Great tour

PHILLIP_H, May 2026
Tour was great and covered a lot of the downtown haunted buildings and stories. Jeff our guide was great

Great History Knowledge

SandyM, May 2026
We enjoyed ourselves. I do these tours more for the history I get from it. Not the murder ghost tour type… but good info in history. I appreciated Jeff’s knowledge and interaction.

Just ok

Not very interactive only about 4 stops. Wish it was more scary and more people would have came. Our group was 3 😟

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the tour felt less interactive and spooky than you hoped, and that the group size was smaller than expected. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future!

Excellent tour

Tony_F, Jul 2025
I had the Birmingham walking ghost tour with Madison, was absolutely fantastic! From the very first stop, I was hooked. Our guide was an amazing storyteller—engaging, funny, and just the right amount of spooky. You could tell they knew the city’s haunted history inside and out, weaving in real historical facts with chilling local legends. Walking through Birmingham’s old streets and hearing about its darker past gave the city a whole new vibe. The stories were creepy without being over-the-top, and the atmosphere after dark made it all feel so authentic. We visited some truly eerie spots I would’ve never known about otherwise. This tour is a must-do for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re into ghost stories or just want a fun and different night out, you’ll love it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat—highly recommended!

Response from Host, Oct 2025
