Great tour, great guide, great experience! - Highly recommend! My husband and I have been on many ghost tours. This tour and our guide Nestor, are hands down the best! The entire evening from start to finish was packed with tons of history, high energy, and amazing haunts. This wasn't a typical tour of folklore, these are tours based on research and documented events! You will definitely get your money's worth!

This is a history tour, not a ghost tour! - I’ve done ghost tours in many cities and this was the worst. I felt like I signed up for a full blown History of Nashville tour! The time spent at the Capital Building was incredibly boring and WAY too many steps to climb! The paranormal activity details were just a small spec of the in depth stories the guide would tell. It was as though we were being taught a ton of history and then “occasionally a shadow is seen darting in the trees…now onto the next stop”. Most tours give a cliff notes version of the history and go into depth with paranormal activity- even have little booklets with pictures of a hotel window and an orb or shadow resembling the activity there, newspaper articles, etc. We ended up parting from the tour once we got to the Dream hotel. Couldn’t bear listening to it any longer. Again, if a history tour is your thing, this is for you. If you want a true ghost tour…this isn’t it. And if you aren’t in shape to walk tons and tons of stairs to the capital- don’t book this tour! I am in shape and those that weren’t really struggled.
