I had a funny an interesting tour with Etta who is very knowledgeable of the subject and is able to create a suitable atmosphere in the way she speaks. If you stop by in Atlanta take this tour. It's unusual and interesting.

Not very stimulating

Shawna_H, Feb 2026
The guide was not in shape to walk. Although we learned some interesting facts, she is not a good story teller. However she was nice.

Whether you do it with a...

Hannah_G, Nov 2025
Whether you do it with a group or solo, you’re going to have a blast. While the stories don’t compare to those of NOLA or Salem, Etta (or whoever your guide is) will do a great job of bringing them to life!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! We’re happy you had a great time and that Etta’s storytelling brought the tour to life. We’ll pass along your compliments and hope to welcome you back soon!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed walking around midtown and meeting other fun people. We hope to welcome you back for another tour soon!

Very interesting but not what I was expecting

Shonda_S, Oct 2025
It was neat to learn about the history of the buildings and what occurred there, but would have been better if we could have gotten closer to each building.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! We're happy you found the history interesting. We understand how getting closer to the buildings could enhance the experience and appreciate your input. We hope to see you on another tour soon!

10/10 Trash

Bailey_K, Oct 2025
10/10 trash. Our tour guide was Monique and she was clearly just making stuff up and attempting to piece together a story with no ability to tell a story. She would say things like "this is abandoned" and then in the next breath "people still come here for treatment". Like what? She said things that sounded insane, like the Annabelle doll was from the ATL goodwill (as we stood in a sketchy gas station parking lot), and a quick google search proved them wrong. Even with that claim, she couldn't even tell what the movie franchise was that was about Annabelle and said Chuck was based on it. That is when people started leaving the tour early. We gave it until the Fox Theatre, but when she said the Tiny Doors of ATL was for little people to get their tickets, we were done.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello, Bailey! Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience. We understand how frustrating and confusing it must have been to feel like the stories lacked accuracy and consistency. This is far from the standard we aim to uphold. Please reach out to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com with the name your booking was under, and our team will be happy to assist you further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience—we appreciate the opportunity to improve.

Kyra_U, Oct 2025
Fun to learn some local history and lore of the community and neighborhood. Interesting stories, and the guide was enthusiastic and obviously loved what he does.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We're glad you enjoyed learning about the local history and lore. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to your guide—they’ll be thrilled to hear it! We hope to welcome you back for another tour soon.

10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a new experience

Trevor_Z, Sep 2025
It was a great way to see around the area and learn about the history of it my partner and I had a great time and we all got to share our paranormal experiences. It helps that the person leading the tours has a great sense of humor.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello, Trevor! We’re so happy to hear you and your partner had a great time! It’s awesome that you got to learn, laugh, and share some spooky stories along the way. We’ll definitely let your guide know you enjoyed their sense of humor—it makes the tour even more fun. Hope you’ll join us again!

Absolutely Fantastic Ghost Tour with Imani!

Tony_F, Jul 2025
We had an amazing time on the Atlanta ghost walking tour, and our guide Imani truly made the experience unforgettable. From the moment the tour began, Imani had us captivated with her storytelling skills, blending history and spooky tales with humor, energy, and passion. She brought the haunted streets of Atlanta to life, giving us chills one minute and laughter the next. Imani was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging with everyone in the group and answering questions with enthusiasm. She made the experience feel personal and immersive, and her deep knowledge of local lore added so much depth to the stories. The route was well-paced, with just the right mix of creepy sites and fascinating history. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Atlanta. Imani made it feel like we were stepping into another world. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your fantastic review! It means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed the Atlanta tour—and we’re especially happy to know that Imani made such a strong impression. Her passion for storytelling and deep knowledge of Atlanta’s haunted history make every tour something special. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her! We hope to have you join us again, whether here or in another haunted city.

Disappointed

Michelle_M, Jun 2025
Not a ghost tour. More information on a few historical facts . Not scary. Host was very nice.But the tour needs work, more educated tour guides that have knowledge into the paranormal and experience in tours and what the people want in an experience. Scary historical facts and the ability to enter into some of the paranormal sites.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations and lacked the paranormal experience you were hoping for. While we’re glad to hear your host was friendly, we understand how important it is for our tours to deliver both engaging storytelling and a truly spooky atmosphere.

Kyla_H, Jun 2025
It was not factual at all, but a ton of fun. Our guide, Monique was lively and kept up a great pace for the walk around Midtown Atlanta.

Nice walk

Sadie_W, Apr 2025
I try to go on a ghost tour whenever I’m in a new town or city. Our guide was great, I just think Atlanta probably isn’t a “haunted” city compared to others I’ve visited so the stories are not so exciting.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello, Saddie! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your guide and appreciate your passion for ghost tours in every city. While Atlanta might not feel as haunted as some other places, we hope the stories still offered some intrigue. We’d love to have you join us again anytime for more ghostly adventures!

Wonderful Person. Mediocre Tour

James_W, Feb 2025
Our tour guide was a doll but there was no value. It was like her personal diary and personal relationships and such a minimum amount of history. None of it was presented as fact.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the content felt more personal than factual. While we’re glad you found the guide friendly, we understand how important it is to provide accurate and valuable historical information. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please reach out to us at guestrelations@usghostadventures.com with the name your booking was under, and we’ll be happy to assist you further. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

A fun way to spend an evening

Tammy_D, Jan 2025
It was entertaining and an easy walk. Our guide, Cesser, was funny and did a great job. I liked that the Fox Theater was on the walk as I wanted to see it anyway. It was an enjoyable time.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hi, Tammy! We love hearing that you had an enjoyable and easy walk with Cesser—he really knows how to bring the stories to life! And the Fox Theater is such an iconic stop. Hope to see you on another tour soon!

Fun fun!

Oscar_Y, Nov 2024

Entertaining for adults & kids

Renata_H, Sep 2024
The tour was entertaining and the children in our group really got a kick out of using their EMF meters. The stories seemed a bit exaggerated, but my friends enjoyed the experience & I liked seeing the architecture and people of Midtown.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We appreciate your review! It’s wonderful that the kids got a kick out of the EMF meters and that your friends enjoyed the experience. We’re glad you liked seeing the architecture and people of Midtown. Hope to see you again on another tour!

Expected a little more...

Daniel_G, Jul 2024
It was a really big group and Couldn't hear the guide at times. We watched through sketchy parts of town and the stories were not very interesting or true for a city like Atlanta.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the large group size made it difficult to hear the guide and that some parts of the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important it is for everyone to have an engaging and comfortable experience.

Hotlanta Haunting - Great Experience!

Carolyn_F, Jul 2024
Great atmosphere, short easy walk, great host. Saw a bit more of Atlanta. Good stories, good price, would do this again.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the great atmosphere, easy walk, and good stories. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments to your host. Hope to see you again for another fun tour!

It was OK

Ken_P, Jul 2024
Guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but the tour was short and lacked some substance. We had fun and I would recommend it if you have an hour or so to kill. If you’re a serious “ghostly”, this tour is not for you.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We appreciate your review! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the guide and had a fun time, even if the tour was on the shorter side. We’ll share your praise with the guide. Hope to see you again sometime!

So fun!

Hello, Sarah! We appreciate your kind review! It’s great to know Etta made your time memorable with her knowledge and energy. We’ll definitely pass your compliments to her. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Fun!

Courtney_S, Jun 2024
Etta was full of energy and knowledge! We really enjoyed this tour :) We especially liked hearing about the Fox theater as we have been there before and felt as though it must be haunted!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear Etta’s energy and knowledge made your tour enjoyable. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments to her. Hope to see you again soon for more spooky adventures!

The whole thing. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Nice walk around the area. Very close to get on and off the train.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello, Kim! We appreciate your review! Glad the walk and the guide’s knowledge made for a good experience. We’ll share your compliments with the guide. Hope to see you again on another tour!

Perfect, short tour for the evening

Samir_P, Jan 2024
Fun tour, short and perfect for a weekday evening (or even a date night) to get some steps in and learn about Atlanta. The tour guide Etta was fun and entertainingly explained things.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Samir, we're glad you had a fun experience on your tour! It's great to hear that Etta provided an entertaining evening for you. Thanks for joining us!

I learned so much and was entertained the whole time!

Kimberly_S, Nov 2023
Our guide, Susie, was smart, fun, entertaining, and such a good storyteller. Loved learning about the haunted locations of the Midtown area while also learning things about Atlanta that I didn’t know. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We are so glad to hear this! Thank you for sharing your great experience with Susie on your tour. Your recommendation means so much to us!

Very fun tour!

Jasmine_T, Oct 2023
I thought it was very fun!! It was mainly just spooky stories. I thought we'd actually get to maybe experience some paranormal activity, but it was just history about the buildings. My tour guide Spencer was very funny and i like how he told the stories! Walking around at night and listening to scary stories definitely adds to the spooky vibe!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thanks for joining us for a tour! We're glad you had fun with Spencer, and that you enjoyed his spooky storytelling. It's great to hear that his stories added to the eerie vibes during the evening. We'd love to have you on another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit--or, if you're interested in more paranormal activity, look into our haunted B&Bs for a late-night ghost hunt, or even an overnight stay if you dare!
