Strickland (architect) and the suffragettes (please remember their names… Stanton and Mott). If my kids are joining these tours, I really prefer a balance versus “tough, good Christian men.” Not sure it was the guide’s fault but rather the company which creates their narrative.

Ghosted on the ghost tour - Horrible. Would give zero stars if I could. Never got to take the tour. The tour we booked was apparently not even offered that night we booked and paid for. After being stood up we called and they took my email to talk about reimbursing me three days later. (Yet to receive any refund or compensation). We can’t trust TripAdvisor to even try and book another tour or experience. So much wasted time and a profound disappointment.
